I'm a single mother to a 4 month old, I didn't have the greatest pregnancy, my partner cheated on me with a married ex that he had reconnected with after years apart. I only found out when he finally confessed when I was nearing the end of my pregnancy. It's taken me quite a long time to process what has happened; the cheating, facing the remainder of the pregnancy on my own, going through labour without my partner and adapting to motherhood. I still find it difficult to let go and forget what my ex has done. I still think back to how he made me feel while I was pregnant, how alone I felt and how I never fully had his support. We've had a couple of heart to heart conversations and I've tried to explain what he put me through and how its impacted on me, but I don't think he truly gets it although at times he genuinely seems remorseful and does seem to regret what he's done. I'm still left asking myself why he did it, what was wrong with me, why he didn't think more of me and our relationship and why he did not want to be part of our family life. Sometimes I still have questions to ask him over what he did but I'm starting to think what's the point, it's not going to make much difference. Part of the insecurity is also because he moved in with this woman shortly after confessing and it has left me feeling not good enough. Why is this taking me so long to get over this? I know I'm not the first woman to go though this and I won't sadly be the last but can anyone provide me with some encouragement. As you can tell my confidence has taken a bit of a nose dive and I desperately want to get back on track and show him I didn't need him. Are things going to get better? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
