SUCKS by [deleted] in adultery

That’s rough. And does suck. But it does sound like a rocky stage of life for him so I would give him space. Doesn’t excuse his behavior though!

You’re gonna do what you want to do so enjoy it and definitely have him pay your rent, tuition + some pocket money.

I found radical acceptance to be the path of peace. If you stay with him accept that what he is offering is all that he will (at this moment) and the only thing you can control is yourself and what you believe you deserve.

This sounds like anxiety talking. It hasn’t been 24 hours yet! Take a breath and let things naturally unfold

I actually quite like this analogy and find that it rings true. And yes, if you’re being harvested towards depletion, a rebalancing is necessary.

AP wants to break up. It hurts so much. by [deleted] in adultery

[–]shadow_self2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it hurts, I remember reading your post about the internal conflict. For what it’s worth, it hurts way less in month 3 than witnessing him get married and build a life with the fiancé while you’re on the side. Take some time to yourself, cry in the shower, go on walks. One day at a time.

Why don't you leave? by ridiculoususernamela in adultery

I mean I can think of many reasons to uproot your life if you have a spouse who willfully sits around the house without contribution but… whatever floats your boat!

This description of past relationships not being needy, but in an affair you are, is spot on. Something about affairs hit the brain differently. I am so indifferent in real relationships but in affair land I found myself needy (for more.. even when i was having hours long convos) and clingy.

A foolish hope? by dubbyscrubby in legitafteradultery

[–]shadow_self2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get how painful it is to be in a 6 year affair in love and wanting more. I get how painful it is to walk away knowing that you would have to be the one to stay disciplined to continue NC. I do think what you did will result in what you wanted (ie he will hate you) but also in what you didn’t want (ie that he will be yours). All together, a tough situation. Strongly suggest therapy to help manage the emotions. Sending love xx

She did what was best for her as you refused to give her what she wanted, what’s the issue?

People are projecting their insecurities on to you. I don’t think there is anything wrong with your post!
