Hi all. So I'm moving here from the 3-6 month board. My exSO and I were together 9 years almost, met at age 15. Been living together for a little over 5 years. Had our daughter 5 months ago. found out yesterday he's been cheating on me for 3 weeks. He has a past of talking with a girl through texts and I took him back but now he actually slept with this girl. He says he's not happy and he hid it from me because he was scared I'd take our daughter from him. So anyway packed our stuff today and left,staying with family. Basically I'm a wreck. we were supposed to get married this year, he's the only man I've eve r loved, the only man I've ever slept with. I moved out of my parents house and into his. I have never been single really. My whole world just crumbled, I lost my dreams my plans my family and the man I thought I lovd all in a day. I'm Just really struggling trying to deal with the emotions and trying to process it all. I'm overwhelmed & I don't know how to function. My LO is the only thing keeping me going. I feel so betrayed. How can you love someone and do that to them. I need advice. What got you through this time. How do you do it on your own ? I'm so scared. TIA
Re: new here? struggling to cope
Hi. I'm new to this board too and my situation is very similar. I also started my long journey with my husband when I was 15. We have been married for 2 1/2 years now and he is also the only one I've been with and only one I've ever loved. I'm currently 21 and 14 weeks pregnant (no other children, haven't had my baby yet) and now that he's moved away to go to military school he's with a lot of young single people his age and he is living like he's single. I have a lot of reason right now to believe he's cheating on me as well and he recently told me that he doesn't love me anymore. We are trying to plan our divorce now. This may not help you much, because I'm not through it yet either, it all just came so suddenly. It's scary when you thought everything was so perfect before.
The girls on here have already been helpful with me with kind advice; I just wanted to let you know that I'm having all the same troubling feelings going on as you and my life feel like it just crumbled away too. I'm new here so I don't know how to message really but let me know if you need to talk.
I am also new here... not the same circumstances but having some trouble coping... my LO hasent arrived yet (Im 22 weeks)... Just spinning all in my head with finances and worry. But I am sure we can get through this together:-) ... and hopefully be alot happier.
I try to focus all my thoughts and time on my DS, but I know it can be hard at times. I had a similar situation, but we were only together for 4 years! I thought my world crumbled! It's been 7 months and it's still hard sometimes, but I know I'm doing a lot better than day 1!
I am very sorry...I agree, you need go pamper yourself or go shopping. This is a good time to focus on LO and you. God is good and always there for you. Praying always help... Stay Strong!
