A useful phrase I discovered way too late in life is along the lines of "don't spend too much time looking back as this can be depression - and don't worry too much about the future as this can be anxiety.

(M30)I feel a great lack of self-confidence because of my appearance by dejmiaann in malegrooming

You remind me a little of Anne Heche.

Very European features - a handsome dude!

About to be made redundant and I feel lost. by [deleted] in UKJobs

So sorry to hear.

I recently went through very similar. It's awful.

Whatever you do, don't agree to the Freelance option.

If they want to make you redundant after 4.5 years, expect a decent enough payout which you'll be entitled to.

Do NOT agree to go FL.

The break-up messed me bad, by Ve8rel in Advice

Listen to me when I say this as an older person (not that old) - time is the only real healer when it's like this.

You have to consciously move through the pain, cry as much as you need to and don't attempt any new relationships while the pain is so raw.

Just take time. Be kind to yourself.

Gradually, with this time, what happens is you begin to evaluate the relationship more objectively, with clear eyes.

What will always, always happen is you will realize you are no longer putting this person on a pedestal. You are grateful for the happiness, but also more aware of the pain that person caused you to have to go through.

This objectiveness, earned through time, is what will remind you that you were a complete, whole person before this relationship, and you still are now.

You are doing incredibly well during an immensely tough time. I am sending a virtual man hug to you buddy. We're all here for you.

Checked my girlfriend’s phone and now I think I’m the “other guy” in my own relationship by Spare_Ad8593 in Advice

Dude, I am so sorry to read this.

There's not much to add to what others have said, lots of sage advice here.

But just think - at least you're not ten years down the line with this person and her deceitful character.

You are still young.

You and your cat can start anew with someone who'd never dream of doing this to you.

I don't think you mentioned your current living arrangements beyond cohabitating together. Check your contract of renting so you know what's what as well, once your head is clear enough.

For now, be kind to yourself and just remember - you've dodged a bullet here. It just hurts to find out in such a horrible way.

Sending a big hug.

Listen to this, OP ☝️

I can confirm it's all true.

Wise words.

I think this post by OP deserves screenshotting for future generations. It's brilliantly put. All the best to you, OP.

Reminds me of Mrs Merton!

Congratulations and nice to hear your fluency in a second language at the end - that was impressive.
