This is a funny coincidence- yesterday I had a text conversion with someone I used to be infatuated with when I was still needy. This was a professional conversation (related industries back at the time), but after our text exchange he continued on (obviously drinking) in a series of 3 texts to a new target- it was so funny, the wording and so on. Then he realised but too late, and I know he is still cringing, and now that I am a recovered person I can see this as funny and not just pretend it didn't happen. It is such an awesome feeling to not get into entanglements any more!!!

Oh wow - I find these so triggering. I feel like people always same the same things about wives/girlfriends. They’re controlling, they’re manipulative, they use the kids blah blah. Abusive people always say that about their spouses to justify their cheating to themselves and to the other person involved. My ex just did this to me with a co worker and told her things weren’t good at home and all these things and I never even knew he had an issue with about me. He had just proposed to me and I thought we were working things out. Turns out he never cared about me at all and instead of end it he strung me along and cheated on me. He told me that she told him to break up with me for months based on the crap he told her. That’s controlling and manipulative. Regardless of what I did wrong in the relationship, if it’s never brought to my attention and then it’s used to justify cheating with another woman, that’s abuse. Anyone engaging in an office affair, I would imagine, is being complicit in a similar dynamic.

Dear Anna, I can't even start to THANK YOU for giving the affair situation it's adequate perspective: "Do not criticize his wife. Stand next to you sisters". We know for men it is really easy to abandon their children and to cheat on pregnant or nurturing wives: it's not them who are cleaning 💩, changing diapers, vomit, carrying a weight in their stomach for 9 months, breastfeeding...and them, of course, the strategy is known and simple: "My wife is crazy, she mistreats me, but I don't know how to leave her", because, of course, the baby is only hers, right? THANK YOU, ANNA!

I have a friend, now in her sixties, that multiple times had affairs with Co-workers. First time was on her first job when she was 19…. Stories this man told her was the same Luna heard (and of course he never left wife+baby). Over the years my friend has been made feeling special and secretly the number one. I watched with horror how she has been the entertainer during business trips and so on, always compassionate with the ”poor” men complaining about their wifes… If a man wants to cheat on his wife, a Co-worker is the perfect partner in crime: easy access and the side-woman cannot make too much noise if she gets angry bc she has her career to loose…. Life has gone by, looks faded, and my friend is alone and without children. I do hope that this will not be the destiny for Luna!

@@ir9567 her female friends were more or less non-existent, another advice from Fairy 🧚‍♀️ Anna to take note of: with a strong network of good female friends a woman is less likely to be taken advantage of! Mind You, low self-esteem as female doesn’t rule out a besserwisser-attitude in all other compartments and that is a huge problem bc it is both intimidating to normal, serious men as well as making it impossible for friends to offer constructive criticism & advice. Of course there is a back story…. Our parents were friends and we grew up together. According to my mother, my friend’s father was cheating even when young and early into marriage. Eventually, a long term side-relationship became known to my friend’s mother resulting in a pre-mature, hastely divorce (the parents had agreed to stay together until all children had grown up and moved out). Father quickly remarried and told & introduced the step-mother at a businesslike lunch after the ceremony already had taken place. However, the father was a successful entrepreneur and my friend was his favourite to be educated as the son that wasn’t borne. Any attempt to point out that the father was a yerk failed towards agressive dismissal of the fact that she had grown up in a dysfunctional family (in spite of money, material standard and functioning routines almost set in stone). My friend graduated highschool with top grades and eventually university as a doctor of technology, venturing out in an all male world of work. Female friends were me (who failed postgraduate studies bc of a failed marriage), a co-worker that never had a romantic relationship at all (don’t know why), and my friends (who never accepted her appalling disrespect for others’ marriage and thus distanced themselves). The misogyni of the father was internalised and produced a woman who was afraid of being feminine but confident in academia & work. The natural desire for home & family was never expressed in public, though she talked about it with me as best friend. When father died from liver cancer, within a fortnight from discovery, she and siblings inherited a successful business. New ”friends” emerged and today any soulsearching discussions are drowned out by the flattery chorus. We all find a way to cope…. I do love my childhood friend with much affection and sympathy for her hardships in life, and no matter what we are friends for life!

