[00:00:03] Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys.

[00:00:20] Now today's first story comes from I Can't Touch The Ground who says Fiancee announces she's bisexual after a solo trip to a wedding. Betty, 27 female and I, 30 male got engaged in January after dating for a couple of years. Our plan was to get married next year when we had saved enough money for the wedding. Shortly after getting engaged, we moved in together at the end of January. In May, Betty was a bridesmaid for one of her friends. I was unable to attend due to my job.

[00:00:50] I was unable to attend the fact that it was a five-day trip. Betty had a great time reconnecting with some of her old friends, but a couple of weeks after she got back, she became moody and withdrawn. I was relieved when she made an appointment with a therapist since she hadn't opened up to me about what was troubling her. After about five or six sessions, she sat me down one Saturday morning so we could talk. Betty had been raised in a very conservative household and had to suppress her desires until she moved out to go to college. Even then, certain ideas were made to go to college.

[00:01:23] She was introduced to the wife of one of her girlfriends from college and it triggered a lot of repressed desires over the days they all hung out before the wedding. She told me she felt romantic and sexual attraction to women as well as men and realized she was bisexual.

[00:01:38] I told her I was happy she finally felt safe in sharing this with me and it didn't change how I felt about her. It was a very emotional moment.

[00:01:46] She asked me how I felt about her exploring her sexuality now that it was out in the open.

[00:01:51] I said I was open to exploring it with her and possibly having a threesome with another woman to let her have that experience.

[00:01:57] She wanted a one-on-one experience with another woman and felt she couldn't do that with me present.

[00:02:03] I told her that sounded more like an affair and something I wasn't comfortable with.

[00:02:07] I asked her if she wanted to cancel the wedding and maybe separate while she figured out what she wanted to do.

[00:02:12] She was adamant that was not what she wanted and she still was very much in love with me and still wanted to get married but she felt like she had to explore these feelings.

[00:02:20] She was embracing before we settled down together.

[00:02:23] I asked her if she had done anything inappropriate at the wedding and cheated on me.

[00:02:27] I asked if she had someone in mind or had been talking to someone since she came back.

[00:02:32] She admitted to dancing with a girl at the reception and they kissed at the end of the night but nothing else happened.

[00:02:37] But she denied talking to anyone or pre-planning anything.

[00:02:41] She knows this was a lot to throw on my plate all at once and she didn't expect an answer right away.

[00:02:47] She just asked that I keep an open mind and keep talking about it.

[00:02:50] I couldn't promise anything but I agreed to do some research and talked to a workmate that has an open marriage to see how they cope.

[00:02:57] I did warn her if I found out she lied or was doing anything behind my back so there would be no second chances and I would leave.

[00:03:03] My workmate has been super helpful and open about their relationship.

[00:03:08] My brother got me into a support group that has helped me come to terms with our relationship changes.

[00:03:12] I'm burning my way through my second book and sat Betty down Thursday night to check in and talk about moving forward.

[00:03:18] I found us a couple's therapist.

[00:03:21] I gave her the book I had finished and I told her we should postpone the wedding for six months and then decide if that's the path we're still on.

[00:03:28] I was on a roll when she stopped me and asked if I was planning on dating other people like that never occurred to her that I would be dating as well.

[00:03:35] She kind of shut down after that, barely giving one-word answers when I would ask her something.

[00:03:39] I think the longest sentence I got was,

[00:03:42] I just don't know.

[00:03:43] She's been like that for 24 hours now, like she is lost in a fog.

[00:03:48] I'm just bracing myself for the inevitable flood of emotions.

[00:03:51] I would have thought she'd be happy that I was considering opening our relationship.

[00:03:56] Opiades on.

[00:04:14] Opi updated in the same post and has another update shortly after,

[00:04:18] but I'll read the update first because we're going to do some comments at the same time.

[00:04:22] Saturday night, her fog lifted and things got pretty heated.

[00:04:26] She said that the open relationship was my way of punishing her and being vindictive by dating other women.

[00:04:32] She was just asking for some grace to explore her feelings.

[00:04:35] I replied that she showed almost no remorse for cheating on me and instead expected an open-ended hall pass to do so again.

[00:04:42] I told her our friends had told me she asked them not to try and say anything about what happened at the wedding,

[00:04:47] so I'd probably never know the full truth and just had to accept it was worse than she admitted to.

[00:04:53] I asked if she thought it was fair to go have sex with other people while I waited by the door like some lovesick puppy

[00:04:59] who was just expected to wag his tail when she decided to come home and show me some attention.

