@abbyrodmanpsychotherapy: Sometimes facing the reality of a partner’s affair is too painful so we make excuses, rebrand it as a “mistake” — or just basically minimize the whole situation in order to make it suit our psyches. But the longer the affair continued, the more depth there was to it. The longer it went on, the closer the cheater and the affair partner became. Promises were made. Plans were discussed. YOU were discussed. Staying in a relationship after an affair is a choice only you can make. But please don’t look away from the harsh truths. If you do that now, you’ll come to regret it later. #marriage #infidelity #cheating
“Affair Partner” is the kindest word I can think of for this type of loathsome person, especially when they know about the betrayed spouse.

I think we need to call it what it is adultery. Affairs are special occasions like prom, homecoming, charity fundraiser, cocktail party.

They talked about YOU and your kids, and probably unkindly. It doesn’t matter that your husband or spouse trashes them equally- they vowed to you, and to your kids, to be faithful. 🖤 never again
I called my ex husband’s affair partner Mary Helen even tho her name is Mary Ellen… made my ex soooo mad

Way too normal especially watching people celebrating publicly. I’ll never understand how horrible things became so normalized.

Yea this breakdown helps me. I couldn’t forgive. I’m pretty sure mine has cheated at least emotionally and likely physically. And I’m on my way out because once I sat and thought about all of this, it made me realise i just couldn’t get past the hurt and the deceit personally.

Is a parallel life, they are not the same person either. No, they don’t talk about the wife, just small information about where she is…but they act as she doesn’t exist. Ask me questions because I had been involved in a relationship like this for 2 years.
