He didn’t just betray you, he betrayed your son. Sorry, incredible fathers don’t destroy their kid’s families like that. Reserve the word for the ones who really deserve it. Best to you.

I agree with you. My husband cheated on me a year ago. I tried to work on our marriage and he simply minimized it. He currently told me he didn't love me anymore and he stopped loving me 4 years ago. He asked for a divorce. I feel so had for our 2 children. They're the happiest kids. I'm so mad at him for breaking apart our family

Its very hard to accept that love sometimes ends. That emotions for a person can change , that a human being is weak .And that these men will not take responsibility for the " betrayel" that is bad , because they cant CONTROL their own emotions . They cant FORCE themselves to love the person they no longer love. So they dont feel responseble, but still OBVIOUSLY they are parents , many men cant distinguish the feelings for the mother of the child ( falling out of love with her) and still beeing a parent for children they have with her. So they leave both the mother and the children. Thats very imiture behavior , but many men have never looked at their feelings and analyst them , and many people are totally unable to do that

I hate my ex for cheating and making me a single mum. Agree that the weight of responsibility for the child while grieving is overwhelming... I constantly think - “I didn’t sign up to do this alone”... 3 years post separation and I still have lots of anger & resentment... I don’t think I will ever forgive him as he cheated and then walked away... I got no say.

The PTSD is so real and I’m definitely feeling exactly what you have experienced. Thank you for your video. It really does put into perspective that this is all a process.

I try to talk to friends and family about how I feel and even though they mean well, and are supportive, I don't think anyone appreciates the depths of it unless they have lived it. I appreciate you saying that it takes a long time to get to a better place, because sometimes I get so frustrated that I'm upset or at least not feeling 'normal' and sometimes seems impossible it will end. I'm exactly one year into it too and at I relate to that year delay. Glad you are doing so much better, empathy, strength and maturity. Thank you.

As someone who went through a divorce 3 years ago and now co-parenting and navigating all of the emotions that go along with it, I can definitely relate to your journey. It's complex, messy and difficult and it comes in waves that can be overwhelming at times. I think my favorite part is when you said to find a way to forgive yourself...its something that I struggle with especially because I don't want my kids to ever feel like they missed out on a "normal" upbringing. This video really touched me and I know will help others as well. I can tell you have an amazing soul and only amazing things will be in your future...

The pain is the deepest and most awful feeling I could’ve ever imagined. I was married twice. My high school sweetheart betray me after more than 20 years of life together. Hard relationship but we waited 16 years to marry and begin our family of two perfect boys and a beautiful little girl. So I woke up one day to realize the truth. Life changing but I accepted it all rather quickly. My latest marriage ended almost 8 months ago and what I found in her was what I thought I was always praying for. Almost 4 years together through a lot of mutual ups and downs. She left and took our baby boy back home where she was from and seemingly had already prepared her new life. The most devastating shock of my life. An imaginary life I was living with someone who probably never loved me. I pray every day for strength! I need healing and acceptance. Prayers to all the beautiful souls who love unconditionally and even when devalued and erased!

You are a beautiful soul thank you for sharing your story. I'm going through a difficult divorce right now as well with two small children we've been together 9 years. No infidelity but a cycle of verbal and emotional abuse. Still very traumatizing and painful. The Lord has strengthened me and pulled me through but it will be an ongoing process of healing... It's something we have to go through not around. But as a believer I know that every difficult thing we face can help to strengthen, and refine us making us wiser and giving us a greater revelation of God's faithfulness. I don't understand why these things happen but I still trust the Lord and one day this test will be my testimony. I hear so many stories of women remarrying and having fantastic husbands so I know it happens. But for now I'm focused on bettering myself spiritually physically and mentally, being the best mom I can, and growing closer to the Lord... I wish you all the best you are so beautiful and I pray something wonderful comes your way in the right time

thank you for your beautiful words and vulnerability. You may want to watch a couple of words: calling him your "ex husband" keeps you connected to him in that way. Another option is to refer to him as your son's dad. Also, you had mentioned several times that this happened "to you". As you said, we all play a part, it happened. You were there, but for me when I feel like something happened "to me", it feels disempowering. Just my opinion, it sounds like you are a truly brave and powerful woman.

I coped by changing my appearance. I used to have long hair then I put it up in a pony tail and cuitlacoche all off. I felt free. But things got easier and healing began.

