I'm just shocked
I’m currently processing a major betrayal. My husband of five years was unfaithful with someone close to us, and the shock has left me struggling to eat and grieve properly. While I’ve already taken steps to separate our lives—moving to a different room and preparing to return to work for financial independence—I’m struggling with the 'why' of it all. I felt confident in our relationship, so this feels like a total blindside. I’m focused on the divorce and moving out, but I’m still dealing with a deep sense of rejection and fear of future disappointment especially with our kids.
@casiacara95 I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through, just know that is nothing to do with you not being enough!
I have had the a similar thing happen to me in June 2025 and my wife of 11 years suddenly just discarded me, Little did I know it wasn't for the fresh start she claimed she wanted, but it was because she was having an affair with one of the teachers at her school.
We still live together because of financial reasons and its brutal when this was never your choice. i am grieving my 8 year old son the most as soon he wont be under my roof every day.
If you need to talk or vent , please feel free to talk to me, you are not alone. 💙

You are not alone. Have you asked why or talked about it?
So many people internalize and think it was something about them. it must have been hard to be betrayed by both spouse and someone close to your situation. making a plan and finding your footing takes time.
