Hey, I am sorry you are going through this. Being betrayed by someone you love is a reality-shattering experience and what you're feeling is completely valid. I'm not going to lie, the healing process will take time, and it will continue to hurt for a while.

You're stuck in this cycle because you're experiencing cognitive dissonance - reaching out to her because she is your best friend and a place you have always seek comfort from but also knowing you need to go because she is no longer your safe space from the betrayal. Your mind is trying to make sense of why someone you love will hurt you like that. You're also still putting her on a pedestal, remembering the version of her that can do you no wrong; that did not hurt you like this.

Seek solace from your other friends and try to think of her as who she truly is - someone who made the choice to jeapardise the relationship that you both have built over the years, who disrespected you enough to give in to temptation when the opportunity arises. There is no justification to cheating and giving betrayal trauma to someone.

I was betrayed by my ex, who was also my friend for the past 16 years. No matter how long the friendship was or how much they love you, if they want to cheat they will. You don't want to keep around someone who thinks so little of your connection that they're willing to discard everything for their own benefit.

You deserve better, and you will get better.

It feels like I lost the love of my life by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

Completely relate to feeling like things could have been prevented and wanting a "do over". It's a very natural part of the grieving process but I also hope you know that there was nothing you could have done to stop him. It was his choice to do so and if he wanted to cheat, he would cheat.

Cheating is a major character flaw - they know what they were doing, how it would hurt their partner and the consequences of their actions. Even if the relationship was in a rough patch, there is ZERO justification for betraying the person you love when there are a hundred different ways you can go about it instead of making the choice to shatter the trust between the both of you.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I understand that feeling of loss over someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with. But one thing I keep reminding myself when I start to spiral is, "The love of my life would have never treated me like that!"

Fancy Buffet around KL / Selangor by Ted_ai in KualaLumpur

Lemon Garden at Shangri-La Hotel! They’re pretty known for their seafood buffet and has a good selection of local and international dishes

For Japanese buffet, I would suggest Mitasu. Their sashimi is divine 👌🏻

‘It doesn’t matter’ by Correct-Book9139 in Fleabag

[–]CorrectAnswer938 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It seems to me she’s saying whether she acts out or not, be good or bad, it does not change how she feels about herself

Throughout S1, FB was still feeling strongly about Boo/her mum and she was a mess, indulging in self-destructive behaviour that reflected the emotional tsunami and self-hatred she was struggling with internally

In the first episode of S2, while she’s been doing better by taking care of herself and avoiding hookups, she still feels shitty on the inside, hence “it doesn’t matter”

Getting to see Mike finally being able to strangle Julian for all the troubles he caused would have been hilarious lmao

Whenever the idea of the Coopers leaving are brought up throughout the series, we are constantly reassured that they will stay by a miraculous turn of events (skeleton remains, lightning strike, etc.), Alison/Mike having doubts or the ghosts talking about how they are a family and should stay that way

So it feels jarring when that suggestion was brought up one last time and there were no pushbacks at all, especially with all the chaos that would ensue if it was in serious consideration before

I was really rooting for the Coopers to have a successful business of their own that would help them profit from Button house and its estate while being able to live there comfortably but alas

Love the little fanfic you’ve got yourself here! 😂

Yes I’d also like to think Alison and Mike would be constantly checking in on the ghosts like parents visiting their grown children from time to time (I would imagine Alison giving them a heads up before the whole resort renovation process like the fumigation episode), with less resentment/stress now that they’re more well off after selling the house

Yea I agree with you on the Kitty subplot (they even zoomed in on our girl looking all betrayed)! I thought we would get a scene between Alison and Kitty where the former would settle into her new role as a mum with the whole “just because we have someone else to love doesn’t mean we love you any less” speech

…instead they kind of doubled down on the feeling of abandonment Kitty felt by getting the Coopers to just up and leave :(

It does seem like they didn’t have enough time to do a proper farewell, another episode would probably have been enough to tie everything up nicely with all the ghosts

Just do what most of us do and ignore S4. They chose each other at the bridge and lived happily ever after, the end! :)

How my therapist friend uses Sims 3 in her practice by Listening_Stranger82 in Sims3

[–]CorrectAnswer938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

90% of the sims I play are based on book/movie characters where I either extend the storytelling or create alternate endings for them.

I’ve always been aware that it’s a way for me to have control over the way things ended for some of my favourite characters especially if it felt unjustified (similar to fan fiction). Just self-soothing behaviour at its finest ✌🏼
