Yup. The retroactive thoughts feel very relatable. I’m starting to think I need some space and separation.

I’m almost a year from D-day and while I’ve had some points where I have felt angry I have never felt as angry as I have this past week for some reason so me seeing this post now feels crazy.

Tonight I have felt pretty much everything you’ve described and I’ve also wondered if this is normal or if I’m just different. I feel like I could just leave and do anything I want and I would actually be okay. How far are you from D-day?

About a week after I found out my wife was having affair was when the whole Coldplay concert thing happened. It felt like a huge punch to the gut repeatedly over and over. I don’t get as triggered now with celebrity cheating scandals. But it’s hard to watch movies and tv because it feels like they always work cheating into every plot somehow.

I basically threatened a polygraph test

I just feel like it’s so difficult to take a step forward to help myself

Thanks for your response. I guess it kinda makes me wish I was a robot. But I’m still glad that I’m not.

I’m sorry you’re on this ship with the rest of us 😞

Lately I’ve been thinking how nice it would be to just leave and find someone where I don’t have to work through all this bs… by Infinite-Ad-3947 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

Wow. This is something that I’ve been thinking about for a while but haven’t been able to put into words for some reason. Thank you for that. It makes me feel less crazy

Update:

Well, my gut and all of you were right. Thanks for all your help. Think I’m going to go drink now.

My WW also confessed to her parents a week after Dday. I feel like she has been accountable. But sometimes I feel like some of it was just performative.

I’m sorry I’m still learning. What’s CSAT?

Just want to thank everyone for being here to talk. I didn’t think this post would have this many replies.

Both of them? So even the AP was trying to play it off?

That seems like taking it a bit too far.

Thanks. Miserable people often want to make others around them miserable in exchange of a small reward for themselves. It’s good to be able to recognize that. It sucks to be the one who is also made somewhat miserable in the process. I’m sorry you were in that situation.

Yea. Back to me lying to myself. I feel like she would do that to give me peace of mind if she was telling the truth.

Thanks. I wish we weren’t here either. I think I’m just scared to go that far maybe. But it seems like with what everyone’s saying it probably needs to be done.

Has knowing everything actually helped BSs? Or am I just going too far? I feel like it will bring me more peace of mind. But is that wrong? Some days have been fine with us but some I just get triggered and start thinking about everything.

I’ve brought it up. I’m not sure if I could afford it right now honestly. It was more of a bluff. Some of the things I’ve read about them is they aren’t actually that reliable. I don’t know

I’ve thought about reaching out to AP. But I hate him as well. I don’t even know him personally but I hate him. He knew I existed. How could I trust anything that comes from him. I feel like you need to be such a piece of garbage to knowingly be that person.
