TLDR:<br>7 years together. Yesterday I find out my boyfriend of 7 years cheated and most likely got my best friend pregnant. I'm devastated and don't know what to do.<br><br>My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years. We are still in love and in a happy relationship. Or so I thought. My best friend and I have known each other our whole lives. We went to the same school, and our families are friends. We get along great and have never had a single disagreement or issue in the past. Until now.<br><br>Yesterday I found out that my boyfriend of 7 years cheated on me. I found a picture on his phone of him and my best friend at a place a 30 minute drive away from our house. It was taken at 11:39PM the night before. At 12:11AM I found a text message from my best friend to my boyfriend saying "I can't believe he was so cute to watch him try". I found out that my best friend and my boyfriend have been having secret meet ups at this place since December. I found out that my best friend is 4 months pregnant, and that my boyfriend is the father. <br><br>The most shocking thing I found out is that my best friend and my boyfriend know that the baby is mine. Apparently they both loved me at the same level and decided to see who could win my heart first. They both believed that after 7 years I would eventually propose to the right person, and that they could work things out with me in the end. They have been planning and working together on this for a very long time, and that's why my boyfriend was against the idea of us having children of our own. They didn't want to risk anything that could cause them to grow closer together as a couple.<br><br>My boyfriend said that as long as I don't find out, we can continue to be a couple, and that I can continue to be in "baby's life". But if I find out, then he will leave me for my best friend, and that it is his last and final offer.<br><br>I'm heart broken, and so lost. I have no idea what to do, or how to tell anyone what's going on.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>UPDATE:<br><br>Hi. My boyfriend and I have broken up. My best friend is no longer my best friend. And the father of my boyfriend's baby is no longer a part of my life. <br><br>The last few days have been extremely overwhelming, and I barely had time to respond to any of the comments and messages you all sent. <br><br>I am sorry if I didn't respond to you, it wasn't because I didn't appreciate your support and love. It was because my mind was all over the place, and every decision I made was met with a wave of counter decisions. <br><br>When I found out about my cheating boyfriend and his best friend, I was absolutely devastated. I didn't know what to do, where to go, or who to call. I was so lost that I didn't know if I should eat or sleep. All I wanted to do was cry. And that's all my boyfriend let me do. He didn't try to stop me or tell me there was a better way to deal with my feelings. He just held me until I stopped crying.<br><br>During my cries, I told my boyfriend about how I had found out about his affair. When I finished, he started crying. At first I didn't understand why he was crying. Was it because he was sorry for what he did? Because he was mad at his friend? It wasn't until he told me that I found out that his friend is 4 months pregnant that I realized his friend had gotten pregnant when we took a trip to visit our family in Canada. My boyfriend explained that he was sorry for what he did, that he didn't mean to hurt me, and that he loves me. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just kept crying.<br><br>After my crying spell, my boyfriend suggested we tell our families what had happened, and for him to offer his friend no contact order so that we can all be happy. When I asked him what he meant by "all of us being happy", my boyfriend explained that he wants us to be a couple again. I told him that wouldn't be possible, so I asked him what he thought I should do. My boyfriend said that if I stayed with him, I would have to forgive him, and I would have to allow his friend to continue living in his basement. If I didn't forgive him and allow his friend to continue living in his basement, then he would have to leave me.<br><br>I told my boyfriend that I didn't want him to leave me, so he suggested his first suggestion. I told him I wouldn't forgive him, so I told him I would have to tell my family what he did, and I would have to kick his friend out of the house we share.<br><br>My boyfriend wasn't happy with that, but he agree to do it. However, he is still upset with his friend for not telling him that she was pregnant when we visited his family in Canada, so he is taking some time to himself to cool down before he tells his family and kicks his friend out of our home. <br><br>I have sent pictures of what I found to my family, and my sisters have gone to pick up my best friend. My family and I will be discussing what to do next as a family, and I will no longer be with my boyfriend until we can all figure out what to do as a family. <br><br>Again, thank you for all your support.
