    I am supposed to be getting married in three months but i have just found out my best friend and made of honour has been sleeping with my fiance, it has been going on for months. I am so mad i want to kill both of them, what the hell am i going to do? we have been together for the last 8 years and i thought we were happy but obviously not. I cant imagine going through with the wedding now but how do i call it off without everybody knowing what a cheat heis and what a whore my ex freind is??

    Why would you care if people found out. Take a firm line and do it. Don't let it drag on or it will only hurt you more. Band aid time, count to three and tell them where to go.

    Sorry to hear that happened. There's much, much better our there. Get the only real revenge that matters, have a better life.

    how do i call it off without everybody knowing what a cheat heis and what a whore my ex freind is??

    And what would be the problem with everyone knowing?

    He's an idiot to do this to you 3 months before hand, but I suppose better you find out now. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    TBH I'd rather people knew how horrible your fiance & bestfriend really are. That's just disgusting. I can't imagine how upset/sick you feel *hug*

    Call it off, throw him out, let people know what happened.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭StroppySu


    Oh god, so sorry to hear this happened you.

    How did you find out, are you 100% positive that it's true?

    I'm not sticking up for anyone here, just making sure you are positive before I start the "kick him & her to the kerb" speil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    That's terrible. I can't comprehend how you must now be feeling:(

    For now, break up with him. Nothing is set in stone but in fairness, it sounds terminal to me.

    She is a whore and he is a cheating b*****d. It's the truth. You don't have to broadcast it but there's no point in lying if you must give an explanation...

    You poor thing, to find out he was cheating is bad enough but with your best friend, words cannot express how low the pair of them are.

    Don't be afraid of people finding out, they deserve to be outed, disgusting people. :mad:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    expose both of them for what they really are........cheating bastard and whore of a best friend and kick both there asses out the door.I am sorry to hear this though,at least you found out rather than 5,10 years down the line.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    i feel sick, i found out thursday nite my partner got a text late i thought it was my phone picked it up and it was from my friend saying 'thanks for last night i had a great time' he supposedly had a work thing up the country and my ex friend was supposedly in dublin shopping. i knew straight away they were cheating so i had to confirm it i text her back and said i had a great time too i really cant get enough of you when can we meet for sex again and she texts back and says i am yours anytime you want it..oh god it is just sick i cant function i got up fri morning my partner had already left for work(im off sick at the moment) i changed the locks and have been locked in the house since with my mobile off and phone plugged out. I cant imagine facing anybody, help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    That's not good, OP. You have to confide in someone. You need support, not isolation...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,324 ✭✭✭Oh The Humanity


    Hi There,

    So sorry to hear this, its low behaviour by them both.

    Listen, forget about trying to 'save face' now, unfortunately on top of everything else they have also taken that choice away from you now too.

    Sing it from the rooftops, you have nothing to be ashamed of, they have, so remember that.

    Also, hurtful as it is, more people probably know about 'them' than you realise, so it could be too late to worry about trying to keep it on the low down.

    Keep the chin up and surround yourself with real friends and family right now.

    Sorry and hope you feel better soon.

    Probably best is to ring some other friend that can come over and sit with you.
    You shouldn't be alone now.

    I don't understand: How do you know it's been going on for months if you just saw a text, texted back and got a reply?
    Or are the two "Unregistered" different users?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Do not try to hide this from your friends and family. I've been in this situation and I know you feel humiliated, as well as hurt and betrayed. I was completely honest with anyone who asked me and basically exposed them for the low lifes they were. Everyone who knew us all was completely disgusted. Neither of them have any friends really now as a result. Nobody wants to have anything to do with such people. Do not try to cover it up, you have enough to deal with at the moment without the extra stresses of trying to hide it. Just be honest with people, maintain your dignity and you will be shown to be a decent person while they are shown to be the thoughless, disgusting people they are.
    I know it's hard now, but you will get through it, and you'll realise they both deserve each other, while you deserve so much better.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    I can understand how humilliating this could be for you, I'd hate to think of people talking about how my fiance and best mate did that but I just don't think something this big can be contained, you might as well tell friends/family the truth and get it over with. For all you know they might end up as a couple, best being honest from the start.

    You really have my sympathies, as relationships go this is possibly the most horrible thing that can happen. Scumbags.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Cecilia Ann


    OP, OMG- that is soo horrible and I want to say that I am so sorry that this has happned to you..It happens all the time but that in no way makes it any better for you. If you are sure that it really has happened you CANT go through with it, you really cant.It will be a slow and painful time for a while but you will definitely get over it, believe me...

    You could actually go through with Wedding you know, and when the time comes for him to make his speech or whatever- you could say a few words and then tell everyone what has been going on and show both of them to be the horrible people they really are...

    I know- thats not really an option, why go through all the expense of a wedding etc. Its just something i saw on an email before-it was the groom who exposed his fiance and best friend at the wedding. I can tell you- he wasnt the one with the red face it was them.

    Basically what im trying to say is its not YOU how should be ashamed its them...Does your so-called mate know you know??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    i got up fri morning and i knew what they were doing so i rang my male cousin who is very good friends with my partner. he said he had heard about the two and it had been going on for a few months at least he said he couldnt get invloved but had always decided that if i asked him the question he wouldnt lie. i havent had it out with my partner or ex friend and i dont intend to until i feel like it let them stew.

    You really need to talk to someone close to you for support at this time.

    Also you said you'd changed the locks, do you own the house you and your fiance have, or is it rented/owned jointly?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    no the house is mine my family are very wealthy, my ex partner works in a pub part time while i work my ass off im in sales. I have always bought everything, i bought him a 09 bmw jeep in jan by christ he wont be keeping that the loser.

