Yep, that sucks. But it's a better suckage than if you had hidden it, or if the relationship had gone on in a half-ass manner. Now I'm not advocating fooling around with someone else as a means to discover if you're really in love with someone (there are better ways to realize these things!... e.g. lots of communication), but in your case that's what it took. So cheers to you for coming to the TFP and asking for advice, then stepping up to the truth in the end. That takes strength. I wish you luck in the aftershock.