[00:05:04] It devolved after that and some hurtful things were said by us both.

[00:05:08] I finally gave her three options as she wanted to move forward.

[00:05:11] One, monogamy.

[00:05:12] Expone the wedding and go to couples counseling.

[00:05:14] No experimenting.

[00:05:16] When we get to a good place and then go with the wedding with a prenup to protect me if she changes her mind or if she cheats again.

[00:05:23] Two, open relationship.

[00:05:25] We can both date who we want and she can figure out her sexuality on her own terms.

[00:05:29] In a year or so, we can see if marriage still seems like a good option if we're still together.

[00:05:35] Three, full separation.

[00:05:37] She moves out and we can each be free to live our lives as we see fit.

[00:05:40] If and when she decides she wants monogamy with me, if I haven't moved on then we can try option one.

[00:05:46] But it would be a new beginning, not just picking up where we left off.

[00:05:49] She decided that she needed some space to think things out and is going to stay with friends for a couple of days.

[00:05:55] I told her before she left that if she accidentally cheated while she was gone to not come back except to pick up the rest of her things.

[00:06:03] This morning I got a text from her.

[00:06:05] I'm so sorry.

[00:06:06] She didn't answer when I asked her what she meant and my call went to voicemail.

[00:06:11] I'm not going to reach out to her again and I will wait to let her contact me when she is ready.

[00:06:16] In the first part before the update you mentioned if she did anything behind your back that would be sort of the end of things.

[00:06:21] But yeah, she basically cheated on you.

[00:06:23] She was kissing another woman at a wedding.

[00:06:26] Myself, I certainly wouldn't be able to cope with that at all.

[00:06:29] That would be the deal breaker for me.

[00:06:31] And what she was saying is that she wants to explore her feelings.

[00:06:35] What if she decides, you know, she sleeps with someone else and she prefers that person?

[00:06:39] Is that your relationship gone?

[00:06:41] So she just gets to decide that?

[00:06:43] Nah, not for me thank you.

[00:06:45] But comments with replies to the OP.

[00:06:47] One says, looks like your partner has been a bit self-centered about this.

[00:06:51] Good idea to take your time regarding your engagement.

[00:06:54] The death of exclusivity, even as hypothetical, can be a pretty destabilizing thing for an established mono relationship.

[00:07:01] Keep talking.

[00:07:02] You seem to be handling this very well.

[00:07:05] Somewhat better than her I think.

[00:07:07] OP says, I try to handle this respectfully but it seems fair to her.

[00:07:11] It's an open path for her but not for me.

[00:07:13] I'm expected to support her while she has sex and possibly develops feelings for someone else and just smile and nod.

[00:07:20] And then she got upset when I had to remind her she was the one that cheated.

[00:07:23] I just finished printing out casts to send to everyone we sent the save the date notices to advise them that we're cancelling the wedding.

[00:07:30] Not sure how I am going to respond when they start asking why.

[00:07:34] The cards I'm sending out just have due to new circumstances on them.

[00:07:39] Dringo Johnny says,

[00:07:40] If the person asking is part of the group who withheld information from you, consider telling them the truth.

[00:07:46] That your fiancé cheated on you and your friends colluded to keep it from you.

[00:07:50] Consider telling that friend what you think of them for not having your back at such an important moment.

[00:07:56] OP said, I had that conversation with the friend who confirmed what Betty had told me.

[00:08:00] When I questioned him later, he said,

[00:08:04] He and his wife and one of the other bridesmaids were the only ones that saw them kissing.

[00:08:10] He also told me who the other woman was.

[00:08:12] She lives in a different state.

[00:08:14] So OP comes in to update the post and says,

[00:08:17] Previously, my fiancé announced she was bisexual and made out with a woman at a friend's wedding.

[00:08:22] And shares the link to the previous post.

[00:08:24] Then says,

[00:08:47] On Thursday, we met at the house and talked over dinner.

[00:08:50] We both apologized for getting heated and saying some unfair things to each other.

[00:08:54] After talking to a therapist and having several conversations with her best friend over the last few days,

[00:08:59] she has decided not to explore her bisexual urges.

[00:09:03] The idea of a truly open relationship where I was free to sleep with other people terrified her

[00:09:07] and getting married was more important than chasing the rainbow.

[00:09:10] Her original idea had been just a free pass to see if she was missing something in her life

[00:09:15] and how important it was to her.

