hard to say goodbye

[cosmomartini]

Hello,
I've posted here before for advice and everyone was so helpful with my original problem (caught my boyfriend of 2 years sexting a family friend) my issue now is letting go and saying goodbye to people I love dearly like his mom and step dad, I've got to know them and deeply care for them
I know this sounds silly but I think I'll miss his mom more than I'll miss him. I also think that's why I've stayed with him even after finding out what he was upto. I wouldn't want to upset her, we do a lot together and she is a friend. Any advice? x

I'm so sorry you are in this position. My ex-H had an affair & we divorced but I have stayed in touch with several of his family members. It's perfectly possible to do. You just need to remember it's best not to discuss him as he will always be their son. They will probably feel very upset by the whole thing too. If you are friends with them they will be happy to maintain the relationship with you. I hope you manage to find a way forward.

When i divorced , loosing touch with exh family made me sad but i kept in touch with exh mum and sister and nieces. The key is not to say anything bad about them (even though you want to!)

She might stay in contact even though you've split if you're really close?

It's possible to stay friends. I have done it in the past.
But if that's not an option just remember that although it's sad 2 years ago she was just your new boyfriends mum, where as you.... well you and you are going to be together forever. It's your overall happiness that counts long term.x
