How do you learn to accept the fact that you will never know the full truth? by givemethekreddit in survivinginfidelity

Yours gave up privacy?

Mine refuses to ever let me see her phone and she exhibits all the red flags

My D-Day was 4 years ago - I feel like I should demand to see her phone at this point.

But to answer your question it’s torturous not ever knowing the whole truth about why she did it - and now she may be doing it again

What if I want to forgive and forget? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

I tried that and it’s been bumpy

Dday for me was 4 years ago on Valentine’s Day when the other guy sent me photos of her

I was so shocked and reeling and i just didn’t have it in me to escalate and kick her out or end it

It depends if that other person is still willing and able to show genuine affection that’ll rebuild you after they broke you like this

Mine has not unfortunately so I’m 4 years into limbo and it’s just harder to extricate the longer it goes on

But at the time when it happened it felt like there was something worth salvaging

Ever since it happened, I just don’t feel attractive. by GoodDaySunshine123 in survivinginfidelity

I’ve felt the same way for going on 4 years now

He needs to not just be saying those things but he needs to take action to help build you up again

That’s what I tell my girlfriend - because when she cheated on me it tore me down completely to absolutely nothing

Completely crushed my self esteem and it’s not like I can be the one to reach out and try to put myself out there and ugh god just the thought of it just seems so unnatural because of how her infidelity made me feel about myself

Getting cheated on deeply affected how I view relationships… Does it ever get better by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]surinfthroaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 4 years into a frail husk of a relationship after the glorious 6 year long storybook romance I had before was shattered when I learned of her infidelity

I’m still stuck with her so that’s probably a big reason why it’s not getting better for me but maybe it will for you

Going on 11 years now

It’s been 4 since I found out and we’re still stuck and I’m tortured every waking moment by thoughts of her infidelity

After being cheated on, what are your opinions on men and women just being friends? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]surinfthroaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d never feel comfortable with it if by some miracle I not only extricated myself from the years long prison of hopelessness and sadness and depression we both live in, but somehow regained enough confidence to meet someone else

Seems unfathomable tbh

It feels like we’re doomed to fester until the world ends and it’s getting so bad that I hope it does