After 6 months of him playing a cruel cat and mouse game with my emotions I hired a good lawyer, petitioned for divorce and went zero contact from then on. My lawyer deals with it all and I will never speak or lay eyes on him again. No contact is very useful if one is dealing with Narcissitic abuse as it breaks the viscous cycle and allows you to heal and prevents them from further abuse. it helps to break the trauma bond and gives your body time to recover if you become physically ill. I hope you are in a good place now. You are a lovely women and still have a full, life ahead. Best of luck.

Yeah it's been nearly a decade since my ex and i split and i haven't been in a LTR since. I think that i want one but when i date someone that feeling of yearning and passion that helps you develop deeper connections never materializes in me and i think it's mainly because of the emotional trauma my ex wife put me through. I use to be attentive and caring, now if you were to call me aloof you would be kind. Which in turn ironically as it sounds helps me with meeting new women. Any way i don't know why I'm typing this out except that i identify how a betrayal can change you and harm your future relationships. Has anyone else experienced this?

It makes you more mad at the person because they make you feel like they ruined your life. I’ve been in 3 relationships since, but I can still feel that change in me. I absolutely was changed for good. It’s sort of like being at war. Once you see and experience something like that, you can never un-experience it or get the old you back. We ARE victims, so don’t let people tell you to stop playing victim. You can choose to learn and grow from it, but you can still never get your old self back. I will never consider myself a Survivor because I can never revive my old self ever, ever again. Sure, I’m surviving, I’ve moved on, had a family, but I’m still not the same. So that to me, is not surviving. It’s damaged goods. By someone else’s actions. Life long damage that can never be fixed, because it already happened. Can’t unsee it. People spend too much time on trying to forgive. I simply see that person as a piece of shit equivalent to a murderer, because he killed me, he killed my soul. I have strength, maturity and all of that. He still killed my soul. The repayment plan for that is, stay away from people who will absolutely annihilate you. Because once it happens once, with not just a spouse or partner, but with your soul mate, then you will never EVER be the same. My repayment plan is seeing that 100% as a loss, sort of like when you loose your wallet, and seeing that as in life-long unfortunate event, sort of like when you are diagnosed with cancer, and then accepting it as such. Because it will always be there, always, no matter what anybody says. Yes I do feel that someone has essentially inflicted cancer on me. Because I will never be the same, ever. Imagine a murderer killing my offspring, and I’m supposed to just continue with life as if nothing happened? He killed me, my soul. RIP my old self. I was killed. I forgive no murderers ever. No murderers will ever be forgiven no. It should be illegal to do what he did. Imagine if I could be my beautiful untainted self again? And if you could also be? The reason the world is so fucked up is because people are legally amd fully allowed to wreck people for all their worth. Step on us like delicate flowers and then move on with their lives scotch free. That’s abuse. All forms of abuse should be illegal but it’s not. I feel I have been abused, kicked and had to take a kidney out because of it. Me having one less kidney does not make me a survivor it makes me damaged goods. Sure I can function with one kidney, but again, not the same. Not ever Ever the same.

@@thereturnoftheprodigalyams6763 I mostly wanted to convey that you are not alone and that people make it way worse by downplaying what happened to you with comments such as “get over it already” or “you weren’t even married” or “why are you playing victim.” We were married only by common law but my point is, try to notice those covert miniature put downs when people do it to you. And don’t accept it. What they are doing is allowing what the person did to you and telling you to accept it (the behavior.) It’s rude, insensitive, and downright wrong. People also have a tendency to blame the victim. Anyways, my best advice to you is to accept it as a loss, because you literally have no other choice and accept not the behavior, but that it happened to you like I said very similar to accepting that someone shot your kidney. There’s no other way to describe it. Because it really might have been that big of a blow for you, and for me it was. They killed a part of you, and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise! Now it’s our job to figure out how to function with that fact with zero justice either whatsoever. And here they are living as if they didn’t do anything that hurtful to you, even if they do apologize. Apologizing to a judge won’t make my kidney come back… apologizing doesn’t and didn’t do much at all tbh. Accepting it though has, and realizing that living this WHOLE life without something ever bad happening to me is actually pretty darn unlikely. Bad things happen. So I accept it as a bad thing and I hope that you can also do that too. My dog got bit by a pitbul yesterday who darted out of an elevator. That does not mean I’ll never use an elevator ever again it just means that I will now be more cautious of elevators. I wish you all the best!

