My partner cheated on me, which in and of itself was bad enough. It hurt me to the core. It went on for several years and I’d even questioned it but was assured there was nothing. I also find out during that time that my partner is an alcoholic and I didn’t know that either.
My partner says it all happened because of the alcohol. I couldn’t have them still be friends and stay together. To make a long story short, we stayed together but now my partner is going through the steps of AA and they made amends with that person. They are now back to being friends on social media, have talked on the phone. I feel as though I’m being sliced to the core all over again. Is it natural for someone that has cheated on you to remain friends with the one they cheated on you with?? I feel they would rather be friends with the one they cheated with than be concerned about my feelings and how it hurts me so much. Am I wrong???
