Just a Guy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hi tvparty, so are there any updates? How ate you doing? It is a terrible time to be alone for a young man. Do you have single guy friends that you can hang out with? Try and make it through the festive season having as much gun as you can. Do not let thoughts of your cheating GF bring you down. Why not try and meet good female company at places frequented by them? Not bars but at social gatherings, church functions and such like. Just do yourself a favour. Warm wished. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
merrmeade Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The first couple weeks were great, but her patience in dealing with my healing over the infidelity started to wear thin quick. She started to stray. Her drinking amped up again and she retreated. She wanted me to be over the affair overnight and that was not possible. I am currently keeping active no contact while I maneuver out of the house to avoid drama. I plan to go full No Contact in a couple days as soon as get out. After all of this awful behavior and emotional abuse, I still do love her. I know who she is deep down and this is not like her. The death of her father and the coupling of her heavy drinking...changed her. Turned her cold on me. Do you guys really think she is "in love" with this guy so quickly?! A week before this happened, she told me she wanted to spend her life with me. This has me in a state of shock. I wonder if she will regret this? Not sure if I would ever take her back unless she got help. Any positive advice? How she reacted to her father's death and to you are a huge red flag even without the affair. You got rid of her just in time. That's the way to think about this. All the ways you feel are normal. You're so ahead of the game with No Contact. I'm sorry you have to suffer for her sake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
4fin Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yeah, I get that... But then I guess you don't have a lot of self respect, and no offense. Dude, if she begged you back it would be foolish if you took her back. And yes, the word is crazy. My guess is that she is undiagnosed bi polar and her fathers death sent her into a manic state. The thing is that you cannot fix that. If she came back, if she goes on meds, if she stopped drinking, if she stopped seeing the new guy, if you were monitoring her 24 hours a day, if, if, if, if. What I am telling you is I have lived this. It does not work, no matter how much you love a woman, you cannot fix her and you never will. I spent 26 years of my life with a woman like this and it was a nightmare. Please believe what we are telling you... I came to this thread late but there couldn't be more truth in what BP says about ifs. I had my ass handed to me by this lady who had a hedge fund of sorts on farm land and I had some questions about our farm. I said "if commodity prices stay high and if the government subsidies stay the same and if there are no changes to the crop insurance program" when she immediately cut me off. She said you just spit out 3 if's that if you are wrong on any one of them you'll lose your ass farming. It was embarrassing but so true. I'd run. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author tvpartytonight Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi tvparty, so are there any updates? How ate you doing? It is a terrible time to be alone for a young man. Do you have single guy friends that you can hang out with? Try and make it through the festive season having as much gun as you can. Do not let thoughts of your cheating GF bring you down.

I am doing ok regardless. New Year, new horizons. She went and got married on New Years day. A friend showed me her photos she posted. She went and got married 3 weeks after we broke up. Bizarre. It is utterly mind blowing. I feel like it is a weird dream. I have nothing good to say about her. As I sit am sitting here, processing my feelings like a normal person does...and she is living in a fantasy realm. It feels unfair. I don't know what else to say about it.

2.50 a gallon Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Bizarre is right. Count you blessings that I was not you 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Guy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi tvpartytonight, sorry to know that your GF of 5 + years had a shotgun wedding with a guy she knew for barely a couple of months or so. In any case her actions tell you exactly what kind of person she is. There is no point your shedding any tears for someone like her or even allowing her memory to occupy your thoughts. For you it is good riddance of bad rubbish. You should not sit in your room and mope but go out and have all the fun you can. There will be plenty of ladies out there who will love you for yourself and who would commit to you for life. Go out and find them. Warm wishes. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I'd say from your words, you've started recovery - feel like ...; ...nothing good to say about her; ...processing my feelings like a normal person does; ...unfair. It's all those things and would suck whether it was New Year's day or not. You have to do this, and you will be SO relieved at some point. You're rid of her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
doyathinkso Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Although you don't realize it fully just yet you have dodged a big bullet my friend. She is an alky. She is seriously effed up! Count your blessings and move on. Someone who you deserve and who deserves you is in your future. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Cephalopod Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 She realized that she was too much of a piece of **** to be married to a guy like you. Let her and this loser stew in each other's juices. They deserve each other. You on the other hand deserve a good woman and a good life. You'll find both. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BarbedFenceRider Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 On the other hand...You have statistics on your side. Over 90% of relationships that start in infidelity end in failure not long after....

Veronica73 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ugh. I’m sorry you’re going through this. She didn’t deserve you and you will be better off without her in the long run. Even though it hurts now 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aliveagain Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 She is not your problem anymore, you dodged a bullet. Like I said earlier, loose her number, destroy all pictures, letters, anything that reminds you of her. Your now free to make yourself happy. I am unlisted to this day so my crazy ex can never find me again. Be happy, you have been given a new chance at having a great life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
