Hi
so sorry he is treating you this way
I think you already know the answer to your question....
he appears to be a habitual cheater.
if you stay, you will continue to be hurt by it, and living with that could be very destructive to you emotionally, and possibly also impact your children, as when mom is hurting, it tends to trickle down.
IMHO without trust, a relationship is on sinking sand.
hoping you are able to move forward with your life, and leave this hurt behind.

I think you need to move on. He is 10 years younger than you are. You have already had children, and I think he needs to go out and explore his youth. This was probably inevitable from the start. Your both at very different stages in your life. Anybreak up will hurt, though you will heal and you will find love again. You will find love again with a mature man who is settled within himself. Big hugs and good luck.

Wait a minute, you are thinking you are his first girlfriend when he has cheated on you? He is a cheater!
If you cannot trust him, why stay with him? He appears to be just using you, sadly.
Your self-esteem is so low that you do not want to believe you are worth it.
Find someone who can and will love you for you and not just for when they want someone to have sex with.
