[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not related to an affair, fwiw
Dh said something cruel to me and I’m having a hard time moving past it. It’s not an isolated incident. I told him I need space. We are essentially living as roommates and coparents for the moment.

A part of me (the part that longs to get back to “normal”) wants to say “hurt people hurt other people. Sit down with him, see where the hurt was coming from. Do the work to repair. Look at the bigger picture and not this one moment.”

A bigger part of me says: no. I feel devastated and disrespected. Don’t just brush this off because you want to zoom past the discomfort. Stop brushing aside your feelings. I am hurt.

Not sure if I’m jsut venting or looking for answers. Curious if anyone has experience or advice on how to balance navigate the duality. I want to
Figure things out. But I also feel like I’d be lying to myself to just move forward.
