Relationship with my ex
I got divorced 6 years ago after 16 years of marriage and 3 years engagement before that. During our marriage he cheated repeatedly until it was finally over and we got divorced. He married the woman he cheated with only 2 months after the divorce. We have 2 kids so he has to stay in my life in some shape or form for the sake of the kids. I'm over him and definitely don't want him back but I can't get rid of the anger and bitterness. We failed to stay friends and we don't talk or meet at all . His presence in my kids lives frequently opens my wounds and I wish I could just get to a point where he his presence can hurt me anymore.
I definitely don’t blame you for being still being bitter but 6 years is such a long time to hold so much anger. have you tried therapy or counseling to help process it all? We’ve all heard that “forgiveness is for yourself, not the other person,” and it might be helpful to get professional to get to that point. You deserve to be happy, don’t let this jerk take it away from you!
