TIFU… or should I say over the course of the last year I’ve FU by being so completely blind at what was going on. I basically had met my ex and we began a long distance relationship that was working pretty well (I thought) due to the fact that my job allows me to freely travel for little to no cost. It is also a benefit because I can have a travel companion for virtually nothing as well. I met someone and fell in love. Head over heels. He wanted to go to places like Cuba, New York, etc and I made it happen as soon as I could. I consider experiences a love language. AND I WAS IN LOVE!
Anyway, a couple months ago the relationship was on a decline. Our work schedules weren’t aligning and it made it difficult to see each other. In turn , this made any kind of arguments or disagreements worse because we couldn't be together to fully discuss and hash things out face to face. One day he called me to ask for a break and I simply replied with a "yeah, it could be a break for good." I don't really believe breaks are beneficial. For me, you either stick it out and work on the issues or leave. Although my heart was ripped to shreds, it was mostly an amicable break.
I told him we could stay friends and if he needed help with traveling my benefits still have him tacked on so there is no use in wasting them. Here is where i FU… i figured he'd use the benefits to see his friends that are stateside (he lives in the Caribbean) or visit his family or something along those lines. Nope, after ignoring me for a while he popped up out of nowhere and asked for me to send him to Barcelona. This was obviously a big ask but virtually no cost to me, and I stupidly figured this was an olive branch to us remaining friends/part of each others lives. Maybe he was going through something and needed some soul searching and a reset.
After he comes back from vacation it is his birthday and he starts posting online pictures of him and his friends over the last year. This is how I found out he had been dating someone else during the time we were together. Even better, he had gone to Barcelona with this person and had a beautiful dream of a vacation. Unknowingly, I sent my ex that i was still in love with on a romantic vacation with someone he had been cheating on me with over the course of our relationship! OUCH!
TL;DR I sent my ex on a romantic vacation to Barcelona with a girl he'd been cheating on me with throughout our relationship