[00:09:17] I asked what she was asking for.

[00:09:19] A one-night stand, just dating women or having a full relationship.

[00:09:23] She couldn't tell me exactly what she wanted.

[00:09:26] I said that didn't sound very monogamous to me or very fair.

[00:09:30] She agreed and that's why she was giving up on exploring those feelings.

[00:09:34] Next, she brought up the notes I sent out cancelling our save-the-date notices for our wedding day.

[00:09:39] She said she was getting all kinds of calls about what happened

[00:09:42] and was caught unaware about what they were even talking about at first.

[00:09:46] She was upset I did that without talking to her first.

[00:09:49] I reminded her that she lobbed two grenades in my lap,

[00:09:53] coming out as bisexual and that she cheated on me,

[00:09:56] then left and wouldn't talk with me except for a cryptic I'm-so-sorry text followed by silence.

[00:10:02] While I never said anything other than we're having issues and had to postpone the wedding,

[00:10:07] evidently there was speculation that she had cheated on me.

[00:10:10] She switched gears and said we could still get back on track and get married next spring.

[00:10:15] No, because now when one of us is out of town, my mind will be thinking of you cheating again,

[00:10:20] especially after coming out and wanting to have an affair to explore your sexuality.

[00:10:25] I said maybe after couples therapy we could get back to a good place again,

[00:10:29] but not by the end of the year.

[00:10:30] And it'd be foolish to start planning and making financial commitments

[00:10:34] before we even knew if therapy was going to work.

[00:10:36] Plus, I wanted a prenup to protect everything I brought into the marriage

[00:10:40] as well as my future retirement savings.

[00:10:43] Plus, she would forfeit any equity if we bought a house.

[00:10:47] When she protested, I said if you planned to be faithful and not change your mind later,

[00:10:51] then it would never be a thing, just something to give me some peace of mind.

[00:10:56] It's been an ongoing conversation for the last few days.

[00:10:59] Betty wants to rug-sweep the incident at the wedding and move forward with our wedding.

[00:11:03] Exploring her sexuality is not worth sacrificing our relationship in her opinion.

[00:11:08] For now, we're back together and planning on counseling soon.

[00:11:11] In a post-clarity moment, I realize I rushed to embrace the idea of an open relationship

[00:11:16] to allow Betty the freedom to explore new feelings,

[00:11:19] and I'm not willing now to consider that option.

[00:11:22] I think separation is the better option.

[00:11:25] Breaking up, if you will, till we both decide what direction our future lies,

[00:11:29] and if it's with each other.

[00:11:30] It's not what I want, but I also don't want to spend the next 3-5 years together

[00:11:35] only for her to change her mind or cheat on me one day.

[00:11:38] Opie clarifies on the chasing the rainbow comment,

[00:11:41] and if he has a problem with her sexuality,

[00:11:43] Opie says chasing the rainbow was her analogy, not mine.

[00:11:47] And I didn't have a problem with her sexuality.

[00:11:49] The problem I had was she cheated.

[00:11:51] Granted, she only made out with someone,

[00:11:53] and wanted permission to have sex with someone else.

[00:11:56] Male or female, that is unacceptable in what I thought was our monogamous relationship.

[00:12:00] Being bisexual doesn't give you the right to have sex with someone else

[00:12:03] while you're already in an exclusive relationship.

[00:12:06] It just means you're attracted to twice as many people.

[00:12:09] And I do want to be with her and support her,

[00:12:12] but that doesn't mean I support her dating other people

[00:12:14] to explore her sexuality while in a relationship with me.

[00:12:19] Many people were suggesting to Opie the best scenario for this is just breaking up,

[00:12:23] and Opie says,

[00:13:05] Opie then comes in with another update titled,

[00:13:08] What a crappy week.

[00:13:10] Said counseling started badly.

[00:13:12] Walked into the office and saw a large pride flag on the wall.

[00:13:16] Our therapist was very biased towards my girlfriend's predicament,

[00:13:20] lost right over the cheating,

[00:13:21] and into how I needed to better support Betty's awakening,

[00:13:24] and support her journey to blah blah blah.

[00:13:27] Betty is the one who is confused,

[00:13:29] and I'm not giving her a safe space to explore who she is.

[00:13:32] Nothing about my feelings or needs was addressed.

[00:13:35] To make matters worse,

[00:13:37] when the therapist was piling on me,

[00:13:39] I looked at Betty to stand up or say something positive for me,

[00:13:42] and I got nothing.

