Im after any advice you have to help me not give a crap, I'm sure there are many of you going through similar or have come through the other side.
2.5 years ago I found out my partner of 13 years was cheating on me with someone from his work, he promised it wouldn't happen again, it was a one off, didn't mean anything, the usual script, I wanted to believe him so gave it another go.
I threw myself into our relationship and I guess without realising I was doing the "pick me" dance, cut a long story short pretty much every 3 months I would find evidence that it had happened again, after 9 months I finally saw the light and told him to leave, we then co parented successfully for a year and all was ok, we generally get on so would take the children out, he would stay over etc, he's a good dad who is always there for me and our children when I need him.
This week I have found out they are now in a relationship and it's knocked me back to where I was when I first found out, I don't want to be with him but it still feels pretty crap, it's stressing me out thinking that the person who played a part in wrecking my family could become part of my children's lives, I've also told him there's no way I can carry on as we were now I know he's with her.
I was fully prepared that he would go back as he's proved many times he's weak so I'm not sure why I feel like this.
Any wise words to help me move on?
