It is so hard! 14 years and 4 kids later. Found out about 7 months ago. I know it wasn’t all lies, but it’s crazy to think how we were both seeing through such different lenses. Proud of you as you navigate this journey! Sending so much love 💖

Same girl. I thought I was in the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in before I found out, and it ruined everything even when I tried my best to forgive him. I could never fully comprehend that we were living different realities during the “good times”. You worded this so well. Much love 🥰

I think the hardest part for me is that I don’t have very much community outside of him and so much of my stability is tied to him and having a second income since I’m disabled

I relate to all of this. The most hurtful and hard part for me right now is that it is painful for me to think about any memories of my kids. Like memories I have of them are triggers for me. It’s so unfair that this life that I thought I had and was living was all not real. My kids are little still and it’s so terrible that I don’t like to think about memories even the good ones and their milestones. I’m really working on things in therapy. I hope someday I can look back at this time of them being toddlers and babies and not have the pain of betrayal attached to these memories.

Relate, took me a year afterwards to really start to come to terms with it all. Even now certain things trigger a happy memory. That memory quickly becomes tarnished knowing it was going on in this same moment. The greatest thing to come out of it was our son. Thankful every day, I enjoy every moment with him.

Download the pictures, put them in the folder, put that folder in some platform in the cloud. Delete if/when you’re ready. But these pictures don’t belong to YOUR life path anymore. I’m sorry this happened to you 🥺

🫂 trying to sort through the rubble is so hard. after like the third time I call him cheating He expressed to me that he was cheating because he was unhappy He was unhappy with me He was unhappy with our relationship He was unhappy in life I had all these pictures and smiles because my thing has always been when I'm happy I take a picture hundreds and hundreds of photos of us smiling together during the same time that he was actively cheating. One time I sat him down and said let's look through these pictures and you tell me the ones that you were fake happy in and the ones that you were really happy in and he basically said he was really happy in all of them. that hurt my soul then but at this point years later and after ending the relationship I realize he was happy with me/us in all of them he didn't cheat because he was unhappy with me, He was unhappy with himself and there was nothing I could do about that. He was willing to hurt me repeatedly in order to try to fix the fact that he was unhappy with himself. when I realized that I left. It's going on 4 months now and I still miss him and I struggle daily with whether I miss him or whether I miss the idea I was sold. whether I miss us or just the lies and it's so hard.
