no way. it was the best move i ever made. wasted 2 years of my life on here trying to get this nut to come to her senses. so much happier now with someone who lives nearby and is actually somewhat normal.
xxDandelionxx: No, not in shock - just bloody destitute, took me the best part of 17 years to get to anything close to living like a normal human being!!
I used to live in Vancouver, my friend...... one of the best places on the planet, you lucky devil!
vancouver...welll no wonder it took 17 years..$$$...lol
time4fun4u: No woman has ever left me,which is understandable. However,when i leave them,i end up with scratch marks on my legs where they are clinging on begging me not to go.
wayward19: I ask this question based on my experience in finding out my partner was cheating and discovered it when it was too late to do anything. I moved out of town to get away. I was in shock, unable to think clearly and took a couple of years or so to get a grip of myself. Were you in shock when you left your partner?
I couldn't call it 'shock'. We'd been together for 6 years and she hadn't worked a day nor taken care of our place or her own sons for that matter. I was devastated, I felt used and pissed off. I would've felt better had I been at fault... Not only that but she'd stolen my ride in the process. The only things that prevented me from jumping under a train were my kids and the fact that I'd met a very young and affectionate lady a few weeks later. She grabbed me and nursed my heart back to health for the next year and a half. I was 36 and she was 19, we both knew it couldn't last so after that time I used my connections and a little of my magic to get her into Job Corps where I knew she'd be taken care of. I owed her that much, she'd saved my life.

Well if WE are the ones leaving OUR partners, I'm pretty sure we're not shocked! Now if it's the other way around, that might cause some shock. I just left mine after 2 years. No, I wasn't shocked and frankly I don't thing he was either. I kept telling him and warning him, so at this point there is no surprise. He just thinks I'm mad and will get over it soon. Not this time. We all have our limits and I reached mine. THAT is the shock to HIM! lol

im still in shock. i was with him for 14 months, i fell in love so fast, was more of a wife to him than just a girlfriend. i even stood by his side when i knew he was wrong onl to have been taken for granted, cheated on and treated like i never mattered to him. i don't understand. i'm confused, lonely and m heart is bleeding. no one understands why i cried so much over a man that wasn't right for me. yes, i'm still in shock.

A couple YEARS to get over a cheating wife...?? Mine left Me...The Hard Way..!! (Widowed -'98) After 2 years of Total Misery... my son ~rescued~ me from myself... I was so low that I would've needed to reach UP...to Carp-level..!!
He wanted to stay in USA and I didn't feel that USA is my home place.
So we have had a very peaceful divorce. It was a difficult decision for me and him, because we loved each other. But I had to think about my sanity, I wanted to find a place which I will call HOME. I have found it here in Canada, And he is happy in New Jersey.
We keep in touch and everyone is happy. Life can be very complicated.
When I left my ex-husband, I was dissociated and very confused. But that night I slept better than I had in years. I could say that I was numb, very numb, but I knew that I was doing the right thing.
Time heals many wounds... especially if you get help from people who are trained in these matters.

Oh yes, I was not only shocked to see my GF in my flat, on my bed with another man right in front of me just 6 months before wedding. There was hatred, anger and sadness all at once, dam I was lost for goodness sake, I was in hell at that moment, there was so much pain. I told her never to come back, it was sad to say this after more than 10 years of friendship and relationship but I had to make the bold decision though I loved her so much so dearly. It took me 3 dam years to overcome the pain; it’s now 10 years and I am grateful I made the right decision. After 6 years she calls me up and says; can you please give me just 5 minutes for me to say I am sorry for what I did to you, you had never given me a chance to say sorry because the thought of not saying sorry is still haunting and hurting me.

My husband left me. He didn't want to. He died It broke my heart. There are really no words to describe for the pain I felt. When I read the post about cheating it takes me back to the early years of our marriage. I had met a man and for some reason call it hormones or phermones something seem to make me notice him. I tried not to. And one day the thought of cheating crossed my mind. And in the same instant the thought of the pain it would inflict on my husband. You see I loved my husband to much to ever do anything to hurt him. I never forgot how I felt at the thought of hurting him and I never again entertained the thought of cheating or doing anything to hurt him again. As strange as it sounds I loved him so much to hurt him would of broke my heart
