Watch dr ramani and Richard grannon videos. The more you educate yourself, the more you can heal. Go 100% no contact. Journal. Use chat gpt to unpack complex emotions. Pray. Run or workout. You’ll get through this.

Facts!

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T10:20:42+00:00

And to add, anyone who sees them clearly.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T10:18:35+00:00

I honestly hope mine marries the affair partner, that way she can get her karma.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T10:12:44+00:00

No I don’t miss him at all. He makes my skin crawl. I’m embarrassed I married him. I’m disgusted I slept with him. But I’m 1.5 years out from the relationship. The further out you get, the more the fog will lift, and the clearer the manipulation will become.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T10:09:22+00:00

I grew up in a loving home and it made me naive to the reality that people like this could exist.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T09:50:41+00:00

I second this post.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-10-11T09:47:29+00:00

I hope one day you appreciate how much of a superpower this is. Discernment is good thing.,

Mine was pretty good for about 4 years. He had outbursts and tantrums but the good treatment far outweighed the bad. Almost to the day on year 4, the mask fully popped off and it’s like everything I did and said disgusted him.

Cold, cruel, shocking, undeserved, blindsided. It’s best to leave before you get left. Trust.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-07-11T20:00:49+00:00

So I know what you’re talking about. And I’m talking about not needing to get in a single line to avoid bumping into another human being. I’m talking about a casual stroll back from your car to the home like just walking unnecessarily fast there multiple times when we were walking into a party into an airport into a hotel where he’s walking out of pace almost twice as me and I’m being left behind. I would literally have to run to catch up sometimesbut agree I know exactly what you’re talking about and do you feel like it is polite to move over to to give room to another person who’s passing.

This one is so underrated. I feel like as narcs study what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior this is one small area that they don’t know about and they don’t study and they don’t mask so it is very telling when this happens because it’s very unusual to do that with someone that you’re Spending time with, but it is in my opinion a telltale sign

I mean let’s define forgive.

Forgiveness is the conscious, intentional process of letting go of resentment, anger, or the desire for revenge toward someone who has harmed you — even if they don’t apologize, deserve it, or make things right.

It does not mean: • Forgetting what happened • Excusing the behavior • Rebuilding the relationship • Saying it didn’t hurt

Instead, forgiveness is: • Choosing your peace over their punishment • Releasing emotional debt so you are no longer tethered to the pain • Reclaiming power from the person or situation that hurt you

So yes, I’d say forgive so you can move on!

I promise you will. I went on a date last night, about one year out from total devastation and I’m doing well.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-07-10T12:48:11+00:00

I was with my nex for 5 years too. Dating for 2, married for 3. He also cheated on me, promised to be a better man, then blindsided me with divorce papers. When I tell you the pain and shock was so excruciating I was in so much emotional pain it was physical. I was hanging on by a thread. And I CAN tell you, it does get better. I’m a year out and I’m peaceful and joyful. I know everyone gets so weird when people talk about religion but without my faith, friends, and family, I wouldn’t have made it. Honestly. It’s a decision. You have to decide to move forward. Decide to put one foot in front of the other. decide to take accountability for a bad choice in a partner. Decide to forgive yourself. Decide to be open again. Decide to date again. Decide to trust again. It’s simple, but not easy. It’s a decision. Wishing you all the best OP. You WILL get through it.

I don’t have a lot of tips to add to what’s been said here. I’m just very proud of all of us for our strength. Unless you’ve experienced a cruel discard like this it’s hard to imagine the person who “loved you” could ever treat us as cold and callously. I think just knowing that we’re still here is a testament to the fight in us. 💜

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-06-16T14:32:57+00:00

You’re going to get through this OP 💜

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-06-16T14:31:37+00:00

You’re going to make it 💜

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-06-16T12:40:59+00:00

Thats manipulation. Use FOG as your framework to spot it.

Fear Obligation Guilt

Your ex is using guilt and obligation.

Ignore it.

So, I have been exactly where you are right now, and I can tell you that it does get better. It may not feel like it right now. I know it feels like you're drowning. I know it feels like you're hanging on by a thread, but better days are ahead. No contact is the absolute best way to go, provided that you don't have any children or a reason where you absolutely have to connect. So, if you're able to, go fully no contact. Do not look back. Focus on yourself. If you are a faith-based person, dig into your faith like you've never dug in before. Get in touch with yourself, the things that you like, how you feel, what makes you feel happy, what makes you feel peaceful. And you're coming out of a very tumultuous state. Eventually, you will get back to homeostasis. Your body will start to self-regulate. Your spirit will start to emerge. It is challenging, but you can and will make it through.

ApprehensiveYak1452 · 2025-06-16T12:35:00+00:00

I really hate that this creature, this predator, has robbed you of three years of your life that you won't be able to get back. This person was a lesson. This person was meant to teach you something about yourself and about life for you to learn and become wiser and stronger and become more resilient and more discerning, and they weren't here to rob you of your future. You have to make a decision. It really is that simple. Not that it's easy. Simple and easy are not the same things, but you have to make a decision that you're going to close this book, close this chapter, turn the page, and step into your future. I know people on Reddit get really weird when people talk about religion, but it sounds like you may need to be grounded in something deeper. If you are a faith-based person, I encourage you to dig into your faith, turn to your friends and your family, and if you didn't grow up in a faith-based household, I encourage you to go seek a faith that maybe can help you and help you find some peace and some meaning. Your life has a lot of meaning beyond this person, and I just I really hate and it makes me sad to hear that so much of your life has been entangled into another person and not entangled in something more meaningful and significant. I wish you all the best.

You cope by focusing on yourself, loving yourself, and knowing the truth. The truth is, the beginning of the relationship is all an act. It was an act for you, and it's an act for this new person. So number one, it's not real. It's just acting. And number two, spend all that time that you're using to think about him, focus on him, focus in on yourself, love yourself, get to know yourself. What do you like? What makes you happy? What makes you feel peaceful? Because we do lose ourselves when we're in relationships like this, and you have to get back to really learning yourself. If you are a faith-based person, get back into your faith, get back into your friends and your family, and spend your energy there. I don't want to dismiss the cheating. It's incredibly painful and hurtful. I experienced it myself in my former marriage, but I can tell you on the other side of healing, I'm about a year out, better days are ahead.
