With the past cheating he said that he wasn’t in a relationship with her anymore and that they were living together and “co-parenting” (as he called it) for the sake of the kid. He said that they hadn’t been intimate in close to a year and he knew she was out fooling around so he did it too. He has also in the past said to me “I won’t cheat on you as long as you don’t do it to me”, which sounds like it is a revenge thing.
When we fight they’re usually pretty heated arguments that end quickly (so if they happen at night, they’re usually resolved by the next morning) and there haven’t really been instances when they’ve lasted longer than a day.
He’s also made comments that he wouldn’t bring me into his child’s life if he was just going to hurt me and cheat on me Bc that would impact that child (to have my around and then not).
I love him and things for the most part with us are pretty good, but like I said I’ve been hurt by this in the past and don’t want to have it happen again.
