This is a VERY long story. Even skipping parts will take awhile, so I'll hit the important things first. If anyone wants the whole story lmk, I really am interested to see if its me over thinking or if I had just been groomed to believe her constant lies because I wanted it to work so badly. We've been dating more or less since early 2013. She is actually 12 years older than me but never looked it. Still to this day her inboxes are flooded with men trying to hit on her or to just say "Hi

She cheated on you.

Is there some redemption for a 12 year relationship... Have you tried joint therapy?

Full story

Sorry this happened to you. It sucks to start over but just think, what else haven’t you found out? Women cover their tracks well. Is it worth going insane thinking about all the what if’s if you decide to move forward?

Are you threatened by other men?

Dudes using your girl as a sidepiece. Bro you need to dump her asap.

This is so f***** up I don’t know where to begin. I more worried about you not recognizing the problem you walked into. Work on yourself with professional help before getting into another relationship. Marriage counseling saved my marriage so I appreciate the guidance and impact of a professional perspective. I generally advocate for trying to save a relationship but RUN!

So you said you were together every night, when did she cheat?

Don’t beat yourself up thinking your entire relationship was a lie. I am sure there are many parts of your relationship that were real and feelings were mutual. She didn’t have to stay with you if she didn’t care/love you. But people drift apart and when there’s mental health disorders involved, and lack of expression/transparent communication, that can drive partners to behave inappropriately.

You’re walking away and your healing can now begin. Best of luck to you
