The worst feeling ever. Literally felt like my heart was shattering, a wide range of negative emotions from anger to helplessness, I had trust issues for years after the fact. Then the worst thing is you want to get back with the person.

I'm over it now and still talk to her, amazingly she hasn't changed at all, she's married and has a kid but is still sleeping around.

Do the right thing and tell the husband.

I've thought about that, once a kid is involved though they become the #1 priority.

if I caused them to have a divorce and that kid's life turns into poo poo that's a lot worse than being cheated on.

uhhh shes the cheater, not you. if she wasn't cheating, you wouldn't have to tell the husband anything soooo...???

I don't HAVE to tell the husband anything, why would I pop into my ex's life just to open a can of worms and possibly gently caress up the kid?

at the same time, why the gently caress are you even involved with your ex in the first place? you are worried about the welfare of her child, but at the same time, don't want the responsibility of causing 'harm' by revealing a terrible truth. the third option is to cut ties with her completely, but you don't seem willing for that either so, which is the lesser evil?

I just talk to her now and then to see how she's doing because she does the same with me, recently she casually dropped that she's loving someone else. She lives a state away from me so we keep in touch but I'm not involved in her life.

I'm not trying to get involved in her life and open up a can of worms, I don't even know her husband.

gently caress being guilted by random goons

Probably would be better for the kid though to rip that relationship apart as early as possible so he might have a chance of seeing what a stable relationship looks like at least half of the time.

people keep hinting at this and as a child of divorced parents fffffuuuck that noise, all my friends that had non-divorced parents are all better off for it.

I never got confirmation, but I suspected a former GF cheated on me. What took me back was the way I internalized it; I blamed myself entirely and immediately spiraled into 24/7 self loathing. After a while I made peace with the fact that the situation was likely a bit less "cut and dried" than I had made it out to be. Sure, I had stuff to work on but her refusal to be honest meant she did too.

My experience was the opposite, I blamed her for everything and loving hated the poo poo out of her. Then about a month later I started realizing I wasn't perfect and shared a lot of the fault, people don't cheat for no reason, we made each other miserable.

She wan't "right" to cheat, but I wasn't a very good partner to begin with, so it is what it is.

not gunna lie, at the time I wanted to murder the gently caress out of her new boyfriend in savage and brutal ways.

after seeing what her life has become though, I think I might have gotten off lucky.

in other words, you're both equally loving broken and worthless

This is a very mean thing to say to someone and you should feel bad.
