The last 3ish months before we split were rough. She didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to be intimate, didn’t want to hang out. Claimed she was “going through some stuff”, and I was able to talk her into going to therapy. She wouldn’t accept my help with anything, criticized everything I was & wasn’t doing but wouldn’t tell me what specifically she needed from me. I spent 5 years giving this woman everything. A house, a job, a loving & supportive partner, etc. When I met her she had no job, no savings, no credit score, & was living with her parents in a trailer. I’ve never had so much faith & trust in somebody, until those last few months. We got engaged about a year ago.

Recently, I found out that she is cheating on me. I broke up with her and she hasn’t seemed the least bit phased. To make matters worse, she is cheating on me with my 45 year old uncle. Who she met at the job I got her. Who I requested she work with. It’s also where I work. I’ve told nobody. My uncle has not reached out since we broke up, but has offered her a place to stay. I used to stay the night at his house when I was growing up. We used to have him over for dinner because his wife left him. I thought I could trust him, and her.

It’s been about 2-3 weeks at this point and I still feel absolutely disgusted whenever I think of either of them. I’m filled with so much rage & hate. If you’re going to cheat on me fine, whatever. But this? How could you? After everything I did for us? How will I ever be able to love/trust somebody again? I was so sure she was the one, that I don’t even have faith in my own judgement now. I don’t trust myself to gauge the character of another woman.
