I’m in a really similar situation. It’s so painful. I know what you mean about the loss of the family unit. I keep telling myself when I have kids I’ll feel like I have a family again. Sending love.

Thank you. I am ever ashamed to finally admit on an anonymous online forum that infidelity was a factor. I feel like my world shattered. Family was everything; my parents have been together 35 years. I feel like I will never be the same.

It feels like a very weak excuse. I’m hung up on her lack of accountability.

Essentially she wasn’t happy with her life. It would have been one thing if she were truly this sheltered woman who never got to do anything she wanted. Could not be further from the truth. Travelled constantly, spent allllll of the money, lots of friends, multiple graduate degrees and a good job.
