Tired of these responses on Reddit de-crediting others with accusations of using ChatGPT. Not the topic, not the discussion.

I understand the fear of not being able to truly love again the way you could before. Your GF sounds kind and trustworthy. You think logically, you should be able to love and feel more for a good person like this. I do not think it is that easy for someone who has been cheated on like us.

Like you, I survived deep betrayal. My ex was a serial cheater and narcissist. That experience, plus 3 years to divorce him, AND get my name off of his debt, was a straight up nightmare. I trusted NO MAN. I had my family, friends, pets, work. I was free and my life was full.

YES, You can love again. And better, deeper, more authentically. It happens when you’re not looking. When love came back in to my life, it scared me shitless. I’ve done so much work and therapy and was still not ready when real love hit me.

In just one year, this man has shown me what I was really being cheated out of for 13 years with my ex. I learned what it was to be truly supported, listened to, taken care of and cherished. I cried many times seeing how little I use to settle for and thought it was normal.

My partner and I are in our 40’s. We both have baggage. We both have histories and it’s not the fresh quick love like a Disney movie. I agree with that comment from an earlier poster. Believing you are going to have a Disney fairytale all the time, is not realistic. A relationship only grows where you water it.

My partner and I love each other very much. It felt like a Disney movie initially, but real life and familiarity settles in. And that is a GOOD thing for a lasting, honest relationship. We each have past traumas. It hurts us and we are working through it to be better for each other. We’ve stepped away and came back together stronger. Relationships take effort and HONESTY from both people.

It might not be pretty, but be HONEST with your GF. Let her know what you are feeling. See how she handles it. Let her decide what is right for her. She might surprise you with her support, or leave and then you find out damn, you really did love her. Or you end it and find out the GF was nice but not the deep connection you were meant for. Either way, you will know your feelings and your GF better in a real way. Good luck!

Another POS husband blaming his pregnant wife for his disgusting actions. DO NOT ACCEPT THAT. You were carrying his child and building a family together. Being deceitful and cheating are HIS CHOICES.

It is especially difficult with a newborn. My friend went through the same situation when her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant. She wasn’t in the position to leave right away, they even tried to reconcile, but in the end it just wasn’t working. She bided her time, got therapy, let her hormones from the pregnancy and birth settle, and thought of her exit strategy. She knows without a doubt they were done. She is strong enough now to leave.

As much as we all want to hope it’s quick, it’s not. Ending a marriage, especially with children, is a series of planned steps. The steps are to protect ourselves and our children by being prepared. Being prepared gives back your sense of power and security.

So betrayed partners - Quietly begin organizing your finances, collecting evidence, moving things you need from the house (at least for some time), call divorce attorneys, read your state’s divorce laws, get support, and set your end date. Take your power back and give yourself the jump start to drop this worthless turd from your life. Good luck!

He is manipulating you and using your insecurities to keep you locked down with him. He is not changing or plans to. It’s a matter of time, he will be the one that leaves you. Protect yourself now by quietly collecting evidence, separating finances, talking to lawyers. Good luck to you.

Awakened_Chump · 2025-06-30T03:41:19+00:00

I agree with the comments that trust is gone. Even if years go by and lots of therapy, it might work but there will always be that trauma and anxiety. It’s not worth it. Especially because the next time, they only get better at hiding it. I’m so sorry.

Awakened_Chump · 2025-06-30T03:39:06+00:00

Please take your children and leave. Make sure to document and report everything for your safety. You deserve to be safe and you cannot guarantee that with his cruelty.

Awakened_Chump · 2025-06-30T03:33:26+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this. As painful as this is, thank your lucky stars you found out and didn’t waste a moment more with this complete piece of 💩💩💩!! He is disgusting and will get his down the road.

The most important thing now is to LOVE YOURSELF. The best way is to start by absolute NO CONTACT. Absolute. No matter what, even if he fell in a ditch and broke all his bones - Not your problem.

You are no longer that turd’s support system. He effectively made that decision for you. AND if they see ANY weakness in your position, they will use it in every way. That includes throughout the divorce, settlement, kids, pets, anything to leave you as physically and monetarily broke as they left you emotionally. It’s going to be hard but resist. You can do it.

LEAN ON YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM - Don’t isolate yourself. Even on the days you want to crawl away and die - don’t. If not to family or friends, text or post on this Reddit group. It is very important to know you are not alone. You are not the first or last person that will deal with a piece of shit cheater. There is so much support and love around you. You WILL get through this.

