Is it normal my partner of 5 years cheated on me?

Found out he was seeing other women behind my back while with me. Got upset he said I was overreacting they were just friends but then found out through a mutual friend he was with one of them. I fell into depression didn't contact him so maybe it's my fault I let them get so close because 4 months later he's talking about moving in with her to the mutual friend who was told not to tell me...

I am so devastated. Is this my fault i was too depressed after I found out he cheated so I stopped contact with him for months I didn't know what to say he didn't contact me either but maybe he thought I didn't love him when I love him to bits.

The new girl isn't right for him at all. This is also her first boyfriend ever so she's acting like little miss perfect yet she isn't right for him. Looking back at photos of her and comments she made, she's obnoxious. Really outspoken and rude. I even showed my friends and family her page and they were lost as to why he would date her.

I don't understand any of this or the logic. Is it normal?

    It's not your fault at all. If he didn't have the balls to tell you he was moving on its his problem not yours. If he comes crawling back tell him to take a hike. Meanwhile get out there and meet someone with a brain and balls.

  • It’s not your fault for not contacting him I would of shut down after something like that too the fact he would cheat in general he’s the one to blame. He cheated before you shut down and continues to, not because you stopped talking to him but because he’s going to no matter what cause he’s a piece of shit.
    It’s probably a matter of time till she shows her true self after being with him and that they arnt right after the honeymoon stage and he may come crawling back but I’d throw him off a roof and never look back. Going back to someone who can hurt you as bad as cheating doesn’t ever deserve your love again weather he felt it was there or not sounds like his shitty excuse. Especially fucking 5 years sounds like he just wanted freedom and can’t stand something real and to me that sounds like a boy go find yourself a real man who won’t hurt you.

    • Wow what incredible words, thank you. Yeah I guess he wasn't ready for a real relationship and wasted years of my life leading me to believe otherwise. It will be nice when they split because her family are millionaires and she gets everything she wants so he can pretty much be set for life and he doesn't deserve that good karma.

      Thanks so much.

    I voted it’s not normal. Your reaction is normal, however his behavior is not. It’s not normal to cheat on someone. His behavior is not normal. It’s nothing you did though, honey. Cheating is one of the worst things you can ever do to someone. I hope you recover and find someone that makes you happy. Please, if ever given the chance, never go back to him. A man like that isn’t worth your time. If someone says they love you and then cheat, they’re lying. Plain and simple. Don’t fall for it again. I don’t understand why women stay with cheaters. Find yourself a man who will treat you as his world.
