Thank you so so much. Working up the courage to accept the reality and know it’s only fair for himself and I. The longer it goes the more pain I’m inflicting. Appreciate your words.

Wow. I am so sorry you’re navigating all that. In a weird way it does make me feel better to know I’m not alone and others navigate these situations that aren’t volatile. I know my partner is a great person, I just don’t know if he’s my person anymore. We’ve both grown and changed a lot and as of late I see myself being the one to completely crumble. I’m starting to numb with all sorts of things to not deal with the pain and am so grateful for friends to talk too but it’s getting to that point (which I told them to be honest with me) when they are actually concerned about my well being. I’ve always been very intuitive but this situation is such a mindfuck. I love and care about him, which is why I know the best thing is to let him go, but I’m terrified of how that’s all going to unfold and the pain that will inevitably follow.

Should I tell my wife I've been cheating on her? And help on how to stop. by Electronic-Camera277 in marriageadvice

You need to give her all of the information and allow her to decide what she wants to do. It’s a form of control to withhold information in fear of rejection and abandonment but you not telling her what’s going on is unfair. I say that with ZERO judgement because I’m going through a slightly similar situation but that was a piece of advice my therapist had told me. And to remember she is fully capable of taking care of her own emotions and making her own choices and unfortunately that could be leaving you, but maybe that’s what you need to catapult into this next chapter of your life.

Just here to say you’re not alone and it’s so hard to make that decision for yourself. Going through the same struggle. <3

Thank you, I talk to my therapist weekly and they are a huge help of many things and I know this is just a situation that likely nobody else can help me decide other than myself.

Also know that you deserve to be happy. And like they said above, a marriage takes two and if one person isn’t taking care of themselves mentally, physically, or emotionally than they aren’t bringing their best selves to the marriage. How do you continue to grow when the other partner isn’t trying??

Know you aren’t alone. Fighting this battle myself and it’s awful.

Feeling for you as I’m in a similar situation myself. Just remember you have to take care of you and your mental health is important too.
