Hi all

I've been here before so some of you may recognise my story.  I hope you don't get bored hearing again!  Basically my partner (well pretty much ex partner) cheated about 18 months ago.  I can't seem to get over it.  The anger is destroying me.  I can't seem to deal with the fact that both him and her are moving past it personally while I still feel so bad about it.  I can onlmy imagine proximity to him is prolonging the problem and I'm working on that but what if the anger never leaves? 

Thanks

Hi Blondgirl,

Personally, I think your right in assuming that the close proximity to him is still bringing the feelings of anger to the surface. So saying that is there anything you can do to get no contact with him? You mentioned in your first posts them him doing what he did absolved you of any guilt at leaving him, so why haven't you left him yet?

You ask if the anger will ever leave, and the answer is yes it will one day, if you work on it. But staying with him when you don't want to be with him won't lead you there.

Morning

Thanks for your post.  I know you're right.  I'm not sure why I find it hard to leave.  He's a good friend but I have plenty of those!  This whole thing has crushed me to the point where I'm not sure how to get up but I know this isn't the right way.
