I had a relationship with a person for last 2 years... After 2 years he broke up with me... A 3rd person appeared who seemed to be his girlfriend for longer time... But before coming into relationship with me he didn't tell me anything about her.. now forcefully she entered & spoiled everything..
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To provide better guidance, could you please let me know which state or country you are in? This can help determine if there are any relevant legal actions you might consider.
He had intense physical relationship with me during those 2 years..
