[Always *]

Which is exactly what I think bothers me do much. My ex who I dated for 2 years lied about pretty significant things. The first time he confessed and I forgave hime (about a year in) and then about 6-8 months later more things started coming out and our relationship never recovered because I couldn't trust him any more no matter how hard I tried and I needed to end it.

I didn't tolerate it with him, I won't tolerate it now. And to be fair, maybe it's not as bad as it seems, but it probably is. A guy shouldn't be fishing around, not if he's in a relationship, he's been with the poor girl over a year too. I'm not going within 100 feet of that. At all. Ever. And I think that makes it worse knowing that he may have "accidentally" given me reason to never trust him romantically even if a romantic relationship would never happen now or ever.
