My husband of 26 years (together 34) has had an affair and I've talked about this in threads last week. Now what I need is some really strong songs that I can belt out to lift my spirits. So far I have:
Flowers - Miley Cyrus
What a fool believes - The doobie brothers
(possibly) Good Thing - FYC

Please could I have more.

You too! Shit isn't it! But some incredible songs on here. Mine still wants to 'retire' with me in 10-15 years time!!!

Ha I got that too! Was so excited about our future retirement together - while confessing to having multiple affairs. Knob :)

The best upbeat (although vengeful) breakup song I've heard:

Shitlist by L7. Perfect for the rage!
It’s seen me through all of my dead relationships and my bitterly disappointing sham of a marriage.
My shit list has lengthened over the years. 😁

FU by Miley Cyrus
I’m Gonna Be Alright by Jennifer Lopez
Take a Bow by Rihanna

Yesterday by Toni Braxton but there’s a line about him begging to come back which might not be what you need. It’s a great tune though about an affair.

Natalie Imbruglia's Big Mistake always used to really cheer me up when the cheating weasel of an ex tried to come crawling back.