[00:13:43] That part hurt me the most,

[00:13:45] and I pretty much shut down for the remainder of the session.

[00:13:48] Towards the end, the therapist did try to engage with me,

[00:13:51] because you could tell she knew she completely lost me.

[00:13:54] On the drive home, Betty tried to talk to me,

[00:13:56] and I gave her three answers I kept repeating to the therapist.

[00:13:59] Sure,

[00:14:00] Nope,

[00:14:01] and maybe.

[00:14:02] This was a therapist her individual therapist recommended us to.

[00:14:06] The next day,

[00:14:07] I got a call from Betty's mom at my work,

[00:14:09] wanting to know why we were postponing the wedding,

[00:14:11] and that her family and friends had already started making plans.

[00:14:15] I told her she needed to take that up with her daughter.

[00:14:18] She kept badgering me until I finally told her

[00:14:20] Betty made out with someone at her friend's wedding,

[00:14:22] and that was why things were on hold.

[00:14:24] And then I hung up on her.

[00:14:26] Less than an hour later,

[00:14:27] I got a call from Betty,

[00:14:28] demanding to know what I told her mom.

[00:14:30] I said,

[00:14:31] you kissed someone at the wedding,

[00:14:32] and we're trying to work through it,

[00:14:34] and that I didn't mention Betty coming out to me.

[00:14:36] I told her she needed to sit her mom down and tell her the whole truth,

[00:14:40] but I'm not going to hold my breath.

[00:14:42] So I get this text from her mom telling me that I need to suck it up and move past this,

[00:14:46] and that I might even be at fault for not going to the wedding with her.

[00:14:50] Huge texts give me what for,

[00:14:52] and trying to tell me what I need to do.

[00:14:54] I showed the text to Betty when she got home from work,

[00:14:56] and said she needed to do something about her mom,

[00:14:59] or I would enlighten her with the full story of all our problems the next time she tried to tear me a new one.

[00:15:04] Betty said she would handle her mom,

[00:15:06] and made me promise to give her some time to tell her mom everything.

[00:15:09] Also this week,

[00:15:10] Betty has gotten very protective of her phone.

[00:15:13] Yeah,

[00:15:13] major red flag.

[00:15:15] I went to charge my phone and unplugged hers to plug mine in,

[00:15:18] and she almost flew across the room to practically snatch her phone out of my hand.

[00:15:21] I was able to sneak a look at her phone later while she was asleep,

[00:15:25] only to find she'd changed her access code,

[00:15:28] something which she hadn't done since we'd been together.

[00:15:31] I went online and looked at our phone bill,

[00:15:33] and there were many lengthy calls to a Colorado area code,

[00:15:37] which I found out is where the girl she kissed was from.

[00:15:40] I am just mentally exhausted at this point,

[00:15:43] the gaslighting,

[00:15:44] lying,

[00:15:44] just feeling like I'm treading water all the time.

[00:15:47] Lately,

[00:15:47] when we've been intimate,

[00:15:48] there is a lack of passion in her that was there before all of this.

[00:15:51] I feel love-bombed without the feeling.

[00:15:54] Feels just hollow words and empty gestures.

[00:15:57] Tomorrow,

[00:15:58] we're going to a cookout at our parents' house.

[00:16:00] I'm going to try and keep my cool and not say anything,

[00:16:03] crossing my fingers.

[00:16:04] But when we get back,

[00:16:05] I'm telling Betty I'm done.

[00:16:07] I'll give her the choice of keeping the apartment or moving out.

[00:16:10] She'd be free to explore and find what truly makes her happy.

[00:16:13] Just won't be me.

[00:16:15] I came clean with my parents and a few friends about this whole mess.

[00:16:18] My tribe is ready to help support me and help with the move when I need them.

[00:16:23] Dad vetoed mum's offer to move back home and said what I really needed was a new puppy.

[00:16:28] Definitely too old to live with my retired parents.

[00:16:30] Feels weirdly peaceful now that I've made my mind up.

[00:16:33] To all of you who told me so,

[00:16:35] you were right.

[00:16:36] Time to move on with my life.

[00:16:37] First commenter said to OP,

[00:16:40] I'd be tempted to leave a review on the therapist somewhere.

[00:16:42] Something short like,

[00:16:43] My fiancé cheated on me at a wedding

[00:16:45] and continues to call the person she cheated with.

[00:16:47] And this therapist told me I need to support my fiancé's exploration of other people

[00:16:51] rather than addressing the betrayal.

