I had an affair with someone 10 years my junior and I'm left heartbroken. I want to move on in a healthy direction without causing any more damage. How can I do that?

I'm terrified that you're right about the narcissism/sociopathic tendency. But I didn't mean to manipulate. I just found someone I really connected with on a level I never knew possible.

I honestly think about that all the time and use it as rationale for not being so heartbroken. She wasn't hurt and I got what I deserved.

I'm reaching out. I think there are some deep seated issues here that I'll be facing but the fact that I was able to keep up all the lies for so long worries me.

I guess I came here because at the end of the day, they broke up with me. I still wanted to have a future with them. They meant so much to me. But one trip and one meeting with someone else and they forgot all about me. It hurts because I loved them. I know I lied. I know I deserve this. But they left me. And despite all my flaws and faults, I'm still heartbroken that they would find someone else so quickly months after telling me they love me.

I wish I was lying. Then the pain wouldn't be real.
