been a rough day. my wife left me back in March, after she cheated on me the 2nd time. I thought we had gotten over that rough patch but we had moved up to a homestead at the start of winter and I just assumed that it was a big adjustment for her. found out later that the reasons things started to change so much was her moving on while staying with me. either way I ran into her at an event back in May, that was the last contact. but I heard some rumors and snooped. never do that. I didnt reach out to her just looked at social media for a few mins and it just hurt. she's going to concerts posting about the excitement of polyamory (big part of why we split, she wanted to be poly and im monogamous) and I just spiraled. trying not to cry and lose myself in depression.

Thts sad my ex cheated on me too and I thought we had fixed things. I thought we were stronger. But she was already moving on while I was still fighting for us.

hey i found out my partner had been seeing someone else while we were still together. I thought I was losing my mind replaying every moment wondering hat I missed. Seeing them happy and moving on while I was drowning in pain felt unbearable. But you know what? That pain taught me how stron I really am.

Man I feel this so deeply. My ex cheated on me too and I thought we had worked through it. I gave everything to rebuild trust only to find out later she was already halfway out the door.

that's a good long time ...i guess you know people just change or i feel they evolve into their own true selves you know...like i felt i dont want to be like my mum but im seeing some of her dna pushing through...i dont know this is off topic but yeah i feel that a persons deepest being comes through with time...its not about right or wrong ..just they want different things maybe

im sorry you are going through that. if it makes you feel any better i think you got of it sooner than later..it could have been more years of dissatisfaction and unhappiness on both sides if there is a mismatch in how you both see love and commitment. so ... just take care of yourself focus on yourself..sending u strength
