Anon1979 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Hi there. I was with my now ex for 26 years, our having met when I was 18 and she was 17. We were obsessed with each other and had a brilliant life together. Unfortunately, ten years ago, she had an affair and got pregnant. We got past this and the three of us (I raised the child as my own) had been living happily together until six months ago, when something snapped. The affair all came flooding back and I had a bit of a mental breakdown. I couldn't stop thinking about the affair or bringing it up and it started to affect my ex and our daughter. I had a look online for advice and the overwhelming response is that, in circumstances like mine, things can never be the same again and that we should separate. I am now looking to move out but I have never in my life felt so miserable - I literally do not want to go on. The thought of not living with my ex and our daughter is just as bad as the affair itself. I am struggling to work at the moment and spend most of my time crying and just constantly thinking about how things should have turned out. Any advice on how to cope would be much appreciated.