    OP that is so awful, I'm so sorry. The time will come when you'll be glad you found out, however hard it is now. Whatever about him being cheating scum, it's your friend you should be gunning for IMO, that is an unforgiveable betrayal in every sense. Partners stray and your friends are the ones who are supposed to pick up the pieces, not tear you to pieces. As others have said, I'd be singing it from the rooftops, you have done nothing wrong other than trust two scumbags and I'd feel no shame in telling everyone.
    You've had a lucky escape, and there's a new door opened for you, walk through it and don't look back.
    The very best of luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    Have you spoken to anyone apart from your cousin??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    Reitterating what others are saying - you have nothing to feel guilty about. I do not see anything wrong in telling his family, he may give another reason for the split that could portray you in a bad light?

    You do need family and friends at the moment but ultimatly the best revenge you can have on him and her is getting on with your life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭Redpunto


    Surround yourself with people you trust and love - is there someone who could sort out cancelling the arrangements for the wedding?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭SarahSassy


    He doesnt deserve a discussion. Change the locks on the house and report the jeep as stolen...

    They deserve each other and I would not be shy about letting people, his family included, know what he has been up to....

    Sorry to hear this but you will get over this and better now than 10 years time.

    SS

    PS also clear out any joint bank accounts you have before he gets to them.... HE obviously has no heart so hit him where it hurts... Short sharp and sweet.

    Whilst that may be true, reporting the jeep as stolen to get her ex fiance in trouble with the police if he is caught driving it, is afaik illegal, it would be classed as wasting police time.

    She's perfectly entitled to change the locks as she has done, as it's her house.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 656 ✭✭✭chickenhawk


    Sell the jeep for dirt cheep. Or do something that can embarass him.

    Make sure everyone knows he's a cun7.

    As for your "friend" get all your other friends on your side and blank her.

    Just make them both suffer anyways!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    A few of the replies here come across as being childish and immature

    What they did is wrong, they betrayed your trust and abused your generosity.

    My 2c
    The relationship is obviously over, start calling everyone involved in the wedding(Caterer, venue) etc. Cancel your orders, hopefully you can get some reimbursement.
    Contact family, inform them of the situation.
    Get your next closest friend to stay with you as you are not fit to be on your own.
    If you can book a holiday, somewhere hot, somewhere with nice men... A little bit of attention will do you good, boost your confidence and might help you get over your EX quicker.
    You do not need any explanation, you don't need them to tell you their versions...
    It's not the end of the world, you can survive without them

    It's easier said than done, my heart goes out to you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 129 ✭✭mbren


    The fact that you came on here and asked if you should call it off for fear of showing them cheaters up, tells me that you deserve WAY better than him!!

    Get rid of him and get on with your life.

    Sorry for your troubles!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    To OP, you poor thing you must be numb with shock.
    Hope by now you have told someone close like family member. I found out exH was cheating after 25years. He was a cheat as a newly wed but I kept trying to make it work, ...at least you haven't wasted all more years on him like I did.
    It took me 2days to tell my family,it was as if telling it would make it more real so I avoided it at first.
    OP you will get through this,and T.G. you found out now before you were tied and had kids etc.
    Hope you are ok and can confide in family..hug to you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Board Walker


    oh you poor thing!

    you shouldnt be worried about what people think of them! you gotta make sure its true and end this marrage! you seem like a warm hearted person, he or she clearly dont deserve to be within a mile of your presence

    i rang my mam last nite and she called over. I told her everything, she is disgusted with my ex friend and ex partner. We got through two bottles of wine and made a list of everything we need to cancel. I have cleared our joint accounts and have the jeep back. I told me if he didnt drop it back i would report it as stolen. he had it back within 10 mins. i didnt open the door havent spoken to him and dont intend to i have wasted enough of my time with that loser. i am going to tell all my other friends 2nite, wish me luck. i appreciate all of you replies i feel i can tell ye anything as ye dont know me. thanks xx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭ManOfMystery


    Well done you - first step is the hardest, but at least you are taking steps now to separate yourself from that loser. It sounds to me like he was having his cake and eating it, particularly as you were well enough off to treat him very well. Your friends will support you fully :)

    Very glad to hear that you protected your things and money. I hope with the help of your Mam and others you continue to be strong, I think you are right cutting him dead too. Contact would only make it more difficult.
    A very good start made, stay strong.

    I hope your future is everything you deserve, I am so glad you are shot of that pair of treacherous snakes.

    Op my heart goes out to you! that is any girls worst nightmare! No one expects their fiance to cheat and least of all with their best friend! you can rest in the fact knowing that he is not the only guy out there to be living off his girlfriend and cheating! I met a guy last November and was with him twice - now i found out after the first night that he had a girlfriend and confronted him the second night to which he replied that his girlfriend had left him for Oz- Apparently she was gone for 7 months and was coming back to him, Nice chap was keeping her house warm until she returned (rent free)! i was with him again not knowing the full story but yeah, low and behold going out with her 3 years and felt lonely!! ARE you for Fecking Real - he even cried to me that he loved her! Im sorry now but he didnt love her , anyway sorry point of story is -now she is home - he is living with her in her house rent free - cheating on her - goign to lap dancing clubs and it appears that their relationship is merely one of convenience (for him anyway)!AND WORSE OFF SHE IS NONE THE WISER THE POOR THING! like you she had bought him his favourite sports car- its bad when his best friend is telling my friends that he actually thinks he hates her! Imagine that! So Op my message to you is be glad you found out sooner rather than later what he is like and hit him where is hurts most - The pocket!! 8 years and vegging off you - Im disgusted!!

    There is light at the end of the tunnel and believe me you will get over this! Hold your head up high - you have done no wrong here - it is him and your friend that should be ashamed of themselves!