Sometimes being single and celibate is the way to go ...I refuse to deal with this type of shit again ...single no kids never married and it’s truly a blessing I know how it feels to be cheated on I can’t imagine being cheated on by your husband and the father of your child ...I can get rid of these dudes but getting rid of the dad of the kid is some shit I see it first hand all the time with my friends and their multiple baby daddies and makes me feel less bad for myself for nothing having kids yet no offense to you guys even my own friends warn me ...I trust in the lord to bring me the right man but honestly don’t think I want to bring a child into this fucked up world

I'm the same way, this world is chaotic and not fit for my hypothetical children so I won't be having biological children. If I choose to raise kids, I will adopt. And I will always keep my heart guarded from men. They can be so cruel.

@@violetselene244 amen sister ! I was thinking the same about adopting kids. The foster system is HORRIBLE. My friend is currently fostering our friends kid she’s unfortunately an addict and she’s in the deep end. The things she tells me about the social worker and foster care is extremely disturbing and even some people I know all of their stories are disturbing. I can see myself adopt but I’m honestly petrified to get a child that has a lot of issues. It’s horrible for me to say that but I’m not that person who can deal with a very difficult child there’s many people who can handle situations like that god bless them honestly! I am more than happy to take a child and give them love and affection keep them in a good home and give them the best life . It’s not their fault at all for their circumstances but some children belong with someone who will help them no matter how difficult the situation is. It’s best for them some people adopt kids just for money and not even show them any love which is so sad. As for men , same here. Until god sends me the man other than that every man I came across even my own dad all got some serious issues and there’s always a woman in their life that’s suffering because of them. Every single one. Not one I have met that I can trust with my life honestly .

Cheating is one of the most disrespectful things you can do. What was the point of vows and supporting you while you carried his firstborn? He’s a total narcissist. Think about you doing the same. Carrying on an affair secretly. Being 2-faced. That’s just the pOLAR opposite of what a DECENT person does. I would get as MUCH money out of him girl

Since his affair was such a shock to you it probably took you a year for you to get through the shock and denial and then the anger. Sadness can begin the real healing. I hope I see more videos like this. I'm an older woman so I have been through these things before but it still hurts.

I'm doing fine. I feel stronger and better now that this ending is working out. It was more of an emotional struggle while going through the " maybe it might be saved " portion of the relationship. Now I know that I just do not want it in my life. Unfortunately he still hangs onto my things even though a judge ordered him to return my things to me. He also stole a vehicle from me and sold it to someone who abandoned it which now sticks me with the fine. I just wish all of this could be done and over with. All these things keep me tangled up in it and I am ready to be over it. It's odd that really I have put him out of my mind but then at night he comes up in my dreams. I guess my subconscious has to sort things out. I am looking at the situation in hindsight now and I knew early on that he was not the right person for me but he just kept hanging onto me, just as now he hangs onto my things. I told him all along " you just aren't you cup of tea ". He was younger than me, successful and handsome and smart, but he just did not bring me joy. We liked many of the same things in life, we liked eating the same foods, going the same places, but that is not enough. A best friend who you share joy with is everything. He thought sex was everything. When you and your spouse are 90, I bet you won't be having sex, but you still can smile and laugh together. I'm looking for that man who makes me smile. Thank you for asking.

I disagree with your argument about cheating and excusing them as victims of their own lives. Many people will never do it to someone else and choose other means before destroying lives of others. You are being too light in that aspect and many would disagree.

He’s not an incredible guy. No matter what people shouldn’t cheat. Your co dependency is not the reason he cheated it’s his shelflshness and regardlessness for you and his son. He didn’t love you or his son. You shouldn’t have forgave him. He should live with that forever that’s the price you pay for cheating. No that you forgave him he got away with it. He doesn’t deserve it no matter what. Cheaters are ugly ruthless and shellfish. Only forgive if he wanted to cheat but didn’t. If he actually cheated he needs to suffer just like you and your son did. If he didn’t want to be with you, he should’ve just left not cheat on you. That’s the right thing to do.

The education system needs to explain to boys, when they are 13 and becoming interested in girls, the art of being a man. Men are daddies. Women are better at being mummies but it still needs explained to many girls. Daddy's job is to protect mummy and baby. Mummy's job is to keep mummy and baby safe. That's it.
