He betrayed me throughout our relationship, but now the anger is gone I’m left with despair. I wish there was a magic pill I could take to move on
How do you get over a relationship when you have been betrayed for so long?
It has been 10 months since my boyfriend and I split up. I miss him. I feel utterly stuck and cry every day. He cheated throughout our relationship.
There were so many betrayals that I have no clue how many there were. Moving out was a relief. I was angry for months. But now the anger is gone and all the pain, sadness and betrayal is left.
I think it was easier when I was angryand hated him. I wonder how I will ever trusta man again. I haven’t dated anyone since. I am so afraid of getting hurt by another man that I hide at home, and try not to think about him. It still makes me utterly nauseated when I think about him having sex with another woman.
I wish there was a magic pill to take, so I could let him go and move on. I am so lonely and I miss the sweet things about him. I have so much despair in my heart, and a lot of times I thinkit would be easier just to be dead because I wouldn’t have to go through all this heartache. I have never had this much trouble moving on after a relationship ends. Cheating is the most painful betrayal there is.When leaving a message on this page, please be sensitive to the fact that you are responding to a real person in the grip of a real-life dilemma, who wrote to Private Lives as king for help, and may well view your comments here.
