I slept with my cheating ex who was in a relationship.
I've known my ex (28M)for 8 years. We were friends for 4 years and in a relationship for another 4 years, in which he cheated on me multiple times. 2 years had passed since we broke up, and just recently, he asked to hang out (this was during the day). We talked about our lives and joked around like we did when we were friends and then he asked me if i wanted to have sex. I told him I didn't because i knew he was talking to someone and they could be possibly dating, and I know for a fact that the guy is a hoe. I asked if he was dating anyone, and he said no, hes just talking to someone, and it wasn't official. I had a feeling he was lying because he always lies to me about other women. Anyway he left and went home unsatisfied.
That night, he messages me saying how he would satisfy me in bed. I know how good he is in bed, so I stupidly agree. I agreed because a part of me wanted to ruin him. In my mind, he's a lying Peter pan who will never grow up from being a hoe. He didn't deserve to be in a relationship with anyone, so I thought I'd gain the benefits of the good sex and be able to expose his lies.
I went through with it, and the sex was good. I asked again if he had a GF, just to see if he would tell me the truth after he got what he wanted. He responded with he would ask her out soon, he just wanted to say his last goodbyes to me. In the moment, I got confused because we said our goodbyes last year. This was more like a hello. Then i thought maybe I got it all wrong and he's not in a relationship, and he was in fact just trying to let go of us and say his last goodbyes to me before fully committing to the girl he's been talking to. Then I was reminded of how much he used to mess with my brain. He would say good morning and I'd have to go outside to actually see if it was morning.
I do feel like he does have a GF, but i dont want to know for sure. I dont know her personally, but i could reach out and tell her what he's done. However, i am to blame as well, i was selfish and wanted sex and revenge and now i feel like a truck of guilt has been slowly hitting me. I cant think straight. I actually dont want to ruin things for them. I guess i was bitter and still hurt over things he had done to me. Funny enough, I set out to ruin him but instead I feel like I've ruined myself and my standards. I wanted to be the one to serve him his karma but instead karma found me.
