Cheating Partner Advice

Question

I found out while I was 7 months pregnant that my partner was cheating on me. He had another “girlfriend” while we’re together.  It lasted for a year and a half.  She was his ex for 4-5 years? The “ex” insisted to be his sidechick. He gave me a lot of explanations but it doesn’t make sense. I gave him a chance because I want my daughter to have a complete family. Now my baby is almost 8 months and I still can’t forget what he did. Any advice? #advicepls

Hay, mama, thats such a heavy burden to carry especially habang fresh pa ang postpartum phase, nandito kami para sayo. Honestly, a lot of us mums have been in situations like this, and what Ive learned from my circle is na you cant force yourself to move on from something that deep just because you want your daughter to have both parents in the house; the resentment will eat you alive and shell feel it anyway. Siguro it might help to talk to a counselor or therapist (maraming LGUs offer free sessions) para ma-process mo talaga ang betrayal, hindi lang you, pati ang relationship itself needs real work from both of you, at he needs to understand na explaining isnt the same as taking accountability. Your peace of mind matters too, mama, kasi how can you be the mom she needs if youre hurting every day? Whatever you decide, make sure its for you and your daughters wellbeing, hindi lang kasi complete family on paper looks good.
