He Asked Me To Come Back Even Though There Was Another Woman

I broke up with my boyfriend last year because I realised he was cheating on me. I didn’t have hard evidence, but his actions betrayed him. I confronted him several times, but he kept denying it. Even though I had nothing to pin him to, I just knew he was doing it. So I walked out of his life and decided never to return.

At the time, I was still deeply in love with him, so leaving broke my own heart.

He also didn’t stay away. He continued to call to check on our five-month-old baby, and since I was still in love with him, I enjoyed his company. Eventually, he used this as an opportunity to work his way back into my life.

He asked me to give him another chance. “Don’t you want us to raise our daughter together? We can be a family.”

I was reluctant at first but three weeks ago, I finally agreed to give him a chance.

At first, everything seemed fine—except for one thing: I had no right to touch his phone. The moment he saw me near the phone, he would act jittery. Based on our past, I wasn’t comfortable with how protective he was.

So I took my time and figured out his password. When the opportunity presented itself, I decided to go through it. Oh, there was everything in there. Pictures of him with another woman, their call history, their chats—it was all there.

I took the lady’s contact. I wanted to know more about their relationship and make her aware that the man was mine.

To my surprise, she said, “Oh, I already know everything about you. I know you are back in his house. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m ready to fight for my man.”

Since her mind was made up, I left her alone and focused on him. When I confronted him, he begged me to forgive him. Right in front of me, he called her and asked her to apologise to me. They both claimed nothing was going on between them anymore.

I wanted to leave but he asked me to stay and take care of the child. I agreed. I am doing my best to let go of what happened but this guy has changed his password. He has even gone as far as locking every app on his phone.

He still talks to the lady. According to him, they cannot stop being friends.

Is it advisable to stay with such a man in the name of raising our child together? I know I can take care of the baby alone. I am financially stable. If anything, I am even the one who supports him. Should I just leave him to continue his supposed friendship with the other woman?