@@ir9567 second answer: Actually, coming from a social setting that provided fertile ground for narcissism, we were all fighting the demons of emotional neglect and abuse in various ways. We all had poor judgement (in spite of intellectual achievements) and chaos in our lives. The chaos my friend was involved in never really surfaced bc it is the nature of these affairs in a proffessional environment that they are constrained in being public. Rather, my friend was often the one being single that could support me in the chaos my mother and later also my abusive husband created. Thus on surface everything was calm in her corner. (A burnout problem that caused her to leave her career was shielded financially by the inheritance of her father’s business.) We were all like sheeps without a shepherd!

My friend is a real estate agent, married since her 20s with kids in college. She went to her agency’s Christmas party. Another agent flirted with her. She flatly said, “I’m married.” (He knew that, and she wears her rings). She left right away and never attended again. She just won’t put herself in that situation, where people have a drink and become inappropriate. Her husband is middle-eastern, so maybe there’s a stricter line. Also, professional reputation. People love to gossip, and they don’t care if it’s true or not.

Luna, how do you know you are the only “other woman”? I tell you most assuredly you are not. I recently was bowled over by the caring sensitivity of a man I thought was the one I’d been waiting for. We are both single, but he was mysterious and secretive. Soon it was clear that though he texted me daily and I thrived on the attention, he was also paying attention to other women the same way. You know the saying “talk is cheap”? Well texting is even cheaper! It costs NOTHING, Luna, to sit and text beautiful words that make your heart sing, while also texting several other women at the same time. He has made a comfortable home and future with a wife and baby, and he wouldn’t have spent all this time and effort with them if he didn’t WANT that life. Anna is right. He is playing games with your feelings and you are not the first or only. His face lit up when he saw you because your wounded starving soul tripped his radar and he was grooming you with his smile and attention. You cannot determine someone cares for you by his texting. That is so little effort it is beyond nothing. Yet you are taking it as gospel. I did too. When he discarded me for the new crush, I couldn’t even breathe right for weeks. It’s a game, Luna. I’m so sorry, but when Anna says your heartbreak is coming, she is right on. Walk away now dear. If you don’t gather the strength now, the discard will be brutal when it comes. He is just boosting his ego texting women with no regard for what it does to anyone else. God bless you Luna, I know how you hurt. Listen to Anna.

What “hooked” me was I asked them for help on something - which is always hard for me to do-and they took care of the part I couldn’t do. I had to go to them and I needed their help. I didn’t have any other options. Their response to my request had me feeling something I rarely feel- heard. And they were caring, sensitive, kind and, above all, smart about how to go about it, promising to keep it confidential. I’m a sucker for kind and smart. They thanked me for trusting them but I didn’t have a choice, really. I’m indebted to this person so I’m struggling with being all business. I *should* be more friendly but I worry it will be taken the wrong way- or I’ll start to have feelings, so I go to the extreme and just avoid eye contact and interacting.

Dear Anna, thank you for another excellent video. I wish I had seen this 20 or 30 years ago, and i wish I had the knowledge and wisdom to avoid the "lessons" I had to learn the hard way. Thinking back, I was so desperate for any attention and I was willing to give up anything just to feel "loved". Yes, now I understand why and I can accept my past and the people I hurt. I really relate to Luna. And it's not your fault Luna. You just want to feel loved. But you need to listen to your heart and Anna because getting involved with a married man is like drinking poison when you are thirsty. It may make you feel "loved" for a while, but once the infatuation state is over, reality settles in, you will see things much more clearly. Don't listen to your emotions because that's CPTST talking.

This man is NOT going to leave his wife. How I wish I had a dollar for every male sob story I have heard (first, second and third hand) about how he badly wants to leave her... but never, ever does. More than 20 years ago, when internet chat rooms were all the rage (not for dating, just mutual interests) I met a man on a music fan site and we took it offline. He told me early in the piece about his unhappy marriage and we continued as long distance "internet/ phone friends", meeting in person when he came to my city for work. I'm not proud of being involved in his deception towards his wife and when he told me he was thinking of giving in to her "demands" for a child, that's the only time I threatened to expose him to his wife. I worked in social services at the time and strongly believe children deserve better. I said, if after seeing the evidence of our "friendship" she loves and forgives you enough to still want a child with you and you guys commit to working on your marriage, great! Go figure, I was always the therapist to those I spent time with, eventually I got my own relationship! This guy went to absolute pieces one day when he rang me out of blue and I told him I just got married. Like, dude, you have known me 8 years! The child with his wife never happened and if I had anything to do with that... well, Karma might just be real, cos years later when my husband and I tried for a family the doctor tells him he could fertilise an Easter egg but doesn't know what could possibly be wrong with me! I have accepted this reality... but now I resolve to stay the hell out of other people's life dramas! Thanks to social media, I can tell you my former internet friend is still very much with this "awful woman", 21 years later! She has a good career and must be very smart. I'm sure she knew all along what he was about. Then again, her husband may just not be expressing his disappointment and unhappiness to her face the way he was behind her back. He may actually have her believing everything is just fine.

