Separated

I have been separated for over a year now (from my husband of 20 years, who cheated on me) and I feel as raw now as I did then. Has anyone with CPTSD separated and how did they cope. I keep wanting to contact him and say I want him back. I know this is a stupid move but I feel that I will never know happiness - I'm 62. I feel so broken and alone.

I am so sorry you have had to deal with your husband cheating on you, that really does hurt badly.

It is not unusual to think about working it out and repairing a relationship, after all, you did love him right? A lot of couples have experienced this challenge but worked it out and stayed together.

Have you had any marriage counseling with him? Is he still seeing the individual he cheated on you with? Has he asked to repair your relationship?

I wouldn't make such a big decision until you get yourself straightened out first. You may want him back for the wrong reasons and you may end going through this same thing all over again. Work on YOU right now.
