The day I found out my boyfriend cheated, I also got punched in the face. In public.
Our relationship was long-distance, and I’d taken leap after leap of faith. Making the first move when we’d met, openly talking to him when fear and doubts would creep in instead of letting them brew. When I told him I loved him, it was because it was the truth. It had felt like a mature relationship, no games. And it was exotic. Travelling to Marseilles every month, swept away by this smooth-talking, snowboarding Frenchman. But for the whole time, I ignored my intuition.
I ignored the fact that I’d never hear from him on weekends. Or that the last time I’d visited, I’d seen a note on the fridge saying he was at the post office and would be back soon, xx. Or the fact that I never met any of his friends again after the night we got together. I told myself they were just ‘fears’ until eventually, I decided I wanted something more and broke things off. Still, my intuition kept picking away at me.
6 months later while in France, I paid him a friendly visit and met the woman who was actually his girlfriend for the entire time we’d been together, right outside of his house. And when I say “met” I mean, punched and left with a bleeding nose on a busy street in the middle of the afternoon in central Marseille.
She only stopped attacking me when I’d told her I wasn’t there to win him back. It turned out, she’d found every single one of our emails. Rather than admit to cheating, he’d created a fake email account in my name with an entire conversation to make it look like he’d ended the relationship, instead of me. I can still remember the hurt on her face when she realised she hadn’t only been cheated on, but lied to as well.
Nico (and I really refrain from using your last name even though I really want to), you were a bad, bad egg with not much of a backbone. But you did teach me two things (CONT’D in comments):