Uhhh something similar happened to me. I was attracted by people who were kinda shady, played the poor person card, and gave me attention. By looking at it from a different perspective. I realized that, those men who give small bits of attention and played the poor me card are not serious, nor safe, and quite toxic. They are bored, they have so much free time and can wait for someone who can fall with them. Also they create a sphere, like a parallel universe, where there is you and him and it is made to be perfect and peacefull, like a Sanctuary. That is a trap. It helped me to realize that wait a minute, I have limerence again, I need to sit still and calm down, it is just another of that storms of illusion. It helps me to sit in the present moment and to ask myselc what opinion do I have about people, behaviors, things, ideas. A good thing is to acknowledge what I am doing and be still-not act despite the need to to something, plus a list of traits and things I accept or not accept in a person, plus a list with my preferences for a relationship.

I can't even remember now how I happened upon your channel, but thank you with all of my heart for sharing these videos. I am able to pick out information and situations from these letters that I did not see in my own relationships - so would not have been able to prevent and heal from. This video resonates so strongly with me as I recover from a recent relationship that sounded so much like this woman's. While mine was not a workplace relationship, I see so many parallels that help me relate and see that my relationship patterns are very much like this woman's. I was accepting crumbs and his future faking. I ignored his mistreatment of his ex-wife (whom he had not spoken to in three years, despite the fact that they still lived in the marital home with their FOUR children), and chose to believe his (probably false) explanations for his living situation. I ignored these giant red flags because this man was someone I've been acquainted with since high school, so I thought he was safe, because I knew who he was. When he neglected and mistreated me, I blamed my own dysfunctional reactions (honed in an 18 year relationship with an emotional abuser with Narcissistic Personality Disorder). My own magical thinking attracts me to partners like this, because it was how I survived a (normal, not abusive) childhood in which I felt neglected, unloved and unworthy.

At 17 I got pulled into an affair with a married man - similar story, I was neglected and abused, and he seemed to be so caring and 'present' (when he was there) and could see me when I felt invisible, but ir was all a lie. A lie I gave myself to for years. Years of plastic fruit instead of dinner, making it impossible for me to discern 'real food' for decades. Thank you for speaking TRUTH

I am Luna, minus the child. I had discovered you a couple months prior to hanging out with my coworker. When I met him I told him I was living my best life, I was doing all that you teach. He didn’t wear a ring, he didn’t mention being married, and it was to early for us to hangout and spend a lot of quality time together. He was so handsome, great conversationalist, he listened, I fell hard very fast. Yes, I have CPTSD. My father was an alcoholic, I’ve been married twice, and have a child with another man. Back to the disaster, Two months in and his wife found out and called our work and told our bosses. She moved out, and as much as I wanted to stay connected, I walked away. I have been the wife, with a small baby. I know what his wife is feeling. I have been through so much in my life, I’m 50. I know what I bring to the table, but I feel as though I’m worthless. I am back in therapy because I don’t want to continue living this way. Although Ill have to see this man at work, and all my coworkers know about what has transpired, I act like it doesn’t bother me, but inside I’m dying. I hate living this life. I’m trying to piece my life back together. Right now I’m angry, and I hate men.

Stop seeing love everytime someone smiles at you! Stop convincing yourself that every cramb is going to suffice to make sure happy. Stop seeing with a positive view a person who just made a baby and a few months later is arguing that he/she was unhappy. If someone has a baby is because he/she made that baby a few months ago with someone else!

People are sometimes attracted to people with the same feelings or background. It feels like being understood en being able to learn something from another traumatized person. The collegue that loves you from a distance is either someone, who experienced the same trauma's, like you did or someone who is able to pretend that he did. In either way is this a bad situation for you. You have to be happy that he is already married because he is bad news for you. It is better for you to look for people with the same experiences in a therapeutic way, which is what you try to do now. People, who are really interested in you as a potential partner, do not behave like your collegue.

