Just found out my ex husband was cheating behind my back for a year and half with his girlfriend while we were married still!!!!!!! I feel so dirty and betrayed. I have been trying so hard to stay off the couch. We have a horrible relationship. He is always backstapping me, hurting me and the kids, he lies non stop, . Three years I couldn't get off the couch because the shoe kept always falling, there was always .something bad happening I couldn't deal with. Three months im off, and im having a real hard time not wanting to go back, just give up, let him win, he always wins any ways. He is my trigger!!!!!! HELP HELP HELP

Don't dare give in to him. Think about your pride. And you are worth so much more

It is Him not You! You have been doing well, he will continue to be who he is no matter who he is with----oh, I know how strong the pull down to the couch can be---you have a Life worth fighting for---and you are in a better place without him. HE WILL NOT WIN. And remember, when one person/emotion seems to :"win" it really doesn't negate all else. It feels that way but that is a lie you have learned to tell yourself, it is all or nothing. No. It is simpler and more complex than that.
Maybe you should send the couch to the dump in celebration.

You sound very angry at yourself. .. I am sorry you have every right to be upset and hurt. But please take that anger you are turning to yourself and focus it on him. Do what you need to do to take care of you and your kids. Don't let him win , again.

Take care of you

How are you today, sprik? Keep talking your pain out here if you can. Getting the pain out is what helped me through my bad time. I wouldn't have made it without it, even though I repeated myself at least 200 times. Not holding it in is what saved me.

It's okay to feel hurt and betrayed, by the way. It's totally okay. Just don't hold it in because it's poison.

Oh Sprik, I am sorry you are feeling so sad, angry, lonely. Things feel never-ending sometimes, but that is not true. Things can change, and will. In the lonely moments, remember you have us here. In the sad and angry moments feel what you need to, get it out and then follow it up with finding something you respect about yourself. Forget what anybody else in your life has told you if it has been negative. Let the negative voices go away and just hear your own beauty for a moment. If you can. If not, distract yourself somehow but don't get into the event-horizon of the couch. (hugs))
