I only put overreacting for the sake of my post landing. Would you say this counts as cheating and am I underreacting?
Next month will be our 4 year anniversary. I’m feeling so lost and sad right now to say the least.
My boyfriend recently went to Nashville with his childhood friends. I trusted him completely, even though one friend was single and brought condoms. Upon returning, I found a condom in his pocket and discovered 67 deleted messages between him and his single friend. He claims they were sent while drunk and meant nothing.