Young girls and seasoned professionals alike should unite on this one! We'll leave the "play along with the men" types in the dust. If the man (or woman, women cheat too) has a wedding ring this is not an easy fix and a baby is even harder. With Anna, if you stop and think before it happens, you'll feel absolutely terrible hurting the child more than the wife possibly because you are a hurt child. Notes 📝 to consider: 1. Married men(or women) can turn the charm on and off (the off button hurts as much as the on button feels good). 2. The man may be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (you see the happy person and the wife gets the cold shoulder, if you end up with him you become the wife) 3. Wedding rings sometimes come off (don't use a wedding ring as a sign, it can come off yet divorce papers are harder to handle and not easily followed through on) 4. In the world of business you may be eye candy and a source of ideas to further his career and the business. Question for Crappy Childhood Fairy 🧚‍♀️..... How can women play to win? Women with moms who don't take to them fall for all the tricks until they don't and then it's flat out bullying and harassment. What's a girl to do? P.S. The goal is to keep working and gain respect, not play little boy games.

Only it didn't happen for me as I was working with mostly single men my age or a bit older. Might have something to do with my mother living and working in South Wales where she grew up whereas I lived and worked in Southern England. Then when I moved back to Wales at the age of 35 it was a different story.

Affairs like these actually cement a marriage that could otherwise end. Because the married person has the marriage, kid and now also the emotional support. The way it starts is the way it ends. Who says he won't have two or three parallel affairs while being married. Married men and women who want to have affairs do have such stories of how their spouse is controlling. Well, how do you know you are his first affair?

My friend, to have an affair is one the most selfish thing anyone can do to another person. Then, to compound it with the ridiculous belief that the affair strengthened or saved the marriage, it’s completely absurd. Perhaps, telling oneself that you helped saved a marriage, is simply a coping mechanism..to avoid guilt and accountability. If/when a partner has an affair, it damages the trust permanently, and the cheated partner never feels the same about him/her. Although, he/she may remain in the relationship, it’s never the ‘same, or better’…as, some might want to believe. Marriage is a sacred institution, ordained by God, and once it’s violated, both, cheating parties will reap destruction. I will pray for you.☮️

Nicely said. I fell in love with just married man in our office, we were close but he was not behaving like giving me any chance romantically. I left the company ( I was leaving it anyway) and wrote him that we cannot be friends anymore cause I fell in love with him and we cannot be in contact and its hard for me and was sorry for that. I think he was surprised, because I did no show it on me that I was in love with him. But he accepted it and since that tíme its calm. It was difficult in the beginning. But each day it was better and better. Now its almost 3 months and I am starting to be fine 🙂. Regarding the lady with baby and controlling stuff, all my friends who have babies are like that, especially when on maternity leave, we have it here 3 years for woman with baby. They are more vulnerable and more dependant in this period, its very challenging for most couples.

After 2 decades and many, many children, youngest was a toddler, my then husband cheated with a coworker. It ended the marriage. I stood in line for Catholic confession next to her as she cried about knowing it's wrong to be with a married man. I looked her straight in the eyes and told her that if he'll cheat with her, he'll cheat on her. She thought she was the bomb. And he eventually did her dirty too. My teen boys laughed at her because their dad played her, talking to other women. They call it "Dropping the phone" because he would be telling thots "I love you" and would drop his phone when her call would interrupt his other lovey-dovey conversations. Cptsd really sux. Mine, his, and OW.

His heart is working at 25 percent or less. His personality has changed. He is grumpy. He doesn't want to be touched or messed with. I have no family support. My mother has treated me badly since childhood. I often feel like I am adopted. There is no connection. My parents divorced when I was 10. She left for a year with no contract. I have ms and fibro and ra and more. She tried 3 times to put me in a nursing home. I recently made the sentence that I don't know where I will live after mark dies. I only get 800.00 a month. My rent is 1000.00. Her reply was an assisted living. I said no ma'am. I will find a way. I am taking care of Mark alone and me and she wants to put me away. My only sibling is 12 hours away. He is a controller. He is loving to everyone else but me. We went through hell together as teens. I have a sweet friend who is a God sent. She is more of a mother friend. She text me daily and often. She knows alot of my secrets. Because of her I have gone 3 weeks without hurting me. She helped me through the dark days and still cares. She is teaching me to love me. I look into the mirror now with the light on and say I am smart. I am beautiful. I am loveable. I am love. I'm slowly beginning to believe my words. I have a eating disorder. I am a water color artist and gel inks artist. I have recently sold some of my work. I don't do drugs or drink or smoke. I walk a mile most days. I walk a lap or 2 and come in to check on mark. Hospice comes once a week. He has boys. They live 2 hours away. I just want someone to just hold me and let me cry. I'm tired of being alone and broken.

