I have spent the last year being an OW. I was in a relationship at the time and betrayed my partner in the most horrific ways. I ended my relationship, MM stayed in his despite up until the day before deciding he would stay with his wife, declaring how much he wanted to be with me. He disclosed the affair and she forgave. MM continues to contact me but he is blocked and I no longer reply. I have learnt a lot in the month or so since this happened, mainly in retrospect, the pack of lies MM spun and how foolish I was to believe any of it and destroy my relationship with a kind and generous man.
Now it is new year, I want to start anew but am still struggling greatly. I feel immense guilt towards MM's wife, my ex partner and a huge sense of loss of self at what I have become, the pain I have put people through and my selfishness. I also feel so alone. How do I move forward and become a better person?
