My partner told me that during a period of time when he left to try things with another woman, about 6 months ago, that he did in fact sleep with her.

He didn’t tell me because he knew I would not come back to him.

(I came back because we have two kids and I was under the impression that he really couldn’t handle that he had uprooted everybody and wanted us back. Also, the family I was staying with was becoming a little stressful)

How do I get over the fact that he lied about sleeping with someone else?

We weren’t together, but it still hurts since he kept it from me when he knew it would affect my decision on trying to work on things with him or not.

Should I get over it since I decided to come back?

Last month he went behind my back and started talking to said woman again, and when I was trying to leave, he wouldn’t let me past him to access the door.

How do I get over him sleeping with someone else and then going behind my back to talk to them again?

I don’t WANT to leave. But the hurt really brings me down some days.

I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.
