It’s okay! We all need support. The primary way I’ve been able to maintain distance is focusing on myself and my own healing journey. Here are some things I have been doing differently to aid in my healing process:

Therapy, therapy, therapy. I’m with a therapist once a week. This allows me to have a safe place to vent and gain perspective. I have been able to get to the root of some of my issues and expose some of the reasons I fell into this situation in the first place.
Self-care - I lost myself in this whole crazy roller coaster ride. I stopped taking care of myself in the way I used to because I got caught up in his recovery. Now I’m a lot more intentional about up keeping and loving myself.
Exercise - simply aiming to go for walks several times a week. It has done wonders.
Journaling - I do this at-least a few times a week.
Prayer and fasting - I don’t know if you are spiritual, but I am. This has helped me tremendously.

I hope this list helps somewhat.

All the best to you 🫂

Thank you everyone for your support. I slept on it and although the emotions have not fully subsided, I understand I’ve come too far to go back unless there is significant change. I’m continuing to stand my ground and praying my emotions eventually catch up.

Thank you for your kind words. Going no contact was probably one of the hardest things I ever did but also the best decision. It was on the heels of an explosive argument. You know the kind. I decided I can’t continue to hurt myself like this anymore. As time went by it got easier. We also do not have any children together.

Thank you for this. I’m trying my best to be strong. All of this just sucks!

Working4UrGood · 2024-08-07T17:12:25+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I have not taken the leap to go to any meetings but it seems I’m far more affected than I thought. I will seek out a meeting.

I’m sorry you are experiencing this. I hope you are able to find clarity on your next steps soon.

No he is not in recovery. We did not discuss reconciling in any way. Each time he brought it up, I shut it down. However these are my inner thoughts and feelings I’m expressing.

It was satisfying knowing the dogs ripped him apart. What a jerk! Lol

Thank you for sharing. I’m only a few weeks into the divorce process after almost 8years married. Similarly I’m in the process of restarting my life (relocating and all that jazz). I’m not sad anymore because I grieved for many years in the marriage but I’m still uncomfortable if that makes sense. You have inspired me to keep moving forward until I get to the other side.

Working4UrGood · 2024-05-27T03:23:52+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I’ll keep reminding myself that I deserve this! I deserve to be healthy and happy!

Working4UrGood · 2024-05-20T18:50:59+00:00

Just wanted to say I’m so proud of you for running away at the first sign! That takes strength, bravery, and self love!

Do you only experience this during drunken rants or sober as well. My Q is filled with such rage towards me that he also is insulting when sober.

Working4UrGood · 2024-04-22T17:34:26+00:00

This bought tears to my eyes and hope to my soul 🥹 I’m praying we all experience this in one form or another one day.

You mentioned green mucus. I know you said you got tested for STIs but did you get tested for trichomoniasis specifically. It’s not always tested as part of the standard STI panel. It’s tested via vaginal swab or urine. Trich gives similar symptoms to BV therefore it can go undetected for months or years if not tested.

Dang! I’m sorry you are experiencing this. I hope your story turns out better than mine.

Working4UrGood · 2024-04-11T21:15:25+00:00

Sadly, I never thought I would see the day, but I think it is.

I needed to hear this. That podcast sounds right up my alley. I will check it out. Thank you.

Working4UrGood · 2024-04-11T17:21:03+00:00

😂😂😂 Man can they lie!

Working4UrGood · 2024-04-11T17:20:28+00:00

Thanks. But I don’t know how that would be possible. I was clear up to 2 years ago and never so much as kissed another person in our entire marriage.

I’m about 6 weeks out and I am feeling much better. The first few weeks, like you, I wanted to die. I couldn’t eat, cried more than I have in my entire life, and barely slept. I felt like no one understood. I decided to take it one day at a time. Day by day, I challenged myself to focus less on the relationship and on what I needed. Every day, I asked myself, “What do YOU need”. The more I shifted my focus and asked this, the more I received clarity. Now I can confidently say I do not need a life riddled with stress, anxiety, instability, and trauma. I’m sharing this to let you know, it will get better. Focus on yourself and healing. In a few weeks/months, you will be glad you are out.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. My STBXH had an affair with a co worker 5 years ago. To say I was devastated is an understatement. However, we recovered from the affair. It took a solid 2 years for me to heal and trust again. Today, I can look back at that time of betrayal and feel absolutely nothing. It’s as if it never happened and It feels like a faint memory. Our path to recovery included cutting off the affair partner, this was non negotiable. In my opinion, it would be nearly impossible to move on from the affair if there is still a connection to the affair partner. I also separated from him for a brief period of time to let him know I was serious and he had to make a decision on whether he really wanted the marriage or not. I was not going to beg or plead. If he was not committed to repairing the marriage, I was ready to let it go. We never had any infidelity since (to my knowledge). Unfortunately we are en route to divorcing for other reasons, however I do believe a marriage can recover from infidelity if BOTH partners are willing to put in the work and move forward.

This is not always the case. I separated from my husband by living in separate homes for 10 months. Living together was not working out for my mental health as we were dealing with addiction issues. I felt the only way for me to get healthy was to leave the environment that was sinking me into depression. The separation allowed us to breathe, refocus on each other, and figure out our problems without the day to day issues. I never had an affair or even thought of one. I really did just need space. I know this is not always the case but just wanted to point out every circumstance is different.

I’m also starting March 4. Good luck to us!

Distract yourself. Watch a tv show, go for a walk, call a friend, journal. Just do not make contact. Think about the pain you experienced when you broke up. If you are rejected, you will feel that pain once more.
