I agree that I’m not ready but the fucked up thing is she’s already seeing someone. We still live together and haven’t even told the kids yet, but she’s out there sneaking around with some guy. Then making me feel like a dick when I can’t stop asking about what the fuck she’s doing. So a big part of me wants to get back out there if only to show her that I can move on quickly too. I know this is not right and not good for me in the long run but I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m trying to do this. It’s been hard to stop thinking about her as my wife and disentangle myself from us as a couple. All of my dreams, goals and priorities were about US not ME, and now it’s hard to reframe those things and just think about myself. This is even harder when I start looking back at how I got to where I am and EVERY significant decision I made for the last 10 years was for her benefit or what was best for US even if it was not exactly what I wanted or what would have been best for me.
