How to move on from a toxic relationship
Relationship Stress / by toughHuman1327

...See more Im ashamed to say I was the other woman. 5 years ago, i started hanging out with a co-worker and was led into believing that he is going through a bad marriage and wants out. Months went by and we started falling in love - I gave him a timeline of one year to get out of his marriage or me. One year passed swiftly, we were happy and enjoyed each others company until I brought up the question of whats next for us. He told me he couldnt leave the marriage because of his son and he assures me that he hasnt touched his wife in years and were sleeping in seperate rooms. Being emotionally attached to him, I waited. After being with him for 2.5 years, his ex-wife filed for divorce. He tried to leave me and I was depressed, I couldnt get to work, shower, sleep or eat. I even attempted to down some pills while I was intoxicated. Seeing me in that state pains him and he went ahead with the divorce which took almost a year to settle. By the 4th year we were together, I noticed hes changed. He started visiting nightclubs with call girls, yelling at me for nothing and hardly home. He left me in May 2017 eventually. I was devastated. He then turned back to me in Dec 2017 and I thought we could make it this time. But no. He broke up with me a year later saying he wants to go back to his family eventually. He also said he will come back to me if things dont workout with his family. I need to let go cos that is the right thing to do, I just dont know how to stop loving him.
