How do I even deal with this. I thought my partner would never cheat on me. Specially just after having our son. The son I’ve always wanted. My situation is soo complicated too. The person he cheated with is his ex. They share a child together also. It feels soo messy

Hello @Soul08
Welcome to the forums, I have not yet met you before so it is nice to meet you.
I am sorry to hear about your experiences of your partner cheating on you, I can't imagine how tough things would be for you currently, I can see how it would all feel like a bit much and messy.
You asked how do you deal with this? First of all, it is helpful that you have come to the forums for extra support right now that can't be easy to have done, but that is really important you have support during this time. I am wondering do you have any other supports in place? Such as other family, friends or a counsellor to seek some further support from @Soul08?
I also just wanted to flag that this is an extremely difficult situation for you @Soul08 and you need to do what is right for you and your mental health right now, thank you for offering some support here @Former-Member however bear in mind that leaving someone can be very difficult for many people in serious relationships and other options may need to be looked into for now and what works for @Soul08.
Keep reaching out here @Soul08
