Me and my S.O have been together for almost 2 years and been living together with his brother for a year. He had a habit of habitually lying about little things and porn. About 4 weeks ago I was checking his email out of boredom and noticed he had some Snapchat notifications despite ‘never having it’. Off a whim I downloaded it on his phone (he gave me his password) and I found many many DM’s with girls though the messages were gone. I confronted him and called him out but gave him the condition that we could stay together if there is complete transparency and he goes to therapy. Things had been rough and one night he came to me and said he thinks he lies because his ADHD and that he would tell me after he lies immediately from now on. I was a little under the influence but the next morning I called him out with many many texts telling him how he was a lying manipulator and how he had to take accountability. He then broke up with me over text and said he ruined the relationship. It took a week for him to talk to me after being ghosted both on the phone and in person and he said that he wasn’t ready and that I deserved better to sum things up. He also mentioned he was scared to hurt me. Yesterday, a week after us not speaking (I still live with him but move out in a week) we spoke and he ended up laying on my the bed. I was yapping about some spiritual practices I had picked up and and he kissed me. We cuddled and that’s when he ended up telling me EVERYTHING. He admitted to cheating around the 3rd month of us dating when we were doing long distance (we met in residential trade school at 17 and 18 and I graduated before him) with the school slut after I left, he admitted to a crippling porn addiction, he admitted to consistently sexting a girl online and stopping 2 days before I found the Snapchat, and he admitted that the random video of him masturbating I found on his phone one day was a video he sent to a sext buddy despite him lying when I suspected him. He also said that his brother would leave the house if he got back with me and that also influenced him – so I still have to move out soon. I forgave him and said that it must’ve hurt so much holding all of that in and I told him that I wish he had told me instead of bottling all of those things inside and that those feelings are normal. I said I would always be here for him and he said he was shocked I loved him unconditionally and that he didn’t understand me. We ended up exchanging I love you’s and had sex. We got back together and now that a day has passed I feel lost. I don’t know if I did the right thing or if I will regret this and I’m scared to talk to him about this. Am I looking at this situation from an irrational point of view? If anyone has advice or can speak from experience I would greatly appreciate it.
