It has hit me out of the blue, I had no doubts over our relationship. Have been married for almost 5 years, in a relationship for about 12 years. We were both 18 when we met and started dating. I have never known anyone else, or even dated anyone else. This has happened so suddenly. She also said how she feels like she needs to be single for a while as life was becoming too intense and she’s not ready to commit to this for the rest of her life. She moved out of our house and has no intention of working by things out, said she wants a clean break. There are no children involved. I think with time I could probably get over the cheating and move on (although of course I can never trust her, but many people get cheated on, that seems to be what happens in life), but I do not think I will ever get over what she has said about attraction or her future. I feel like this will haunt me forever, and I am genuinely scared about my own future because I don’t understand how I can ever trust another woman again? Has anyone experienced something similar. How do you manage such a sudden and one-sided breakup? I can’t even stomach the idea of getting divorced, but know it will have to happen. submitted by /u/BaconHawk1
