2.5 years into a relationship with the most beautiful woman, engaged 6 months ago, and… it’s all just imploding right before my eyes. In what feels like a few weeks, it like she’s a different person. There’s distance between us, an hour, and there’s kids involved from our previous marriages, so fixing that distance takes time, but I was working on it, future plans made to move over etc. She’s currently taking some time to ‘think’, but I know what this is. I’ve been here before. And I know sometime next week where I’ll be again. Nearly 4 years ago my first marriage ended with my wives affair with her boss. She left me for him. nearly 20 years together, 3 kids. Took a year to put the pieces of myself back together. When I got brave and put myself out there, I met my current partner and I thought this felt like it. The one. An until about a week ago, it did. I know I’m going to find myself back in the same spot very soon. Devastated. Hollowed out. Broken. How do we keep doing this without letting it break us? How do we find the light in the dark again? Does there come a point when you say to yourself you can’t keep doing this and maybe love and the happily ever after was just never meant for you. submitted by /u/RynosaurusRex82
