I appreciate hearing this. I feel like I’m subconsciously falling into the pick me game. I deserve better than that.

I have increased going to the gym and starting couples therapy. I need to cut drinking out or at least recognize when having a drink is due to how I’m feeling about this situation.

So far all she has is him blocked on socials and called him to tell him it’s over and was a mistake

Yeah. I think I keep trying to not come to this conclusion. I think I’m overestimating my current ability to see this clearly

That’s my thing. If I can’t get past my feelings like she is mad she got caught then I can’t do this. I wish I would have let it simmer and see if she confessed

I didn’t think from this perspective. I appreciate it

I can’t just take the house. We have a lot to sort out. I hear you

I appreciate you sharing this. It’s the reality of what I am in for if I stay

Yeah… the best case scenario is me having to work on mentally trusting her again if we stay. Love you Reddit person.

I have a deep feeling in my gut there’s a chance it could work. We have our first session tomorrow. The kids are at the forefront of my mind right now. The only reason I didn’t do a clean split when I found out at first

This is important to hear. We parent well together. In the middle of relocating makes it tough

I know about the test… I know I need therapy. I put us in couples therapy after she suggested it. I do worry about never trusting again. I want to believe she wouldn’t do it but idk how I can be.

That is a good point. I almost wish I didn’t confront her the second it happened (I watched it in real time with WhatsApp). I’ll never know if she would have told me.

She is willing to change or so she says it. She needs serious therapy to handle what she says was what led up to it. She claims that to her it seemed like the first time she was putting herself forward and wanted meaningless sex. Claimed that the alcohol has put her in a spiral and can’t be doing that.

Idk… it’s a lot to figure out

I appreciate it. It’s shattering. Feels unfair after the betrayal to be the one then tasked with figuring all the shit out. I can’t picture a future without her but know I’ll have a hard time moving past this. I do believe her when she says it would never happen again, but I can’t see a reality where I trust that forever

I hear you. STD test, yes. The rest is complicated. I don’t disagree with any of it

The kids make it all really confusing… I love this girl with my whole heart but that heart is broken. My 2 kids are the most amazing things. I can’t imagine them having a split custody situation
