After fighting to fix our relationship, I realise I want out

A COUPLE of years into our relationship, my boyfriend did some stuff that really upset me.

- 

Basically, he got too close to another girl and if I hadn't found out I'm certain they'd have had a full-blown affair.

They didn't have sex, but there was a lot of heavy flirting and meeting up on their own for drinks. I have no doubt it would have turned physical, given what they were messaging each other.

I was so hurt and thought about leaving him, but I was also in love, so I gave him another chance. It wasn't easy to move on from it, but we were doing OK until recently.

A couple of weeks ago, he went away with work for several days, which was triggering for me, as the girl he got close to is a former colleague and they used work as a reason to meet up.
