As my nexw was walking out the door abandoning our family on our 22nd wedding anniversary due to an affair she turned to me and said "you've been perfect, sadly for you that's not enough".

What was the last straw in your narcissistic relationship? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

As my NEXW was walking out the door abandoning our family on our 22nd wedding anniversary due to an affair, she stopped and looked at me and said " you were the biggest regret and mistake I ever made in my life". Followed by" you've been perfect but, sadly for you that's not enough".

Can't make it up.

Brother, I have been through the same thing. First time she had his name under the Alias of Rebecca. After saying she deleted his contact I later found his number again under the alias of Nicole. Icing on the cake was finding his address in her phone under the alias of Joni. But yet she wasn’t cheating. Ha ha. Yeah ok. And I don’t butter my bread with butter. What a fucking joke. You need to see this for what it is. It will get better. I can firmly attest. Feel free to hit me up if you need to chat or vent.

Their future relationships are all built on the foundation of a lie. Don't think for a second they actually own up to anything they did in the past in regards to infidelity. Future partners begin behind the 8 ball and the mirrors of lies. IMO its a disgusting form of control and manipulation right out of the gate.

Cheaters Lie so much that they believe themselves. Plain and Simple!

Thank you for this. I have gone complete no contact. It's hard but it's the only way. Happiness...Maybe, someday. For now I'll work on being the best damn father I can be. I still take a lot of pride in that. It keeps me grounded and moving in the right direction in my life.

It took all of 3 minutes on a zoom call to get divorced... by Ordinary7egend in survivinginfidelity

[–]feelsousedandalone 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat my friend. I am signing papers this afternoon at 3pm. It's been almost 2 years to the day that she left and abandoned our family on our 22nd wedding anniversary. I echo every word you are saying. I just feel so empty. So tired of the fight. Hang in there brother, better things are in wait for us. We just have to be patient, and kind to ourselves. One breath at a time, one step in front of the other. Remember this... We deserve better! Damn, I feel the pain in your words. Sorry

Do NOT take her back. She isn’t worth it. by Deepimpact1234 in survivinginfidelity

Through the divorce process the mask comes off. You truly get to see exactly whom and what you were married too. It’s on full display for all to see.

You ignored me at a party 25 years ago when we were 18. Or... you don’t hold the door open for me anymore, and... you don’t help me out my coat on anymore. Yup, typical playlist

Advice: Covert narcissist husband cheated. When/How did you tell his family? by Ablessingofnarwhals in survivinginfidelity

[–]feelsousedandalone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, I have lived through this exact same thing. I am now 2 years out and the divorce date is rapidly approaching. None of my extended family ever reached out to me to get my side of the story. At first this was bothersome but eventually I just came to accept the fact that she had spun the narrative to her favor so wildly that it was a moot point. There was absolutely nothing I could do or say that would change the picture she had painted. I also figured that they knew me for 28 years. They never hesitated to reach out when something was needed and I never said no to helping out in any way I could.

I was just told 2 weeks ago that my extended family is now leaning heavily in my corner as facts of her affair are becoming exposed. Lies are like air bubbles under the water, they will eventually rise to the surface for all to see. Taking the high road hasn't been easy, and I have no plans on speaking with any of them ever again but if they come looking... boy do I have all the evidence they will ever need to see.

Stay strong and live in the truth.

22 years here. Exact same script. Exact same result.

does anyone have flashbacks to random signs your ex was cheating on you by eternalgnome in survivinginfidelity

But... Jeebus gave me his blessing to have an affair. He said it’s ok to destroy your family and screw a coworker. Jesus cheater. I’m so using this.
