A year later still hurting
It’s been a year since my partner emotionally cheated on me and it’s crazy how even after a year I still feel the effects of it. During our relationship and even after we broke up last month I never mentioned it because I was scared to set boundaries and voice my opinions to avoid being called “crazy” or insecure”. How can I move on? Any advice?
I too went through this and the trust issues that result are hard to cope with. I have since broken up with my person of 2.5 years partly as a result of her emotionally cheating on me. The one thing I have come to realize is that even though we aren't together anymore, forgiving her for that mistake has brought me some closure. It's not easy to forgive people, and it isn't always easy to forgive ourselves for our own mistakes. Don't let the voice inside you doubt the goodness of people. We are all imperfectly beautiful.
Thank you! I don’t know if I can truly forgive him because he doesn’t even know I felt this way.