[00:16:53] At the very least,

[00:16:54] I'd want to make sure the therapist knew this would be why we wouldn't be coming back.

[00:16:58] Therapists can't improve without knowing they fucked up.

[00:17:01] I guarantee you this therapist fucked up.

[00:17:04] Anyone in your personal life,

[00:17:05] you tell about the infidelity.

[00:17:06] I'd recommend clarifying that it wasn't just a one-time thing,

[00:17:10] that she continued to call and have an emotional affair with the person.

[00:17:13] Sorry that your fiancé is literally actively having an emotional affair right this very moment.

[00:17:18] And the therapist you sent to was the wrong choice.

[00:17:21] I wish you luck.

[00:17:23] OP says,

[00:17:23] I like your review,

[00:17:24] but I'm unsure where I would post it.

[00:17:26] Our therapist definitely had an agenda,

[00:17:28] but if we don't show up for the next session,

[00:17:30] she already knows the reason.

[00:17:31] After browbeating me for most of the sessions,

[00:17:33] she realized I checked out and spent the last 10 to 15 minutes trying to get me to re-engage.

[00:17:38] She tried to shake my hand as I left,

[00:17:40] but I just silently got up and left her office.

[00:17:43] I haven't confronted Betty about the phone calls yet,

[00:17:45] but I plan to ask her about them tonight before I tell her we are done.

[00:17:48] My family and friends,

[00:17:50] who I told yesterday,

[00:17:51] knows about everything,

[00:17:52] including the course.

[00:17:53] But now anyway,

[00:17:54] my stress levels are surprisingly low now,

[00:17:56] but I know what I want to do.

[00:17:58] My sister will be at my house when we get back

[00:18:01] and plans to stay at least a night

[00:18:03] while I tell Betty my decision.

[00:18:05] OP updates again and says,

[00:18:06] Betty and I returned early from a cookout at her parents' house.

[00:18:10] I planned for my sister to be at our house when we got back as a witness,

[00:18:13] but I had to wait a couple of hours for her to show up.

[00:18:16] I got us all in the living room and told Betty I couldn't do it anymore

[00:18:19] and was throwing in the towel.

[00:18:20] I said I had lost all trust in her and couldn't see a way forward

[00:18:24] and that the best choice was just to go our separate ways.

[00:18:27] Betty couldn't understand what I was saying

[00:18:29] and that she had been honest

[00:18:30] since her confession about what happened at the wedding.

[00:18:33] I asked if she had been in contact with a girl she kissed at the wedding

[00:18:36] and she denied it.

[00:18:37] I asked to see her phone

[00:18:38] and she refused saying it would violate her privacy

[00:18:40] and the privacy of the people she had talked to.

[00:18:43] Fine.

[00:18:44] So who did you call with a 720 area code

[00:18:46] and maybe I should call and see who answers.

[00:18:48] It doesn't really matter because it proves my point.

[00:18:51] I gave her a choice of moving out or staying

[00:18:53] and I would move out.

[00:18:55] I also said I would give her what she had contributed

[00:18:57] to our savings account for the wedding.

[00:18:59] She tried to get my sister to leave or get me alone to talk,

[00:19:02] but I told her I had been advised to have a witness present just in case.

[00:19:06] She went from crying to being angry.

[00:19:08] And after an hour and a half,

[00:19:10] she finally had a calm conversation about everything.

[00:19:12] We talked until almost midnight.

[00:19:14] This morning, Betty decided to move back to her parents temporarily

[00:19:17] and the three of us packed up her things.

[00:19:20] While we waited for her dad and brother to come get her things,

[00:19:22] she tried to get me to go to a different counselor

[00:19:24] and give therapy another chance.

[00:19:26] But I said it was just a waste of time.

[00:19:28] I could never trust her again

[00:19:29] and that was no way to live.

[00:19:32] Not much of an ending.

[00:19:33] Commenter says to OP,

[00:19:34] bloody hell.

[00:19:35] It's so hard to believe that your wife continued to lie to you to the very end.

[00:19:39] Can I ask,

[00:19:40] that once she calmed down and talked to almost midnight,

[00:19:43] did she ultimately tell you the truth

[00:19:44] and confess everything she'd been doing since that kiss?

[00:19:47] If so,

[00:19:48] how on earth did she try to justify to you all the lies she's been telling you?

[00:19:52] Or at least tell you why she lied to you all this time?

[00:19:55] OP says girlfriend,

[00:19:56] not wife.

