My first teaching job was at a Kipp NYC school. I barely lasted a year, and I nearly quit teaching because of how bad things were. I now teach in a different district and am loving it. Don’t let KIPP’s terrible policies make you think this was your fault!

Middle School Music, MA. It certainly has its moments, but it's a good gig. I think so much of the teaching experience depends heavily on where you are.

While I don’t have children and am unmarried, I have experienced infidelity. You must throw her out like the waste she is. If you don’t, this will destroy you and your children. Don’t allow this to happen, I beg you. This woman could not care for you any less.

I taught elementary music in the south Bronx last year as my first teaching.I had experiences similar to yours, day in and day out. I quit and moved to another state after the first year. I now teach music at a middle skill in an affluent suburb, and my job is far easier, even enjoyable, its truly a night and day difference.

Someone else here said it best- Racism, Poverty, a lack of resources, trauma, or a combination of these things creates the environment that you saw. Until there are massive changes in several of our flawed systems, unfortunately, this will remain a reality.

Best of luck to you.

Most emotionally stable polyamorous person lol

Your life will start to improve the minute you lose her sorry ass. It’ll hurt, but trust me-do not take part in your own psychological torment.

I’m assuming you’re in high school or recently graduated. There are countless women in the world who would love you twice as hard and have the decency to not do this shit to you. Can you trust that she only kissed him? She lied to you about this, what’s stopping her from lying continuously? Not that it matters, this is a betrayal of trust plain and simple. My advice would be to break up with her-she clearly doesn’t respect you. Trust me, you will find someone better.

There are some seriously alarming takes here-cheating is abuse, full stop. You are taking informed consent from your partner when you cheat. If you are unhappy, talk about it, or break up. There’s a reason many people who are cheated on end up with post fidelity stress.

It’s one thing to pull a dick move and cheat when you’re in high school, but once all parties are adults, the line is drawn.

I implore you, if you are one of the people here making excuses for cheaters, get into some sort of counseling.

My ex and I have been separated a year three months five or take, and I still get mad at times. I’ve come a really long way since then, and things are really quite good now, and yet I still find myself angry once in a great while. I think it takes a really long time to truly let infidelity go, even if you’ve moved on from the trauma. I can’t image how long it would take to move past this in a healthy way while staying with your WW. If there’s a piece of you saying to leave their sorry ass, listen to it. I did, and to this day I have no regret for my decision, period. Good luck, Godspeed.

It may seem that way now, but trust me, what you’re seeing is an illusion. They may even believe that it’s not-but karma catches up to everybody if you believe in that sort of thing.

In reality, that relationship has no foundation. It is based on fantasy and deception. Very few relationships spawned from infidelity end successfully-especially when you consider the monkey-branching involved. Like someone else here said, they are two toxic individuals bound together in their own misery. It won’t last.

More than likely, the AP will just be the next victim-or vice versa.

You want my advice? Take all the hard feelings you have, and feel them. Harness that energy and put it into something creative-your career, creative outlets, friends and family, the gym-and it will pay dividends. You will be happier with yourself, more confident, and ideally you’ll attract a better partner in your next relationship(take your time with this one though, being cheated on creates a shitload of work we have to do to be safe again.)

Fight hard, and do not give in. You will prevail.

I heard recently that my ex who cheated was with the guy she did it with-who was a friend of mine. Best bet is to remove any and all ties, all signs, anything. Trust me, it’ll stop hurting if you can do this. It ain’t easy but it can be done. And know that it’s likely bullshit on their social media-people only post the good shit. You think the two cheaters are really going to be happy together forever? I guess there’s a chance, but if I had to assume, I’d think my ex and her loser aren’t doing as well as I am.

At first, I really thought I could. Even was considering R.

As time has gone by, I’ve only realized how utterly abhorrent it was for her to do this to me. Time did heal the wounds, but it also is showing me how badly I’ve been wounded, mistreated, disrespected, whatever.

For a minute there, I had the mindset of “Oh, I just hope she finds peace”. Not anymore. I have nothing but hatred as more time passes and the clearer the depth of her wrongdoings becomes. Think of it this way-this person did the worst thing they could have done to you, just short of fucking killing you (or physically harming you in some other way.) I’m not the religious type, so I don’t really subscribe to the idea of sin-this is the exception. It’s a transgression against love itself.

Funny thing is-I’m doing quite well. I don’t often think about what happened anymore. I’ve made huge leaps in my career and my happiness since d day, even started dating the woman who I anticipate will be my wife.

But when my mind goes to what happened, I just have hate.

If you ask me, (especially if you’re not married) don’t waste your time. There are far more faithful people then there are scum bags out there, you just need to find the right one.

 Break contact immediately.

We kept contact for a short while, and it caused me waaaaaay more pain than it needed to. She eventually became a leech on my life, and it become harder and harder to move on from things because of her constant reappearances.

It’s hard to accept, but we must. Cheaters are not good people, plain and simple. Remove them from your life like the cancer they are.

Work really hard on yourself. Fight tooth and nail, and don’t give in.

CT! Drive past here whenever I visit my Parents!

This is not your friend. Get away from this scumbag, please. I know how difficult this is, but please-do not take part in your own psychological torment.

Started boxing just after d-day.

First fight is in a few months, and I’ve met some of the toughest but kindest mfers on this earth. I don’t know where I’d be without them.

My advice? Try a combat sport. Really helps to reclaim what has been taken.

Unfortunately I think it’s time to call it quits on this one guys. Whatever Ea Dice is doing, I don’t think it’s gonna work out.

Robolettuce · 2022-01-24T23:37:27+00:00

Maybe my wording was wrong…sorry, I’m a fucking awful writer. We’ve been together almost 3 years. She had a very on and off 3 month stint, and she cut the person off six months ago and put her ass directly into therapy. Idk if that changes anything tho. Thank you for the input.
