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.

Psychostick - From the Heart (I Hate You)

This is very rewarding to sing along to, and the lyrics might even raise a smile.

Also look up Michelle Elman on Instagram - she's a life coach who gives SOLID relationship advice. Her idiot boyfriend thought he'd get away with cheating on someone with about half a million social media followers, she revealed his face when announcing their engagement, received a message from one of her followers saying that she had slept with this guy, he'd told her he was single. She ended the engagement less than 24 hours later and is now getting through the break up. She is AMAZING, and has some great song recommendations too!

Demi Lovato - Really don't care
Fuck you right back - frankee

I see red by Everybody loves an outlaw.

Did you really think I'd just forgive and forget.
After catching you with her your blood should run cold,so cold
You two timing cheap lying wannabe
You're a fool if you thought I'd just let this go
I see red

Tattooedcoffeeaddict · 27/06/2024 11:01

If you want to wallow I’d go for:
December - Neck Deep
Misery - The Gaslight Anthem
All too Well - Taylor Swift (I like the ten minute version)

Uplifting/angry:
Get Better - Frank Turner
Good as Hell - Lizzo (although if you want something angrier sounding there’s an amazing cover of this by a band called Cold Years)
GFY - Blackbear (best break up song ever!)
The Smallest Man who Ever lived/ Better than Revenge/We are never getting back together - Taylor Swift
Sticks and Bricks - A Day to Remember
The Angel in the Marble - Holding Absence
Black me Out - Against Me!

Shout Out to My Ex - Little Mix (apologies if it's already been mentioned)

Blackbeardsvest · 27/06/2024 11:35

Loads that have already been mentioned plus Leave (Get Out) by Jojo and Go by Cat Burns (love Cat Burns!), both perfect 'fuck you's' in song form Smile

SoulSurvivor · 27/06/2024 11:49

Kelly Clarkson - Since youve been gone

pussy cat dolls - i dont need a man

Nicole Schzinger - dont hold your breath

Jojo - too little too late

I sent it to my dickhead ex the day I left him. 😁

Look up Lolo - the album falling for robots and wishing I was one. The lyrics to just about every song are brilliant. I found it a couple of days ago and have spent the time since wishing I had it in my twenties. Just perfect.

ItsNotInMyMind · 27/06/2024 20:58

I like belting out Titaniuuuuuuuum when I need a lift.

erinaceus · 27/06/2024 21:04

I have a crowdsourced Spotify playlist along these lines from when I was going through my divorce. I asked my friends and family to add songs to it and it made me feel so loved when they took the time 🥰

It wasn’t the same situation as yours but I still recommend this approach and I still have the playlist to send to others as needed (PM me if you want the link).

Hope things get better for you OP.

Best Days of Your Life - Kellie Pickler

This song got me through a bad break up with a lying, cheating ex. It was co-written with Taylor Swift who also appears in the video. And the video is great - the cheating scumbag gets run over by a bus.

I’m sorry you are going through this, Wills. It is his loss and you deserve better

@Rosemarycc such a classic. Loved it as a teenager.

Anotherlurkingmale · 28/06/2024 10:34

Loads from Ben Folds Five - try Selfless, Cold and Composed, Erase Me and Song for the Dumped, though the latter is a bit tongue in cheek
