Hey NC.... I know I shouldn't... but I read an LW story earlier.
Basically, a number of years ago my wife cheated on me. I've never recovered. I stayed with her. Forgiven not forgotten sorta shit.
Not that I care about titles but the story really got me thinking "am I the fucking wimp here?".
It destroyed me. Yet I stayed. I have bpd, which explains some of it I guess... but really, never got over it and have a pretty shit life...
Am I the fucking wimp?
Not much more I can add to what has already been said. You make the decisions that are right for you at the time. No decision is permanent. Well, except one, and noone wants to go down that route.
So. If you've changed your mind, or it's not working for you. Then you need to talk to her. Properly, calmly and carefully.
Think what you want to achieve. Be realistic. Where you want the relationship to be. And is she willing to put the effort in too.
You are NOT a wimp, and lit stories are not real life, or documentaries. Otherwise I'd be living a very different life to the one I have.
Keep with the therapy. Talk to them. Journal, write things down, talk to us. We can help where we can.
Life is fucked up and complicated. But you need to look after yourself and make sure you are OK, before worrying about anyone/thing else.
