"He has blocked her on all social media etc too. i believe him. he even said he would talk to a priest who has been helping me, although he hasn't."
He's lying to you. Tell him that in order for the two of you to heal again, you need to feel safe with him. Tell him that safety is important to you and that the first stop is TRUST. Tell him that you would like a transparency plan whereby you can check his messages and emails at any time.
He has to EARN your trust back.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
