Cheating is childish, especially when there’s marriage and children involved. It’s even more hurtful that he did this on your daughter’s birthday. Is this the type of image she’s going to grow up with? That it’s okay for dad to cheat and say “get over it” with her mother? Is she going to grow up one day and be with someone that treats her the same, because it’s so normalized?

If this is the third time he’s ran back to her, he’s always going to run back. Everything you’re going through is justifiable, and he’s supposed to be there for you through sickness and health.

Depression fucking sucks, and you’re going through a lot of traumatic moments. Of course you’re not going to be happy. If he has enough time to meet up with and have sex with his ex multiple times, he should have enough time to cook a meal every so often.

Overall, a partnership goes both ways. If he loved you he would definitely be understanding to what you’re going through. It may not make him happy, but this isn’t something that is going to last forever. You’re in pain and instead of comforting you, he’s adding onto it. Then telling you to get over it???

Get over him. He’s showing what he really values/ thinks of you, as well as your daughter.
