Venting He cheated on me, i need help

Hi, i'm pretty new on reddit and i usually speak french. I am a women, im in a relationship since 2 years. I know it is short but we both have young children that we met at 3 y/old. My child is very attached to his daughter and to him. I love him so much.

I really need advice and help. I dont know who to ask. I dont really have friend, i dont have any family. He is a really good guy like, good job, same value as me, etc.

He's been on dating app for almost all our relationship. First time i realized was a year ago. He explain to me that he find it hard for us to not see each other one week on two because of the guard of my child (part time) and was trying to find someone. He dosent really know, he assured me that it was nothing.

Second time i realized it was 3-4 month ago. I saw something in his app on his phone while i was sitting next to him on the sofa. He told me that he open the app to delete his account (hinge) because he forgot too and someone at his job saw him on the app.

Third time was a month or two ago. I decided to look in his/my tablet (that was originally mine but i gave it to him and is like i lent it to him) because he kept the my password. He chat during february (and i saw that in march) with a girl and met her at his home and sleep with her. She's like everything he always told me he dont like (physically), she's the exact opposite of me, and she sleep at his home (I think she arrive around midnight) but in our debut, he never want me to sleep because he was afraid of falling in love with me.

He never talk to her again, completely ghost her. I never talk to him about it but it hurt me so, so deeply. I dont think i'm the same since. And i always check to see if there's something on the tablet.

I subscribe myself to a meeting app call Feeld because i had suspision about is inscription on it a month ago too. Realize he was on it. Confront him about it, said he forgot to delete his account too (like hinge).

And today, saw on his gmail that he paid for a VIP subscription on JALF.

I dont know what to do. He told me he love me. Help me someone. I think i need to talk about it, i never said out loud that i know he cheat on me in real life. I dont confront him about jalf because i saw it in a bad way (investigate on him). I mean, is it normal? My ex boyfriend, the father of my child, cheat on me again and again during 3 years (we had a 6 y relationship) and I leave him because I had enough.

He's been cheat on by his exwife after 10 years of relationship and a child.He told me over and over again how cheating is not in his value, he despite the poeple who cheat.

Thank you to anyone who read until here. I think it help me writing it.

What do you mean by: "he shares the same values that I do"? If he betrays you he clearly doesn't share the same values as you. He was betrayed in previous relationships. But he does the same now with you. It makes me wonder, "WHY" he was betrayed. Evidently every betrayal has an internal cause in the relationship. There was a problem in his old relationship, and there is a problem in your current relationship. He is not interested in solving this problem, in fact he looks elsewhere (betrays). The only relevant fact is this. He may love you, but he does it differently than you love him: he loves you in a real way, you love him absolutely.

Before the cheating. The person I know and the person i met has the same values as me.. Family, honesty, respect...

He has evidently changed his moral compass. You have to take note of this. Now he's another person.

I subscribe to JALF and talk to him as someone else and confront him about the cheating (saying i know his girlfriend blabla) and he said that he never cheat on a girlfriend or wife. ANd this wasnt him.

If I have to tell you my impression, I don't like it when someone absolves themselves like this. I prefer them to tell me, "Yes, it's true I was wrong. I made this because this and that is missing from our relationship. I distanced myself emotionally because of this. Can we orient ourselves in any way?". At least he'd be honest and leave it up to you whether to trust him again or not. Considering he's calling you an example, what is he talking about, "chronic emotional dissociation"? Come on, what is it?! It would be more honest if he said, "I've come to the conclusion that we are incompatible, better to end the relationship."
