The question you need to be asking is not “how can this relationship function?”. It’s “Why have I put up with this for so long/at all?”

This guy needed your emotional support when his marriage ended, and you ended up in a relationship with him, and now he’s doing the same thing.

The only way this relationship can continue is if you just give him carte blanche permission to sleep with whoever he wants, and you learn to live with that. Never have unprotected sex with him again (assuming you ever did in the first place anyways).

He’s shown you who he is over and over. Now the only question that remains is what you do with that information. So far you have shown him who you are: someone who tolerates shitty behavior and lets men walk all over them.

Are you going to continue to be that person?
