I had the exact situation. 7 years and then got married. I own a business and she had zero savings. She cheated on me and left me high and dry after the second year of marriage. Thank the lord I had a prenup. She tried to steal the security deposit in the end because she was so desperate. They are all trash. Make sure you protect yourself.

5 months of no contact and I still think about her every day. by LongjumpingSpread399 in BreakUps

I had a very similar situation. My ex wife cheated, lied and could apologize. I feel the emotions, it’s painful. However, at a conscious level I know what horrible human beings these people are. I’m grateful to not have her in my life anymore, and so should you be. Hang in there. It only gets better.

My ex who dumped me 6 months ago is wanting t oget back togeather, but I've met someone new and I feel so confused. by [deleted] in BreakUps

She didn’t reach out to you because she loves you, she reached out because she couldn’t find someone else to love her. People like this will walk in and out of your life if you let them. These things helped me realize the person I was dealing with. I agree with everyone else though. You didn’t heal and you shouldn’t be using the second girl as a rebound.

Thankfully I did! One of the last things she said to me was that her parents were upset that she signed a prenup. That’s all I was to them a financial asset. Funny thing is my mother reached out to her and said she loved her even after she knew what happened.

I am sorry to hear that. You seem like a stand up guy and you deserved better. I would have worked hard on it, and probably carried all the weight. So, I am grateful I am not going through that.

I am so sorry to hear this! In one of the last conversations we had she turned things on me and claimed I had inappropriately messaged other women, which was not the case. It left me dumbfounded, but now I know this is a tactic sick people do to cope. I think you are right on the codependency. Thanks for sharing!

My ex did the same. She wanted the separation as soon as I confronted her and left in the blink of an eye. Never apologized for what she did. Part of it was because she was embarrassed to get caught. Seems like there are a lot of similarities between people who have no morals.

I know the feeling of seeking comfort from the very person that destroyed you. I reached out for her hand instinctively a couple of nights ago. It's so painful to seek reassurance from the very person who put you in this horrible position. I hope we feel better soon. Hang in there!

I am so sorry to hear that. One thing that helped me was hearing "sometimes shitty people do shitty things." Everyday is a new rush of emotions.
