UPDATE: My (36F) cheating boyfriend (M45) of two years is finally out of my life

So after my post, several of you lovely people explained not to get back together with him. I completely agree, however there was some unfinished business
Over the course of two weeks I’ve been talking to his ex who of course was in pieces. I told her she needed closure so I suggested to my ex he meet up with her. Even offered to watch his son so they could meet. He said he would be an hour tops.
It was two hours. I found out after that they did met up and sat in her car and talked. He claims nothing happened but I don’t care at this point. I’ve spoken to her since and she’s thankful I set that up so she could say goodbye to him. Unfinished business number one done.
I’ve talked to his son a fair bit over the last two weeks. He understandably has a lot of trust issues. Talking with my ex he has set up therapy to also include his son and I’ve encouraged his son at length to speak his mind during these sessions. I’ve talked with him and with my ex’s mother present who also agreed to this so I feel comfortable now that he will somehow be able to advocate for himself going forward. Unfinished business number two done.
But now I have unfinished business number three to deal with. The ex texts me every day. He’s shown up on my doorstep and we have talked at length about the betrayal and how inconsiderate he is to me. Promises alllllll over the place about how he will NEVER cheat on me again and how he will put me first and will be considerate to my feelings blah blah blah
Flash forward to today. His son asked me to go to his hockey practice. I’m feeling good and think I can handle being around the ex (who is a coach so he will be on the ice so I don’t have to talk to him) so I agree. I drove the twenty mins and sat there enjoying myself. They get off the ice and go get changed.....
The ex and the son are together and we meet up in the atrium. Son asks his dad for a hot chocolate. Sure, why not. The ex then proceeds to buy himself a coffee and his son a hot chocolate.
I’m standing there like an idiot. No offer for me. No thought of if I want something from the canteen.
And it hit me. This is what my life would be like if I stay with him. I’ll never be thought of; I would be an after-thought. No I didn’t need anything from the canteen, that’s not the issue. I stepped up to be there for his son and he can’t even think of me or my needs.
I hugged his son goodbye. I told him if he needs anything to send me a text. I said goodbye to the ex and walked away. For all I know he’s still standing there wondering what just happened.
I’ve deleted him from my phone. I can’t have contact with him. I don’t have the heart for it yet but I’ll cut ties with his family on social media as I don’t want the reminders of the life I could have had but was in fact all a lie.
This is all just to say THANK YOU for the advice on here. I’ve never been in this situation and I hope I never am again.
TL;DR I finally was able to let go of my cheating boyfriend- thank you for all your help Dating.mobi!
