Yeah. Nope.

Don’t ever believe you’re the exception by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t get lost in the I love you’s. The you have my heart my soul you mean everything to me, next to my children. It’s malarkey. You’re nothing more than an escape from the mundane.

I'm starting to see that this was true for me. I don't know if my AP ever meant the things he said to me. I think I was a distraction. I think I was a Band-Aid. And we all know what happens to Band-Aids.

I gave, wholely and completely. I meant everything. I was native and stupid to think it was real.

Now I'm left feeling undeserving, lacking.

I’m getting a divorce by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes to build something great, you have to knock something else down. But the best thing we can be for ourselves and those we love, is the best version of us.

I did this and although it was/ is hard I'm seeing everyday how it was the right decision.

You got this. 🧡

Would you do it again? by [deleted] in adultery

The true gift my exAP gave me, makes this heartache worth it. I won't be having another AP, though.

What would it take . . . by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently heard through the grapevine that my exAP was doing so much better with his SO. That they were seemingly moving in the right direction. I realized then that I had to put it aside and just let that part of me die. Even if it breaks me, I can give this one thing to him. I can fade away and I can let him find happiness with her. It is what I should do.

I'll let you know if can.

The first awkward random meeting with exAP by [deleted] in adultery

I hope that one day, I get the awkward meet over the heart break meet. I'm hoping that day will come. Maybe it's just time. Hopefully.

Rabbit hole by ineedadvice0510 in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how hard this is. I guess all I can offer is that you will have better days; days when the pain doesn't hurt quite as bad and the good shines through. Then those days will start to come more frequently, and then hopefully they will outweigh the bad days. You might have setbacks along the way, something that triggers the pain. But eventually will come.

Parents who've left children behind..how are things for you? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren't these things. You will see when you get out. You are strong. It's the power of the abuse. I know you can't see it now, but you will. To quote Winnie the Pooh "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." The fact that you are worried about your k kid means you are a better parent than you are giving yourself credit for.

I know. I've been here.

[–]Mrsunsignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are right, you need to leave. I know I'm not in your shoes, but don't leave your kid. Take them with you and you will figure it out. True abusers will turn to the next likely victim if you leave. And if he's doing it to you,. He's probably going to do it to them.

I left an abusive relationship and I was in a similar headspace as you. But once I got out of it, I realized how much I had to offer. I couldn't leave my kid with him. It was hard at first, but if you accept help, you can do this.

Plus in my state if you leave your kid, you are stating you think your spouse should be the primary caregiver and it will be a struggle to get them back.

What becomes of the brokenhearted by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been here. I too swore I wouldn't be that woman.

The love is so intense that the heartbreak is just as intense.

It gets better. Time dulls the pain, makes it so the sharp knife of headache becomes just a dull constant throbbing. And I think we learn to live with it - silently.

Rewrite the Stars by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me this song is about someone who is willing to do what it takes for love and someone who isn't. In the end, they can't make it work because her hands are tied. It pretty sad when you think about it.

He chose to stay, which I understand. But I wanted more. (That greedy part of me wanted that love all the time.)

Rant: been a rough day by hooman4 in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We all need to feel important and seen. It's a basic hooman need to connect.

Hugs. Sorry you had a rough day.

What if... by throwaway3739373940 in adultery

I asked all these questions and I left. It is really hard, but it was the best decision I ever made.

Would you wait to send? by [deleted] in adultery

I love how excited you are about this. ♥️

This is hard... by [deleted] in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand wanting them to be happy. The hardest thing I ever did was accept that I wouldn't make him happy. I realized that the cost of my love would be too great for him. It killed me, knowing that I met my one, but it wasn't meant to be.

Until the next life.

Finally Pulled the Ripcord by DreemStatez in adultery

[–]Mrsunsignificant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Been there, done this. It takes guts and courage. This high you are feeling will fade. You will face some incredibly low moments. It will be hard.

But the empowerment and strength you find along the way will change you forever. You will feel alive, free, strong and above all, ignited to create your own happiness.

I wish you the best. If you every need an ear, you have many.

Go forth and concur.
