serial infidelity is a deal breaker for me.

Sunday's talk kind of took off and it did not end like I expected. I just wanted to let him know how I had been feeling. Did not expect it to escalate to the point of enforcing my boundaries on transparency and send him packing to the spare room.

I will not initiate or engage in conversation.

If there was an affair, I would only expect him to be hyper vigilant on keeping his tracks clean.

If I was going to confront him with cheating, I would have waited to get hard evidence. Like I said before, I just wanted to let him know how I was feeling lately.

Now at this point, I don't know if I will be able to confirm if there is a new affair. I guess time will tell.
