I followed my boyfriend to an event and had to wait for him outside. While seated and waiting, a car stopped right next to where I was sitting. He walked to me, and we started talking. While exchanging contacts with him, my boyfriend came out.

He watched as the man drove away and asked what the man wanted. I told him, “He asked my name and asked for my number. He said he’ll call later so we can talk.”

He said, “It looks like he has money. You don’t have to lose guard at all.”

I was shocked, but I thought he was joking—until he kept asking if the man had called. So when the man called, I told him. When the man expressed interest in me, I also told him. He said, “Now let’s get money from him.”

He took my phone and started chatting with the man. I was reading it, and the fact that he was acting lovey-dovey with the man worried me. I snatched my phone from him and asked him not to go in that direction again.

He got angry and started calling me selfish. “I know what you want to do. You want to date him on the side and get all the money, right?”

I screamed, “What are you saying?” He retorted, “If you didn’t like him, then why did you give him your number? If I didn’t see you, would you have told me about it?”

To be honest, I was so angry I told him to go and use his sister’s phone to do that, not my phone. We didn’t talk for days. I had seen how low he thought of me and was thinking of leaving the relationship.

While he was not talking to me, I was busy talking to the man. My boyfriend had already made up his mind about the situation and was running with it, thinking I loved him. The man sent me money even when I hadn’t asked him to. Twice he did that and asked me to meet him, and I agreed. I sent screenshots to my boyfriend, including the part where he mentioned the amount he sent me.

We hadn’t spoken for over a week, but all he said was, “Where is my share? You can go and do whatever you want to do with him, but send me my share.”

This is a guy who doesn’t give me anything. Sometimes when we go out, I have to pay for the fare and even for what we eat. I was dating him because I loved him, but this has made me realize he didn’t value me at all, and it hurts so badly.

When I told him the relationship was over, he laughed and asked, “Did we have a relationship? Do you think I would date a woman who gives her number to another man just because I wasn’t around?”

What Nobody Tells You About Divorce

I’m still hurt. I thought he loved me. I thought we had something that was growing. How can I get over the way I’m feeling? Sometimes I want to call him and insult him, but to what end?
