WWYD? (Did i make the right choice? 🫠)

You meet a perfect gentleman, lsts call him M (woman/person, whatever fits the narrative for you. Theyre youre cowker that you were friends with but not super close) after a 3 year long relationship full of lies, cheating, gaslighting, and both mental and emotional abuse. You guys fall in love hard and are together for 2 years, living together, planning marriage and kids. You have two super close friends at work, G and B. Youre all apart of a friend group thats like family.
During the first year, a day after G slept over, she texts you screenshots of M telling her how he thought she was attractive and liked seeing her and you together. (Your pansexual and G is bi but you're just good friends) G completely shut him down and you confront him. Ultimately you decide to forgive him and nothing likw that ever happens again. Until the second year.
You and M have had a huge fight and youre venting to G and B. The conversation leds to a topic that promts B to let you know about a situation that happend with her and M. (For context, before you and M got together, he and B had a little flirtatious back and forth that never amounted to anything. Everyone knew this and it was never an issue. They actually were good friends after that and she fell in love with someone) A few months back, on a night when the whole gang was together and drinking, M was in B's ear talking about how they used to flirt and said "If it wasnt her (You), it would have been you (B))"
B shut him down but was afraid to say anything about it to you because she could see how happy you were. He swears that the conversation was misinterpreted. That everything said was just talking about the past, reminiscing.

You decide to end the relationship.

Now ultimately, in both situations, nothing actually happened (cheating) and you love this man. Hes been nothing but good to you. He has his flaws but you know he loves you more than anything....But he also has hit on youre closest friends behind your back while youre both together.

What would you have done?

You probably are making a mistake. Alcohol leads to a lot of bad decisions. Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes decisions made from anger destroy good things. Forgiveness is the key. I have a personality where I can talk to anybody.
One time on vacation we had just crossed from Arkansas into Mississippi and I stopped for fuel. I went in to pay and the beautiful lady that worked there greeted me and that Wonderful southern accent I hadn't heard in years came rolling out.
We probably talked for 10 maybe 15 minutes. And I was in trouble with my wife when I got back in the car. I did nothing wrong. But she didn't see it that way.
Jesus said that we are to forgive 70×7. And when your wife says I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, and is not just crying but sobbing for an affair that happened 30 years before, take her in your arms and hold her tight and tell her you love her. Almost thirty years later you will be glad you did.

I would've left him the first time he hit on my friend. The only reason nothing happened between him and your friends was that they rejected him. It's not that he didn't cheat,it's that the people he wanted to cheat with weren't interested in him. He didn't choose to remain faithful, he was denied access. If he's willing to hit on your friends what would keep him from hitting on strangers? And what would/has happened if those strangers were receptive.

You did the right thing and I may not know you but I am proud of you for walking away. The person you believe him to be is also the person he's proven himself to be, someone who is willing to and desires to be unfaithful. You are very blessed to have those two women as friends.
@PinkMoon I really appreciate this. Its been eating me up for a few months now because I didnt know if i overreacted. Ive told myself 'Its not like he slept with them" But it hurt iust the same and he was someone I thought would never hurt me.

His behavior says he doesn’t love you more than anything though, not when he did and said things like that that would compromise your relationship.

I go by actions, not words. If they don’t line up then I check out. Plain and simple.

I wouldn't have gotten into a relationship in the first place. I don't date anyone in the same workplace as me.
@HootyTheNightOwl Thats fair. I had never dated someone from work before. Sucks that it also happened to go that way.

@SillyPrincess I didn't even have a relationship with anyone at work and I was harassed to the point where I left after a week to take the heat off the poor guy I was accused of having a crush on.

I did go on to have a relationship with him almost a year later... but that was after I left there.

Every time I hear stories like this I just think it's hilarious how much the dude gets rejected 😂 nobody wants to be with a guy who not only tries to cheat on you.. but fails at it miserably because nobody else wants him 😭 That's embarrassing

He’s obviously a total horn dog and ditching him is in your best interest 🙄

@Baremine obviously he was taking every opportunity to be disloyal to her the other parties just weren't interested and therefore didn't indulge him.. she doesn't need to be his doormat
@YoMomma "Horndog" doesnt really describe him. He actually doesnt get a lot play. Hes very sweet and caring man. Not saying that means hes not capable of being unfaithful.
@Baremine Nothing confusing about bisexuality. You like men and women. How is that complicated? No one gets hurt unless somwone is deliberately being hurtful.
