Understanding Betrayal Community Group
Traumatic events, such as natural disasters and criminal attacks shatter assumptions about our sense of safety in the world. In a similiar way, the discovery of infidelity is devastating because it shatters basic assumptions about the security we expect in committed relationships. This group is open to anyone. It's a place to share, learn, and talk freely. Let's...
I proposed to her on 1/1/11 and found out about the others 1/15/11. Trying my hardest to work it out. One day at a time
Damn sorry I went off topic and ranted guess I needed to.
I think worse than not trusting others is wondering if I will ever trust myself again. My ability to see what is really going on is clearly non existent. A lot of trust is in the head, but it is also felt, and sometimes I wonder if that part of my heart will stop being paraylyzed. I wonder if my mind will be willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I wonder if I will be WILLING to even try to trust.
I know I just need to walk through this. I take one day at a time and I don't worry about next week, next month or next year.
Much like you I have to find a way to stay in the place where I can accept and be okay with NOT having a guarantee.
There is NOTHING I could have done to prevent his A and there's NOTHING I can do to prevent him from having another.
I don't have to stick around-that is a choice.
I don't have to spend the rest of my years with a cheater---the balls in his court now. I'm going to continue to be the wife I was to him before his A. If he steps out again---he's a looser---cause he'll loose me---and I'm a pretty good catch, even if I do say so myself. I know I'm a good wife. Hell, I'm a good person. All I'm asking is for someone to treat and respect me the same as I do for them.
2 months isn't long at all. It will get better, I promise.
Say goodbye to the person you once were---that person is dead. Hopefully, you can say the same about the person that cheated you. That person needs to die too---(so to speak.)
When I met this one I vowed to myself that I was NOT going to distrust him, I was not going to be overly attached to him - you know keep our separate intersts and friends - use good communication skills not try to read his mind and expect him to read mine. I had not been happier with someone in a REALLY long time - it was noticeable to my family. Not to mention I make more money, the house we live in is mine, I better educated, better with money, etc I did not think for a million dollars this guy would go ANYWHERE.
How stupid was I... The whole time he was living with me (part of it unemployed) he was spending money on paid whore sites where he could instruct the whore what to do, he even shared his webcam with at least one of them to show her his body in MY HOUSE while denying that me and my son existed at all! Just me and my dog in my house! He regularly told these women that he loved them and wanted to have babies with them. If you aren't already sick to your stomache the best part is coming. I got the phone bill last July and it all of a sudden more than doubled. The same phone number for 30 some pages worth of texts - and that's just he phone number listed over and over again. LONG story and many lies shorter - he hooked up with a girlfriend from 20 years earlier, was looking for apartments to get away from his evil girlfirend and start back up with this ex where they left off - engaged! It went on for a month before I finally got the truth out of him - I was actaully already kicking him out of the house before he finally admitted to sleeping with her ONCE - it was a lot more of course... SO YEAH - Shocked as Hell by the LATEST incident of being cheated on....CHECK
I feel for anyone who has similar struggles. HUGS
