Is it normal to stay with my bf until i can afford my own place?

My boyfriend and i have been living together for over a year and we have a cat and other belongs that we split the cost on, so we ultimately both own. I recently found out that he is cheating on me, i obviously do not want to be with him anymore, but i cant afford my own place at the moment. Btw, he has no idea that i know hes been cheating. Is it normal if i pretend i dont know, save up for a couple months, and then break up with him when i can afford my own place?

    I'd find a friend to stay with or go to your parents.

    sounds like he is trying to play dumb, i think he has had enough experience cheating that he knows what signs to show and not show that he has cheated.
    do you still act like a couple? its probably a good idea to spend less time together and start treating him like a room mate instead of your boyfriend. that way when you do leave, it will be easier for both of you.
    are you planning on telling him that you found the email?
    if i was you, i would take revenge just before moving out like banging his best mate in your bed and leaving the condoms lying around so he knows something went on. i would try to hurt him so much that he will think twice about cheating again.

    I cant go live with my mom because her place is too small and i cant bring my cat with. Also its definite cheating. I found emails between him and a girl on craigslist talking abouttheir date and whatnot, thats enough for me. Ive been trying to make him feel guilty, ie. Telling him i had a dream he was cheating on me, making him watch cheaters, nothing works. I dont think he has a conscience, im just heartbroken.

    Use any and all guilt he may have over cheating- without actually admitting you know about it- to your advantage. Get him to start paying for more things and save up so you can get outta there as fast as you can!

    How did you know he was cheating? If you saw him with another girl kissing or doing something else.... then he is cheating. But if you heard it maybe he isn't cheating on you. ANYWAY....

    maybe you should move out if he is cheating on you. You and your BF or Ex BF could have some some counseling.

    Well pretty much, it is your decision. make your choice on what you want to do.
