For those of you who are recently or still struggling with the effects of being betrayed, I want you to know, it does get better. Two years ago I was in so much pain and I never thought it would stop. I had a horrible exH who I believe is a narcissist. There was a history of physical, mental and emotional abuse, on top of his cheating.
The divorce was final 3.5 years ago, although we only separated physically 18 months ago. We were forced to stay in the house during and after the divorce due to finances. During that time I struggled with accepting the divorce and dealing with his declarations of wanting to make it all up to me. However, every time I verified, his actions spoke louder than his words. My breaking point was after he declared his love to me while I was being admitted to the hospital. He promised to be there for me, so I was discharged into his care. Long story short, he bailed on me as soon as we got home to hang out with friends.
Now I look back and I cannot believe how lost I was. I thought it was so hopeless back then, but now I am not just happy, but content. I've dated some nice men, and am willing to settle down if the right one comes along, but I'd much rather be happy and single than married and miserable.
Please, if I could do one thing for you, it would be to keep you looking forward, for by constantly looking back, you'll miss all the wonderful things coming your way!
