    AITAH for being mute to my cheating ex fiancee, even when she talks to me directly?

    "She's changed her hair, bought new clothes, and seemingly walked around like the world has moved on and so has she"

    | [30M] was engaged to a woman [30F] but a couple of months ago I was forced to call off our engagement.

    We were close to our wedding and I found out she'd been having an affair under my nose for months with a close mutual friend. She unashamedly left the house in the middle of the night to see him, came back and confessed to me where she'd been.

    The wedding that we cancelled cost thousands and we're also trying to sell our house we've only been in for 18 months. She moved out to stay with a close by step-patent and I'm in the house as we sell it.

    I hope none of you have ever been in that situation but if you have, you'll be aware of the myriad of anger, pain, doubt, frustration, heartbreak and sadness you feel. She's paying her share of the mortgage and comes back occasionally to get stuff.

    When she's been back the past few times she's tried to make conversation and I can't even look at her. I can't even look in her direction. I give one word answered at best and am beyond blunt, but not ride with her.

    She's changed her hair, bought new clothes and seemingly walked around like the world has moved on and so has she.

    The past few times she's been back to the house she's talked to me and I've ignored her, literally just blanked her. She's asked me questions like 'Did you have a good week?' 'How's things?' 'Is work busy?' etc and I've just ignored her. To interact with her hurts too much.

    We had a few house viewings lately and she wanted to ask me about who'd do them, and again, I'd blank her. She'd roll her eyes and look at me and say 'why are you like this?' 'I just don't understand how you can be like this?' and 'why are you like this now... it's been a few months?'

    The rage I feel, the sadness. The thoughts that run through my mind when she says this are not worth repeating.

    She's seen me leaving the house before when she's been back and asked where I'm going, when I'll be back, who I'm going to see and again... no answer.
  • 13
    The ONLY replies she gets are via whatsapp message where it relates to selling the house. I'll give blunt messages and not reply to pleasantries or messages that don't require.

    I got messages recently to say I was being childish, I was being juvenile, I wasn't helping, my refusal to talk to her was just stupid etc
  • 15
    I want to scream at her at what she's done and the extent of her betrayal but I'm not stupid enough to think she'd listen, I'm not stupid enough to think it would change anything. The message 'l just don't understand where this is all coming from' is the last one she sent me.

    I want to lock the door on the day we sell the house, get into my car silently as she's moving out the last of her stuff and just get into my car and drive off. I want to be a dot, an enigma, a 'nothing' that she never heard from again, not even my hears my voice. I can't do it.

    I can't trust myself to talk to her, I want her to be met with silence. The rest, is silence. AITA for refusing to talk at all to my cheating ex fiancee even when she talks to me?

    EDIT: I wasn't expecting this many responses, nevermind so many of them so kind and supportive and helpful. I'm in my kitchen sobbing.

    Tell her bluntly that you want nothing to do with her, she is a disgusting person and to stop acting like there is any possibility that a reasonable person in your position could look at her and not want to puke. Then don't engage.

    Good_Ad6336 • 20h ago NTA. SMH the audacity of her to think you can treat people like sh and not have consequences. People are not toys. You can't play with them, leave them when you are bored, and expect them to still be there when you come back.
