You deserve so much better. The fact that he only showed remorse after he got caught and punished seems really disingenuous. I would talk to him about maybe only staying friends, and even that is waaaaay too generous for him.

It's great that you have too much pride for dealing with his cheating ways. If he really loved you or cared about you, he wouldn't have cheated on you.

Can friends date though? Meaning we can be friends but do couple things like go to dinner, see a movie, do fun activities together, comfort and support each other, and whatever else we feel like doing together. People never gave us weird looks because I look really young and he presents as older. He couldn't believe me when I told him my age and would say I look so pretty, youthful, and his age anytime I reminded him of my life experiences.

Some people make really great friends - and terrible partners. He's 30. Chances are its pretty set in stone at this point. This is who and what he is. Non-commital. He had a go at being monogomous and it took him all of a few seconds to start fucking around. What he wants is a stable partner, who will turn a blind eye to his nonsense. He tried you out. You didn't like it. One things for certain though, he might like you a whole lot, but that man does not love you.

Tell your husband the ring was mailed back, but you don’t want to revisit the trauma of what happened. So you want to sell the ring at a pawn shop and donate the money to a domestic violence shelter. Hold firm that you do not want to revisit what happened, you do not want reminders of it like the ring, and you do not want to work to find the person who did it, you don’t want to waste anymore time of your life on what happened years ago. If he has trouble accepting this, schedule couples therapy asap. It’s your trauma, only you get to decide how best to process it and move forward. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
