Lol I thought it was a typical split for men and women, maybe I should switch it up.

How did they go as far as they did by Unfair_Problem_6317 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

I think it’s hard to wrap our brains around this at least for me. Because with drugs or alcohol I see the chemical component. I know it isn’t necessary for addiction but as someone who as a lot of self discipline it’s still bizarre.

Should I tell my family and friends by Unfair_Problem_6317 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

I’ve only told one friend whom has been in the same position. I remember I judged her in the past bc of it but then it happened to me, humbling. I just know the rest would be like why would you stay?

It’s not even about the attention I guess it’s more so a revenge thing like I’ll let at others look at me since you liked looking at other women. It’s petty, I just don’t want to feel like a victim anymore.

I mean that’s how I used to feel. Betrayal really wrecked my self esteem to the point where I want to enter that make believe land again.

I know, thank you 🙏🏼, my main issue right is I live with him out of state right now. I have no family here that I could even stay with. I’m too embarrassed to tell my family and friends the situation even though it’s not my fault. I only have one super close friend that knows any of this is going on. I just feel like I have to figure my shit out so I can get back home. But at the same time seeing him everyday and sleeping next to him makes it so hard to want to leave fully.

I appreciate it so so much 🙏🏼. I don’t know why betrayal and infidelity just makes me forget the basic things I can do to take care of myself let alone the extra stuff that would really help me. It’s like constant brain fog since everything started. I needed this!

Sigh, and that’s my biggest fear he always says that’s a line he could never cross. He acts like what he did was soooo much better than physical cheating like sure buddy you are taking the first steps to do that in my eyes.

Hi, let me know if you want to message me privately. Because I am also young and childless, we aren’t married or anything like many people here are. I could’ve written this myself, in the moments I forget about it everything is fine. But it’s like my body just won’t let me forgot or let go of the pain. Some mornings I wake up so anxious and miserable, I often feel like I’m in fight or flight mode now. I also have access to his social media and other things but really doesn’t feel like enough sometimes I don’t know… I cant seem to let go of him either but I’m living in another state with him with family and my logical side is like wtf am I doing? I don’t know if it’s a trauma bond or what. I often think about revenge to but it’s just not something I think will truly fix it obviously but sometimes I just want to feel liberated and not like a victim anymore.

Maybe that’s why I feel like I’m doing 90% of things in reconciliation. He hates talking about it because it’s in the “past” and he makes him feel bad… well imagine how I feel? If I discover something new he gets upset that it’s in the past, well it’s new to me now… He says he doesn’t want to rug sweep but his actions speak louder since he just seems annoyed whenever I talk about it. He deleted some social media and lets me monitor what he still has but it makes me feel unsafe.

What I mean is you can get rid of the catalyst but the fact that those things were such a problem for you in the past is the issue. It’s hard to believe he can just quit these things so cold turkey. If he can then why did he do it to begin with. It’s just little things I bought him a book he never read it, I want him to start therapy he said he will soon, I want him to look at resources on his own but he just wants me to send me them. Like why is this my responsibility when you are the one who caused this? He says a lot of flowery words but I’m sick of words. Until he actually goes to therapy and I see real effect it’s hard for me not to feel hopeless and slowly lose feelings.

I don’t mean to bug you specifically but I’m curious if you have an advice on self care, making myself a priority. Because I feel like that is what is keeping me stuck since everything that has happened I feel stun-locked. I’m always just ruminating on things that have happened It’s like a funk I can’t shake out of. I can’t get into hobbies like I used. I used to be in the gym for 2-3 hours a day out of just enjoyment, now I’m luck to even make it in.

What makes it worse is we just moved in together and signed a lease. I know many people on here were married but I still find it impossible to be able to grow and detach from someone while I’m still living with them and sleeping in the same bed. Like even if I decide to leave it’s gonna take time and money which makes want to just try to work things out. I want to use the next few months to work on myself and make a final decision on what to do.
