So I’ve been reading up on attachment - including a thread here - that states a oidants are more likely to cheat.
I’ve broken up with my ex and in hindsight I was thinking he may have cheated. We were never physically intimate although we cuddled, were affectionate and slept in the same bed and acted like most couples do. I once found a box of condoms that was open and over time it seemed the condoms were getting lower in count. So it was like he was using them and there’s really only one use for condoms.
On the other hand - he is super private and doesn’t like talking to people and thinks flirting and all that is work. He also spent a lot of time texting me if we weren’t together physically so he’d be hard pressed to find the time. He also said he liked porn and watched it ‘regularly’. And he mentioned that his ex cheated on him and that really did a number on him so I’d like to think he knows what hats like.
I want to ask him if he was unfaithful but is it better to just not know? Leave it alone and get in with the healing and moving on process?

Hi Cate,
In reading your post, I think it's best you not know. Unless you and your ex are planning on a reconciliation, which from what I gather is not really on your mind as of yet, I would leave it alone. Spare yourself further heartache. While I have also read the same, that Avoidants tend to cheat, that doesn't mean your ex did. Mine was very secretive as well, but if I listen to my gut, I also know he is very honest, in fact brutally honest so I do not feel he cheated.
Listen to your gut- do you really believe he did or does it only seem likely because you have had some time away and are seeking answers? Either way, I would think more about what you hope to gain from even knowing whether he cheated or not- will it bring you peace in some way or more heartache?

If the relationship is over, it's hard for me to see how you would benefit from knowing for sure other than the validity of having been right. But, would it bring in a lot of new pain? ANd would he tell you anyway?
