“My ex put on a face, lied, and cheated after buying a house together recently. Me 24yo m him 26yo m.”

We were in what seemed like a very strong relationship. 3 years strong. Lived together for a year before buying a house. 7 months and 20k dollars in renovations later he lied and cheated on me and didnt think i would find it on his Mac via iMessages. He cropped me out of pictures with our dogs and made our home look like his own doing. We never argued or faught. Had what i thought to be sometbing very good. Noticed him being distant one day and that was unusual. Heard a ring in the house when he was out of town and i had my phone on me so i knew it came from computer. I looked and found out this was something on goong for a while. I was mortified. Thoight it was a prank. It wasnt.

During the relationship, I acted in good faith by providing consistent emotional, personal, and financial support. I maintained the household, cared for our dogs while he traveled for work, and remained committed to the relationship. Financially, he contributed approximately $10,000 toward the down payment on the property, while I contributed approximately $10,000 by selling my vehicle and funding renovations that increased the home's value. Although the sale proceeds were divided equally, I was left solely responsible for satisfying the outstanding debt associated with the property, resulting in little to no financial benefit to me. In contrast, he retained his share without assuming the same financial burden. Following the separation, I also relinquished nearly all shared property of value, despite many items having been gifted to us or intended for my use. The only assets I retained were our dogs, as separating them was not in their best interest. The financial and personal consequences of his conduct left me in a substantially disadvantaged position and required me to rebuild my life from the ground up.