[00:19:57] She never did come completely clean.

[00:19:59] I think she is holding on hope that I will change my mind.

[00:20:02] She is confused and conflicted.

[00:20:04] If she told me the truth,

[00:20:05] then I think she is afraid I would leave her for sure.

[00:20:08] Her words were,

[00:20:09] I only hid things to protect your feelings.

[00:20:12] OK Capital says to OP,

[00:20:14] have you spoke to her dad and brother or friends that covered for her

[00:20:17] to see what she's been telling them

[00:20:18] and what they think of everything?

[00:20:20] I'd hate for her to paint you like the bad guy

[00:20:22] and claim this is all because of the kiss

[00:20:24] and not because of everything else.

[00:20:26] OP says,

[00:20:27] I did not talk with her brother or her dad when they came over.

[00:20:30] The friends that I've covered for her

[00:20:31] know almost everything from my point of view.

[00:20:34] Betty hasn't talked much with them since the wedding.

[00:20:36] The husband was especially upset

[00:20:38] that she had remained in touch with the woman she kissed

[00:20:41] and his wife had been consoling

[00:20:42] saying it was lucky I found out now rather than later.

[00:20:46] OP on trying to save the relationship

[00:20:49] OP says,

[00:20:50] at first I thought it was just a speed bump

[00:20:52] and something we could get past

[00:20:53] but it became a sinkhole that just got deeper and deeper.

[00:20:56] I believe her first therapist got her started down the wrong path

[00:21:00] but in the end just became selfish and self-absorbed

[00:21:02] which really turned me off.

[00:21:04] It kills me to think she threw away what we had

[00:21:06] and all the plans we had made.

[00:21:08] It was like she became a completely different person

[00:21:10] in such a short time.

[00:21:13] OP on his relationship with her parents

[00:21:15] and changing the locks and the friends group.

[00:21:17] OP said I had a great relationship with her family.

[00:21:20] I went south with her mum when I postponed the wedding.

[00:21:23] Her mum was all wrapped up in planning the wedding

[00:21:25] and was almost too involved.

[00:21:27] So when I pulled the plug,

[00:21:28] she took it hard,

[00:21:29] almost personally.

[00:21:31] I got everything changed but the locks,

[00:21:33] waiting on the landlord for that.

[00:21:34] Definitely culling some friends after this.

[00:21:37] Most of my co-group have been pretty solid

[00:21:39] through all the drama.

[00:21:40] More on cutting back on the friend group.

[00:21:42] OP says no, not completely.

[00:21:44] They're part of a larger friend group.

[00:21:46] I keep my distance but try to remain polite.

[00:21:48] The rest of the friend group knows

[00:21:50] kept the secret from me

[00:21:51] and they've gotten some grief over it.

[00:21:53] They both have been remorseful

[00:21:54] and have supported me as things have played out.

[00:21:58] The wife was friends with Betty

[00:21:59] and still talks with her quite a bit.

[00:22:01] The husband and I were really close

[00:22:03] but I don't engage with him much anymore

[00:22:04] unless it's in the group setting.

[00:22:07] And the last comment from OP that says

[00:22:09] I dropped the box for some things of hers we missed

[00:22:11] and some of her mail at her workday.

[00:22:13] She wanted to talk and possibly meet for dinner to talk

[00:22:16] but I told her we just need to move on and left.

[00:22:19] I've blocked her on everything

[00:22:20] and just want to put everything behind me.

[00:22:23] Now OP finished their last update

[00:22:25] with just saying that it's not much of an ending

[00:22:28] but it is really.

[00:22:30] I felt very much like yourself

[00:22:31] that the trust is broken.

[00:22:34] How do you move on from this?

[00:22:35] Etc, etc.

[00:22:36] And I was very much behind you on that.

[00:22:39] And at the beginning

[00:22:40] OP seemed very chill about the whole thing

[00:22:43] and very understanding about the whole thing

[00:22:44] which you know

[00:22:45] he's better than me for that.

[00:22:46] I gotta be honest.

[00:22:47] From the very beginning

[00:22:48] she admitted to kissing another woman

[00:22:50] whilst at her wedding.

[00:22:52] But now I'm gonna turn this one to you guys.

[00:22:55] What do you guys make of this situation?

[00:22:57] Let us know your thoughts down

[00:22:59] in the comments below.

[00:23:01] Just a huge thank you

[00:23:03] from the bottom of my heart

[00:23:09] and hopefully I'll see you in the next one.
