I handled it all the wrong way. My gut said something was wrong so I snooped & found sooo much out. It made me out to be the bad guy too. I hate that, because I didn’t make him cheat. He rarely fessed up to anything & never would’ve come clean on his own. The lies! And he still has no understanding of what is appropriate when it comes to his actions daily. He said he would do work but it was bare minimum & only when I provided it to him. I’m still stuck in it. I kept “hoping” I would see some level of commitment but all I have gotten over the years from him is “I’m still here”. Presence isn’t what I want. It’s over. I know that & I’m hanging on for the kids, but I can’t seem to make any steps in any direction. I learned a lesson about being unequally yolked. I believe that is where it all started. Praying for all those going through this and prayers are always welcome!

Thanks for sharing! I needed this after discovering a friend backstabbing me by seeing a guy I talked to for over a year behind my back. And when I found out about them lying and cheating; she lied to mutual friends and others and portrayed herself as the victim. I don't think the cheating hurt as much as it was her and she was my only confidant when I dealt with him. She knew my secrets and I really thought she was my friend only to realize I was dealing with a snake the entire time. My trust is at an all time low after dealing with them both. He's a narcissist and she's just a snake. To experience that back to back has really changed the innocence and invigoration I once had about life. It doesn't help they're off in the wind without a care in the world while my heart breaks and the trauma just really takes me down. I'm definitely much better than I used to be; but it still hurts to my core.

True! Truth! Facts! Been divorced for 2 years and he too pulled the exact same gaslighting moves on me. At the time I too questioned my entire existence. He was my first errrythang child. I also gave him my car, it was always filled with the tissue paper and empty drug plastic he had laying around. We were tgether for 18 years and having to accept that this is where it is and what he did, oh man, it broke my soul... then came this gentleman named Jesus, oooh He wrapped me in His loving arms and is still wiping my tears away everyday. The alcohol, smoking didn't help. To SOMEONE reading this, May you allow your mess to turn into your message. May your troubles become your greatest triumph. 🤍 🙏 Thank you Ps Nona. I appreciate your vulnerability, sincerity and love. God bless you 🙏

I’m praying my way through, it took me diving deep focusing on Gods words to keep me from cutting his stomach open. I didn’t go looking for cheating evidence it found me. I felt like a fool and I wanted revenge, opened Gods word and the page literally read vengeance is mine! I screamed my voice into a hoarse state. It took God to pull me out, I couldn’t do it on my own strength.

When you are healed you remember but the trauma and hurt is not longer with it. I knew I forgave my ex when I saw him once, and didn't feel anything and I pray for, and feel sorry for his now wife.

I would love to go one day not thinking about how I was betrayed . We have been together 15 years since we were in our early 20s. His betrayal took my breath away and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m so tired of thinking about it though.

This took me straight back to when I was in the Air Force, stationed in Germany in the 80s. Then, I was so needy and wanting SOMEONE to validate me and fill that big gap lodged in my soul, I fell for a lot of ropey dope. I remember this one dude. He might’ve given me a hint that he liked me and I ran with it. I can see his face right now. This one day I must’ve called him a hundred times. Never picked up the phone. Then the male and female barracks weren’t that far from each other, separated by a locked door. Finally, after sitting on the bed, listening to ring after ring, I walked over the male dorm. I remember knocking on the door, in the middle of it was a glass window. Knocked. Someone told him I was out there. He came to the window, touching his heart, saying his grandmother was sick. That was the reason he didn’t answer my calls or reach out to me. I was devastated. Another blow. I could imagine him walking from his room to the door, saying‘I gotta get rid of this nut.’ He used his grandmother as an excuse. 😩😩 From then on until NOW, I’ve embarked on a journey to self, intertwined with ‘ why haven’t I found that ONE?’ Because of that experience, amongst others, I’ve begun a ministry of writing letters of inspiration to prisoners and penpals across the world. I do this because I don’t want anyone waiting by a phone or a mailbox for a letter of encouragement or inspiration or something to boost their day. Pain can be a prison or a school. NOW, I choose the latter. Thank you Lady Nona for this episode ❤