I tried to look at this scenario from each one's perspective, and regardless of who's cheating, lying, enabling, or being used/manipulated... a CHILD is involved. They/we probably wouldn't be in that situation if not for their OWN dysfunctional or neglectful parents. Luna would be better equipped with boundaries & more likely able to resist the attention & interest that sparks such good feelings, esp when one is lonely or has been denied healthy love. Perhaps the male coworker would respect his wife & marriage more if he didn't have his own issues. And so on... *WE ARE THE BABY, in a sense. It's hard but maybe the cycle can be broken if we think about it that way. A child doesn't deserve the impending chaos, just like we didn't when we were young & innocent.

Those of us who haven’t experienced addiction to illicit subtences won’t understand how it works. You have to choose an example that we all know: toxic relationships. When I met each of my exes, it was a fairy tale. I saw them as perfect men. if someone had asked me to leave them for one reason or another (and it happened once), I would have refused and I would have sworn that this man was the man of my life and I was willing to sacrifice everything for him. And in the end, he wasn’t the man of my life and all I got was to turn a blind eye to house-sized warning signs. We must remember this and put our situation in perspective: there are signs that the man who seduces us is not valid. and our emotions twisted by our PTSD prevent us from reacting properly. So we have to decide in advance that in the presence of certain signs, we will stop the relationship no matter how much we think we’re in love and suffering. In hindsight we will see the situation more clearly, and the regrets will disappear. There is also a detail I learned a little while ago: to survive an abusive family, the child learns to be empathetic. because he needs to be sure of situations where he is safe and others where his abusive parent could hurt him or abandon him. So very often, children from abusive families become super-empathic adults. And that’s a huge trap. In a stressful situation we enter survival mode and our inner empath takes control. It means that we give up our true self to care only for what the other person senses, wants, or refuses. and that’s how and why we abandon ourselves. It’s very nice and helpful to be an empath, but not if it overwhelms our entire existence. As adults, empaths must learn to differentiate between what they want and what others want. not only intellectually, but emotionally as well: "ah! So that’s how you feel! ah that’s what you want! and me then, how do I feel about all that?" I realized that if I had done this exercise with all my exes, I would have realized much earlier that they were toxic. For several months now, I’ve been practicing doing this with all my relationships. and I’ve noticed that all situations where I feel pressured are situations where my inner empath is trying to decide for me. if a person subject to PTSD does these two exercises systematically: obey the alarm signals even if it breaks ones heart, and listen separately to his inner empath and his own emotions, I would say that he has already done 80% of the convalescent work. my ptsd brothers and sisters, fighting!

I was compared to to my father on things that are considered good, but my mother would say them with a rage. Things like washing my hands all the time, not liking to have sugar sticky hands, for liking to read books. It seems that she hated everything about him.

NOT ONE MARRIAGE IS WEAK ENOUGH for an intruder from the outside. For better or worse. No excuse. If a man is married, get out of the house that you did not buy. It’s not your home nor your family.

When the intruder is invited in by the very person who vowed to love, cherish and protect you, it certainly is enough to destroy the marriage. It takes two to have a marriage and one to leave it. That said, I do agree that people need to mind their own beeswax and stay out of the marriage of monogamous couples. If a spouse is so unhappy, there's therapy or divorce. No need to cheat.

I really needed to this In my situation the person is not married though. But I realised It's very Unhealthy for me. I think he has Mother issues & I've father issues. He's kinda anxious and I'm avoidant. I really want to stop this & not live in limerence. It's so tempting when someone is so nice, caring & gives you so much attention. Huh I don't want to fall for it. I knew there's something wrong here. But Now it's clear to me. Thanks

She's in serious limerence. She's addicted and the same parts of the brain are being activated like in a drug addiction. And like a drug addiction, she will need to go into detox and go no contact. If she must be in the same room then she must gray rock and detach. I know this pain she describes because I have been there. I hope she finds her power and peace.

I was told t he same thing : “ u r just like your father ....” like it was a sin and I do look like my father which I came to realise much later in life wasn’t such a bad thing coz he was magnetic somehow ... Anyhow, u do feel degraded and guilty and faulty and that’s so unfair to a child, just a child .... Thank you Anna for your videos !!! I always find myself in the things you talk about .
