I believed him.
He lied.
I’m heartbroken.
Turns out I’m a sap.
But I have learned to not trust him.
This. This is the pattern - they love bomb you and tell you what they did - like it was terrible and they'll never forgive themselves. They off load it so you don't find out later and question it, its a subject that has been "handled". Then you believe you're in safe hands, that he has in fact changed due to your overwhelming connection and love bond.
Then he cheats on you.
This is a sociopathic pattern and its very common. Women are not to blame for trusting cheaters. They're not idiots, they are carefully chosen victims who are then exploited.
