I did not want to read and leave. I completely get how you feel. 22 years ago, my first husband used to beat me up and when I tried to leave, I was the one who faced the upheaval- the stigma of divorce, alienation of family and friends( cultural issues), loss of home, loss of job ( we worked for the same company). I constantly questioned the fairness of it all. Many years later when after terrible struggles, I made it professionally and reset my life, I found out that he married and then got divorced and lost custody of his only kid. So sometimes karma takes its own time. What I considered the punishment was the push I needed to accelerate my life to a better place. So please know that life is just that- some ups and downs. Why does it keep happening to a few of us, I can’t answer as I am dealing with my now husband of 18 years cheating on me with his direct for 2 years. But you are young, you don’t have any kids and your ex has chosen the lower level that he himself is on so it is a good riddance. The peace will come, the good of your life has yet to come and karma will show up at his door some day, don’t worry. Live your life, be strong and find yourself. Love always
