I have a story that’s a double whammy. As this man child cheated on his pregnant girlfriend with his best friend’s girlfriend. And when I say best friend I mean the one guy he always turned to… that he was always over at his house, that truly had his back. A good guy that did nothing to deserve this either.
I started dating this guy Scott Edelman around end of April. He was very sweet to me at first. Very attentive, always going above and beyond to try and make me happy. He comes from a very dark past. I won’t get into detail as it is his business and this is our story. But let’s just say he was involved in a domestic altercation in a past relationship which he is now paying heavy consequences for legally. I wanted to give him a chance and not judge him from his past…
Scott Edelman was not typically my type however his sweetness and what I thought was genuine intentions, won my heart. I eventually fell in love with him. He was always over my house, with me and we had a good time. I did notice some weirdness in his habits even before we started dating. He seem to always have a “thing” for his friend’s girlfriends.
It started with two friend’s girlfriends. He was constantly texting, talking and spending time with. I didn’t want to judge as it’s ok to have friends. I assumed that maybe they were good friends as well. Then his friend broke up with one of them. And instead of comforting his “bro” he ran to her and spent the night “comforting” her. Eventually the other friend broke up with his girlfriend too and since then he no longer talked to them. Kinda proving my “just a old friend” theory wrong. So then his best friend, Justin, got a new girlfriend. Scott instantly became chummy with this girl, Lindsay.
My instincts kicked in and something did not seem right. He claimed they were only “friends” however I did check his phone records and Scott Edelman was texting and calling her numerous times every day. She had also given him a large sum of money for his bills. Kinda strange for someone to do to a person they just met. He called me paranoid and ridiculous and said Justin knew all about how close he and Lindsay were and was fine with it.
I told him it wasn’t just disrespectful toward me, but to his friend as well. Scott didn’t care. I eventually said “you need to stop contacting her or else we are done” after a large fight he agreed to stop. According to his phone records it seemed like he kept his promise. (For the record he gave me permission to check them) Things were better. We were trying to get to a place of our own to accomadate our growing family as I was very pregnant with my second child. I have a two year old as well.
I set out to find him a full time job. I wrote up a resume, cover letter and paid for him to get a haircut, bought him a shaving kit spend many nights filling out applications for him and finally he landed a full time job. The first week on his new job one day, something happens. Turns out one day Scott Edelman had left his tablet open and a coworker had seen explicit messages between him and this girl Lindsay. His coworker is good friends with Justin, the girls boyfriend. So he screen shots his tablet, shows Justin and I got copies of it as well. Turns out they had been having sexual relations for a very long time and had feelings for each other. She thinks she’s is a vampire and they talked about how they will drink each others blood and how much they wanted to be with each other and felt like they couldn’t because of being in relationships already.
He had gone to see her when I was working. Needless to say it broke my heart. Justin was enraged. I was 34 weeks pregnant and had realized that everything I had worked for, loved and trusted was all a lie. This guy was nothing but a low life. Even worse is he spent a whole day denying everything claiming his coworker framed him and blah blah blah. Then little by little he admitted to the whole thing. I didn’t know what to do as I had come to depend on his help immensely being so pregnant so I agreed he could stay. Yet the very next day I saw he called her for a long time and that was it. I dumped him, kicked him out and I’m trying to cut all ties with him.
He lost his best friend Justin as well as the respect and loyalty of many other friends that are appauled at his dispicable behavior. Everyone is in shock. In the end, I guess as long as she is worth him losing everything over, then he must be happy. He will get what’s coming to him soon enough I hope. Do not trust this guy! He is a manipulative, money sucking liar who thinks he is God in bed. I tell his friends this is not just me. Yes, I am the pregnant girlfriend that gets hurt, however him doing this to his best friend as well says so much more. He betrayals know no bounds. Beware. Scott Edelman leaves a trail of more than just me but many hurt angry people and children that do not deserve this level of disrespect from someone who is nothing to begin with. Hope they are all happy together.
