On the eve of Christmas, my boyfriend’s side chick took his phone and sent me videos and photos of them together. They were followed by messages that sounded like threats.

She claimed that I was not as important to him as she was to him. “I know he texts you every morning to tell you his plans for the day and every night to give you updates. Well, you should know that I am the one he spends his nights and mornings with.”

This was a painful revelation, considering that we are in a long-distance relationship. If I wasn’t there with him and she was, then it meant he had moved on without telling me.

We’ve been together for over a year and four months. I have really invested a lot in the relationship. I was a supportive, loving, caring, and loyal girlfriend. There was nothing I wouldn’t do for him. So where did I go wrong?

I believed in us so much that I even introduced him to my family. I thought he was “the one”, you know. I became even more sure of him when he introduced me to his siblings and friends.

I truly thought we were building something special together. Only to receive those messages from his other girlfriend. It shattered my world completely.


When I confronted him he didn’t lie. Yes, it’s true,” he confessed, “I have been with her for three months now.” I feel lost and devastated.

I don’t even know how to start processing all this. My heart feels so heavy, and it’s like I can’t breathe properly. The pain of realizing I was betrayed by someone I trusted so deeply is overwhelming.

Please, I need advice. Maybe some comfort too. I feel like I’m losing my mind.
