I was in a relationship for 10 years, and he ended up marrying another girl due to family pressure. We both knew we wouldn’t get married, so I have no regrets about my ex. After that, I tried dating three different guys with the intention of marrying, but none of them were serious. None of the relationships lasted more than 2 to 3 weeks.
Then I met my manager at the office. He’s married but constantly expressed dissatisfaction with his marriage. We became close friends, and eventually, he started flirting with me. I liked him too, but because of his marital status, I didn’t show interest. One day, he asked me out, and I agreed mainly to understand his intentions.
He told me he had filed for a mutual divorce that would be finalized in 2 to 3 months. He said he liked me and wanted to date for six months before committing to marriage. He fit all my criteria for a life partner, so I agreed. He assured me that his wife didn’t live with him anymore and they weren’t in contact. I trusted him without verifying.
The first three months were amazing. He showered me with love, care, attention, and affection until we got physical. After that, his behavior changed. He became busy with work and kept giving excuses about stress at home due to the divorce. But something didn’t sit right. One day, I asked to see his phone, and he refused harshly.
That raised my suspicions, and I began to feel that he was hiding something. I eventually filed a complaint with the women’s cell and sent him screenshots of our chats. He panicked and started manipulating me, threatening me to withdraw the complaint.
Finally, he confessed: his wife was still living with him, and she was pregnant. He had fabricated everything. His wife, unaware of what was going on, even invited me to meet her. When we all met, the truth came out. She was pregnant when we started dating, and now he’s a father. I was shattered. He begged for forgiveness, but I didn’t know what to do.
His wife also begged me to withdraw the complaint for the sake of their child’s future. But even if she decides to leave him, I will never accept someone who cheated on his wife with me. Working in the same office as him is extremely difficult, but I refuse to leave because of his actions. He should face the consequences.
My seniors changed my team, and the company is trying to keep the matter private to protect their reputation. What should I do in this situation? I promised his wife I would not take legal action against him.
Options:
