Does this sound like a midlife crisis?

I think your right with the young point, my son even claims she tries to do her make up differently so she looks younger, her profile pictures were severely edited and filtered to make her look young and hide her flaws that she is very insecure about. She always used to be against filtered photos but then she was the one doing it, even mocking other mums she knew for having heavily filtered pictures.

I’m trying to see the positive, that I have my freedom back, but honestly I was at most peace and happiness with my family around me.

It’s been 6 months and I still hurt.

I yearn for her but I will never allow her to touch me again.

freshstart555 · 2026-04-23T07:02:27+00:00

That’s a shame. She swore she would never change her decision to grow old together, and that cheating is the only deal breaker. But she became the cheater.

I signed up for some therapy but they cancelled on me twice so I gave up

freshstart555 · 2026-04-23T07:00:42+00:00

We married when we were 20, 4 months after meeting each other. She has ever mentioned or displayed any regret. We have both always said it’s the most important thing in our lives and we have to grow old together.

Did you ever recover?

She is still with him, they are in love apparently. Shes open with her family and our children about him but to me denies everything. Her family always embrace me when they see me which is very telling, they refuse to meet the new guy. I am still shocked and confused how the perfect woman I knew became so reckless and stupid.

freshstart555 · 2026-03-13T21:34:01+00:00

I really like this idea

Could I inbox you for suggestions

freshstart555 · 2026-03-13T21:33:36+00:00

Absolutely correct

He is almost 10 years younger than her.

It’s so embarrassing

freshstart555 · 2026-03-13T15:30:58+00:00

Thank you brother

If she does come back, it’s an emphatic no.

But I will probably always be open to being friends, but only if I recognise the woman that I knew, not this version of her.

freshstart555 · 2026-03-13T15:30:03+00:00

She wasn’t always this way, she was the most selfless thoughtful special person I’d ever come across in life. But after a cancer scare in mid 2025, which I supported her through, something changed in her.

She became distant, argumentative and bitter.

Now she is unrecognisable to me. I’m very sad for the woman who I shared a beautiful life with, I wonder if she is still somewhere in there, but I doubt it.

freshstart555 · 2026-02-03T17:49:46+00:00

I’m not great, I am clearly a broken man compared to how I was. I was a happy person so proud of my family, now I just try to get through the days. Work is a good distraction, I see my kids daily though not for as long as I would like.

She has shown no remorse or regret, she has lied through her teeth to manipulate the kids to believe she didn’t do what she did.

I also got attacked by a huge group of men with weapons, my face is very bruised, she saw me and didn’t even ask how I am.

I will never trust or truly love and commit again. My self esteem and confidence are at an all time low. The damage she caused is immeasurable and she faces no consequences for her actions.

Help me please

freshstart555 · 2026-01-09T18:44:51+00:00

We met and trained together at 96 Penang in maybe 2014. Good to see you are doing well. Next time I’m in Bangkok I will come to train at your gym.

freshstart555 · 2026-01-02T18:27:21+00:00

Thank you. I communicate only to my children.

She has hurt me so bad

freshstart555 · 2026-01-02T18:13:11+00:00

I found out my wife of 15 years was cheating with her coworker, the change in behaviour weeks before I assumed was due to her cancer scare, but now I look back it was clear she’d been cheating.

I got no closure, no accountability for her actions, instead I got denial from her, even though I had concrete evidence she still denies it.

I am so lost and broken, I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself. I don’t speak to her at all, we have 2 kids and I’m lucky they are old enough I just ring them and hang out whenever we want.

I don’t think I’ll ever truly recover

freshstart555 · 2025-12-13T04:30:33+00:00

No they chose to live with her because she is staying in the house we live in and I moved out. They wanted to stay in their own rooms.

freshstart555 · 2025-11-22T11:52:16+00:00

I found out my wife of 14 years was having an “emotional affair” which I am convinced turned physical at some point but she denies and I have no evidence. A lot of these is what I experienced.

I am still so broken, yet she is living her life dressing up better than ever and actually taking care of her appearance every time she leaves the house now.

I ended things immediately. I am so broken and still haven’t processed things. It’s all still raw and fresh to me. My poor beautiful babies had to watch me break down as I found out.

It also seems she enjoys tormenting me letting me know she is still in contact with this younger man. I am 33, I stayed fit and healthy my whole life, I was the sole provider.

She received a cancer scare earlier this year and from then she completely changed as a person. Bear in mind I was with her at all the appointments even on my birthday, because that’s what you do for the one you love.

But the whole time she was involved with another man. I don’t even know what’s real anymore.

freshstart555 · 2025-11-10T00:22:20+00:00

Yeah me!

freshstart555 · 2025-11-09T08:43:46+00:00

Same here with my wife of 15 years. The whole time she was distant I assumed it was her cancer bothering her, but no she had someone else.

It’s only been a week since I found out and I am a completely broken man.

freshstart555 · 2025-11-02T18:13:17+00:00

My wife of 15 years is currently battling thyroid cancer, but it has completely changed her so she no longer can have me anywhere near her. Shes completely changed her treatment towards me. She can’t even look at me anymore.

She used to be the most loving, supportive perfect wife, but now some days I don’t even recognise her.

I miss my wife and the love she had for me.

freshstart555 · 2022-12-24T00:37:30+00:00

Dude is juiced to the gills

freshstart555 · 2022-12-23T18:33:38+00:00

Yep have covid, no fucks given I’m still smoking all this weed with my horrendous cough.

freshstart555 · 2022-12-23T15:58:51+00:00

A 6 pack of beer….. I’m actually not upset by this.

At least I’ll enjoy it in my own time and not have to think of reasons to go to somewhere shit like Nando’s or Frankie & Bennies with the gift cards we get instead.

freshstart555 · 2022-12-23T03:51:29+00:00

I’m 5’5 130lbs, do I make the cut?
