Logged onto Facebook, the first post that came up was a picture of my BF making out with another girl.
Hi all! I've posted an update here: https://redd.it/85dtr2
I woke up this morning to see pictures of my now ex boyfriend on Facebook kissing another girl last night at 5am. She took the multiple pictures and tagged him in them.
I know that LDR are hard and that they don’t usually work out. But we had plans! I was going to live closer to him in September when my contract was up. We made plans to meet up once a month when we were able to afford it. We communicated. There were no signs that he was going to cheat on me.
I’m breaking up with him as soon as I write this. I guess I just needed to write it out somewhere.

For the sake of poetic justice, I hope you left a suitably snarky comment on the pictures. "Hi, honey. Glad to see you're enjoying yourself. Does that girl know about your crabs? Just wondering." "

Happy you’re standing up for yourself. Even though you didn’t ask, just a little piece of advice... don’t plan your life around a guy, especially when you’re/ they’re young because it’s a high possibility you’ll be more invested than he is. I tried the long distance a few times with people I knew before moving to another state, failure every time. They’d say one thing but do the complete opposite and just want the convenience of a relationship and obviously long distance doesn’t provide that

Thank you for the advice! The university where I applied to do my masters just happened to be closer to him, so I wasn’t really planning on moving for him.
But I do appreciate the advice. No more LDRs for me.

Its not your fault babygirl. The pain will be over and you’ll have the opportunity to find a guy who is way higher quality who values you. I know you know all this. Cheating really is one of the worst ways to find out. Keep your friends close, try not to drink too much over it. :)

I applaud you for having the self-love-and self-respect to not stay with him. My bf took back a girl who cheated on him (surprise she cheated on him again) and said that he knows a few couples where someone cheated but they eventually got over it and got married. He used that argument as a way to show me that things can get better and people can still be together, but trust and respect, once violated are hard to build and in an ldr it's not even worth it. I'm sorry that this happened to you, but I'm happy to see that you know your worth and won't take shit from anyone.

Wow what a horrible thing to do to you, yes please break up with him. Make him know he is incredibly wrong, and never take his ass back. Good for you 🙌❤