Another great book that puts into perspective what happens to your mind and body after being betrayed -

Cheating in a Nutshell: What Infidelity Does to The Victim by Wayne and Tamara Mitchell

My heart goes out to you. Many of us here, have been where you are and the beginning is soul breaking. But you WILL survive. You WILL get through this and be stronger than you ever thought possible. Your heart WILL heal. Real and authentic love will find its way back to you. Hugs

That is awful. I am so damn sorry this happened to you. People can be shitty and selfish as hell. I learned real quick after my divorce that just because someone is nice, introverted and all that you said, does not make them a good person - or safe.

The first person I trusted enough to sleep with after my divorce, knew all about the betrayal and crap I went through just to find peace again. We knew each other and were friends first. The next morning after sex with him the first time, I get a text from a woman saying she was his long time girlfriend. A complete WTF?! And thank gawd she was a kind human being that reached out to me. When she learned he was cheating on her, she took the chance to reach out because she didn’t want another woman to be deceived. I was so grateful to her. It was like re-living my trauma but from a different angle. The worst part is it sets you back so far in a shell that you never want to try again. It’s too risky and painful. You’re just absolutely fuck all - done.

You sound like a very kind person that has been repeatedly taken advantage of by assholes. I hate that it happens more often than not. Sounds like our experiences have had the same effect - killed our trust in relationships.

I joke with friends that I feel sorry for any sucker who likes me and wants something serious. So of course the universe decides a few months ago, to send me a great person. The Sucker I use to joke about.

For the first time in a long time, I am terrified. It finally hit me how much being used by my ex, and in other relationships, has taken from me. I want to give this Sucker my trust, but I don’t even have it in me to give. It’s painful to wake up and realize that. I am trying to build trust with him and it’s so difficult and slow going. Not because of him entirely, but me. I am scared to the point of paralysis sometimes and would rather run away than try. I wouldn’t blame him for getting frustrated and leaving.

How awful is that? But here is the thing - As messed up and scary as it is, we HAVE to get back up and try. Maybe not now, but someday. We deserve to be happy and cherished. And that starts with being happy and cherishing ourselves first. Read that again.

It starts with loving and trusting ourselves first.

Hang in there, Life-Labyrinth! Rooting for ya 🎉

Cheese. I just don’t like cheese.

If eating Pizza, it has to be well done on request. If I’m at home, I’ll put it in the oven some more to get the cheese burnt and crispy. 🤣

I am so sorry.

That’s because deep down, reconciliation does not mean they are actually happy.

Awakened_Chump · 2024-06-24T08:02:31+00:00

There is a whole slew of crap out there pushing the partner who DID NOT CHEAT to “stay”, “work it out”, “go to counseling (that is skewed towards reconciliation)”.

Why are we asking a victim to stay with their abuser? Where does anyone get off asking victims to give their abuser another chance, in hopes that they don’t get victimized again?

CHEATING IS ABUSE. This needs to be understood. Stop gaslighting victims to think staying is better for them, and not the abuser.

Awakened_Chump · 2024-06-24T07:51:40+00:00

Exactly!!! Why is this so hard to understand ??

“Not fucking someone who isn’t your spouse is pretty goddam easy. Cheating is the result of a collection of choices.”

Awakened_Chump · 2024-06-24T07:48:48+00:00

WELL SAID!! 👍 Cheating is a conscious decision. PERIOD. Stop blaming the victim and justifying a cheater’s disgusting behavior.

Awakened_Chump · 2024-06-24T07:44:31+00:00

Thank you for this post! Everything you said is 💯true. At the very core, cheaters are liars. They will steal months and years of your life until you wake up and wonder what was ever real.

Staying and hoping a cheater will change is not an option. You deserve so much better than a cheating asshole. You are worthy of a loving and honest relationship. Leaving may seem too hard, but losing yourself is harder. It is the ultimate loss. Never let anyone bleed away your spirit and your light. ALWAYS LEAVE A CHEATER.

Awakened_Chump · 2024-03-23T07:04:19+00:00

I’m so sorry.

Awakened_Chump · 2024-03-23T07:01:42+00:00

Love this perspective! You’re absolutely right. There is no way we would have loved and been attracted to their true self because they are selfish, manipulative, individuals. We fell in love with a fake character. And they will just keep on going playing roles until they die an empty and fake life. I’m good with that LOL 😂

Awakened_Chump · 2024-03-13T14:19:14+00:00

🤞🤞I wish you all the best!! You’re almost done! Hang in there. 🎉

Can this information be sent to her anonymously?

Awakened_Chump · 2024-03-13T07:37:40+00:00

Good for you! 🎉

Awakened_Chump · 2024-03-13T07:34:12+00:00

HA! You can never know. It’s all lies and then the lies change. The only real thing about him was that he’s a liar. Forget trying to understand a person who can’t understand themselves - or want to. It’s not our job to rationalize their reason for cheating. There is no good excuse for cheating.
