Same boat. It was December 13, 2023 that I found out. Still waiting for the anger and hurt and deadness to stop.

I don't think it will stop. It hasn't for me. But it has gotten easier. Reaching the realization that I was infatuated with an idea of her, rather than who she really was, has helped.

Her mom had an affair when she was a kid and her parents divorced. She never forgave her mom, or so I thought. She swore up and down she'd never be like that. She clearly lied about her own principles.

Many hugs, friend. For what it's worth, I hope you're wrong and that it will stop someday. We've both still got a lot of living to do, and maybe even still some love buried deep in our black hearts.

I hope I'm wrong too. Best of luck friend
