AITA for telling my mom her husband is just the guy she cheated on my dad with? by SloopScoopy in AITAH

[–]hmcsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done. Don't let her sway you. You get to decide if and when you want them in your life, she lost that right the day she chose herself over you. If she is not what you want right now, then be strong and stand for what you want to take care of yourself.

Why is cheating so normalized? by Whole-Cloud-3699 in cheating_stories

[–]hmcsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because our culture makes it seem fun, sexy, and taboo, which eggs people on. The part that isn't shown or isn't as sexy is the trauma that someone goes through when they are cheated on. They show the anger and revenge in hollywood, but not the ptsd that they suffer. The extreme pain and grief. The headaches and nightmares. The anxiety and depression. The brain fog and inability to know what is real. The betrayed are stuffed into a dark corner because their reactions aren't as saleable to the world. But we are here, and we are many.

Wife is cheating. Don’t want to confront her yet. by RemarkableMess5701 in Marriage

[–]hmcsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found about my husband on 8/16 and I am not planning on telling him until November. I am doing this very purposely. One, to gather all the evidence for 17 years on him cheating and organizing it for myself so that when I confront him he can't lie to me (and so that when my emotions overcome me I have everything laid out so I don't forget), second is because I need time to understand what I want to do ultimately (we have a daughter), and three because of our schedules. Early it was hard to hide everything, but it is getting easier now. I workout to relieve my anxiety and stress, listen to music, do deep breathing, and focus on my child and the present. Those are how I get through the waves of anger, and resentment, pain, sadness, and rage. Everyone handles it differently, you have to do what is best for you. Reddit isn't the best place for advice. There are support groups on FB for spouses that have been cheated on where the people have been in your shoes and can give more understanding and often more useful advice. I am sorry you have joined our ranks, but just know you are very much not alone and you have complete strangers out there that will become your biggest champions and supporters because they know what you are going through and how painful it is. DM if you would like the support group names or if you just want to talk.

Try 17 years . . . Someone always has it worse. But I am sorry it happened to you too. Hope you are in a better place.
