blue963 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I think an affair makes it more difficult to end a relationship. With this type of relationship it isn't out in the open and normal. You end up questioning yourself on many things and when it is ended you have no support because you cant tell anyone for fear of rejection because of what it was. 1
Author hurtnomorerika Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 I think an affair makes it more difficult to end a relationship.

Soon as the word "married" comes out whoever you're talking to hears nothing else. Then you're automatically judged. You're right you have no one to talk to and when you do you just take the chances because you want answers soooo bad.
Author hurtnomorerika Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Since you recently had a baby, some of what you're feeling may be related to the hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy. After you give birth, the elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone that increased during pregnancy sharply drop and can lead to depression. You may also have been predisposed to postpartum depression due to the stress of the A. Have you spoken with your doctor or a counselor about how you're feeling? No I havent I think I may need to though. I feel so used and abused. I also feel played by my MM and he's rubbing it in my face. I want revenge, I have so much anger. We go to court this week and I feel like Im about to have a anxiety attack.

Childbirth can wreak havoc with your emotions for a while. The court appearance doesn't help the stress level. For your child's sake, you have to try to remain calm, especially in court. You never know what he is going to try to pull, so you want to make sure that you appear rational, responsible, and in control. I hope everything goes well and that your child get all of the child support to which she is entitled. 2

You may also have been predisposed to postpartum depression due to the stress of the A. Have you spoken with your doctor or a counselor about how you're feeling? Exact same thing I thought. I went through bad depression after the birth of my oldest son and that was without an A to add to the stress. Postpartum depression is very real and is completely treatable.
