I am doing better with each passing day since I decided to sever all contact with her. You simply can't immediately go back to being a supportive friend after being walked on like a doormat. I am having trouble finding happiness again as I am alone in a town where I don't know very many people. Seems like everyone I meet here in Florida is in their own click. In time I know things will get better and better as my depression seems to be weakening.
I will continue to post as I find this site to be a most useful tool. Thanks again for the support

Hopefull1,
Some of this thread is confusing..."he or she" responses. It sounds like yoiu moved a great distance to be with HER...correct? Now she has cheated with another woman...correct? I'm also unclear as to whether you are male or female from the initial post and responses. Doesn't matter...Your pain is real and disabling right now, and I can certainly identify.
I came here 4 years ago, completely awash in emotional pain from a rejection by someone whom I perceived that I loved. People here really helped me, often saying things which were hard to read and acknowledge to myself. It came down to taking "baby steps" and giving it lots of time. I didn't want to do that...I wanted to be healed quickly. But putting one foot in front of the other, and wading thru all the painful feelings is what one must do. Eventually...and I speak now as one completely well and no longer in pain, it does get better.
I'm not sure being in the same geographical location as this person, where you are "alone" otherwise, is a good thing for you. Maybe return to your familiar setting, and try to move on from there.
