I cheated on my toxic, disloyal, and abusive boyfriend for four days before finally leaving him. I know it’s wrong, but at the time, I felt trapped and didn’t know what else to do. When I left, he got mad — understandably so, I guess. But a month later, on December 8, he texted me asking for forgiveness. He said he wasn’t sure if he should move on or hold onto the past.

But now, it’s February 13, and I’m watching him bounce from one relationship to the next. He’s had six girlfriends in this short time, and part of me can’t help but feel angry. It’s like he’s moving on so easily, while I’m still dealing with the aftermath of everything.

I know I’m better off without him — I was in such a toxic relationship. But I can’t help but feel conflicted about the situation. I know I didn’t do the right thing by cheating, but I also know that he was never going to change. It’s just all a mess, and sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice, even though I know deep down, it was the only choice.
