Relationship Stress / by faithfulWater1444

...See more My boyfriend of 6 years just told me last night that he cheated on me while I was out of town for my birthday visiting family. We are in a very serious and committed relationship, and we coparent his child with his ex together. The worst part is, he not only cheated on me, he cheated on me with a prostitute and I might have been exposed to an STI. This is a complete shocker to me, we have been having issues but he has never done anything like this in our relationship. He has a lot of issues when it comes to cheating in any form, and cheating is his “dealbreaker” despite the fact that he just cheated on me. I am so shocked by this right now I honestly don’t know how to feel, but I do feel really sad and disappointed and disgusted to say the least. We have been to therapy before but stopped because, up until now, he has had no desire for therapy and any outside help. IMO, he has a very addictive personality and I’m scared and worried that he might do this again even though he says (of course) that he never will. I’m ashamed and embarrassed and we were planning to get married and even measure my ring finger soon so this is all a shock to me. I feel like I’m in a dream, watching my life on a television set as if it didn’t even belong to me. I am hurt and angry but still feel for him and see this as a signal for help but idk what to do or how to move forward. What would you do?
