You can look at it as a heart break, I lost everything or you can think your guardian angel showed you who he really is before you had children so you can go back home and be happy. It's a gift. Embrace your new life. |
Amazing, huh? He accused you of being emotionally abusive and gas lighting... that's more than simple hypocrisy, it's delusional at best. I get that you're sad though - it's the death of something - but the last post I read before writing this suggested that you look as this as a blessing and to thank your Guardian Angel ... you won't see it yet but he has shown his true colors early and I couldn't agree with that poster more. He sounds so destructive that I wouldn't put it past him to hurt you physically - wouldn't surprise me at all. Do whatever you need to be safe, OP - Mind, Body and Soul... |
| After 6 months of being ignored, it is hard to call it "cheating" for him to find sexual relief elsewhere. Why exactly does that bother you? If his sexual activity is so important to you, why then did you ignore him for 6 months? How many more months did you expect him to not "cheat" ? |
I never ignored him sexually, even when i couldn’t straighten or bend my leg properly bcoz of my fracture, we were sexually active. We had sex twice the week i discovered he was cheating so no this has nothing to do with me ignoring him sexually |
My brain gets that, but i still feel so depressed and dumb for quitting my job and everything to follow him |
| You are never responsible for another person's choices. If he was unhappy and wanted a divorce, he should have done that before finding someone else. |
Yes, i am sad because i invested 2 years of my life into it and he has been smearing my name to his family, mother, siblings and friends. None of them knows he cheated on me, he told them i was emotionally abusive, rejecting him and didnt appreciate him. So im hurt that so many people dont know the full truth and are judging me for it. Also, since i discovered the affair, he acts like im scum and has so much hate for me, that im second guessing myself wondering if maybe im the one to blame, maybe i didnt do enough. He leaves home early and gets home at 11pm or midnight. I go to physical therapy and come home, locked in the bedroom all day as I have no friends and family around. Im just so broken and sad and i need to get a job so i can get out of the toxic environment |
But OP - you moved to be with your husband. Despite what many try to promote, I think far fewer people are able to pull-off the long distance thing. You MUST give yourself permission to give yourself a break. Imagine one of your favorite people going through the EXACT same thing ... treat yourself as well as you would them. And don't invent reasons you somehow deserve ANY of this ... whether you were already prone to beating yourself up or he initiated or further instilled it in you, it's your job to stop being unkind to yourself. |
As someone who didn't find out about cheating until after kids, I say count your blessings! You dodged a major bullet. Spend the next year focuaing on yourself - recovering, getting back to work, filling your life with honest people you can rely on. |
Your heart and your head will sync with time. Your head can turn on a dime, the heart changes courses slowly like a ship... Follow your head and your heart will catch up. |
I wish you'd meet with a lawyer so that he/she can advise you of the best course of action. I'm not even talking about divorce - I'm talking about protecting yourself, your reputation, etc.. It's important to have all this documented. Plus, you'll have an advocate which will make you feel impowered and who can help you create a timeline and to set goals. Do you trust anyone at PT to recommend a good lawyer? |
It was one time when you were treating him badly for an extended period of time. Could youvreally not have done better? Have him tested for std’s, go to counseling and move on. |
Not sure what ure referring to, as soon as i fond out he was cheating he presented me with divorce papers |
Its a simple divorce, no assets or kids in common, no lawyer needed, it will sort of be like an annulment |
I just dont understand how its fair he can cheat and find someone and be happy while im the one who got hurt. How can it work out for him when hes been the ass.hole, how is that fair? |
