I’m late to the game on this one. I hope you are doing better and glad to hear you are moving on. Some people just really SUCK….but I’m a firm believer in karma. :)

I am glad you are ok girlie. You will get over it and it feels good to blog about that stuff.

I’ve never dealt with this issue but I have dealt with equally bad “relationship issues” – my take on all this:
1. Be happy you learned about this person’s true nature as soon as you did.
2. Be happy it’s not your conscience that has to live with this nastiness.
3. Know that eventually this feeling will fade and probably feel like something that happened to someone else.

Everything DOES happen for a reason. I am glad for all the things in my life that I have emotionally struggled with because they have taught me valuable lessons. They have made me who I am. I’m happy with that person. If I hadn’t had things happen to me like they did who knows where I would be or how happy I would be.

Try to focus on the benefits and how strong you feel now. Soon you will want to go out and try again :)

Times like this totally SUCK! You really do appear to be a very strong, intelligent woman!! Getting through this is something you’ll be able to look back on and be proud of yourself that you did make it through. Plus, having the insight you gain from these types of experiences is so empowering.

You so remind me of me (I think that’s why I read your blog). I got a tattoo the day after making one of the hardest decision of my life. It reminds me of how strong I had to be to make that choice and to not lose focus on what I want out of life.

Too long..sorry

So sorry to read this!

I agree with the other comments: from what I read on the blog you are a very strong woman. Flexible and smart enough to learn from the bad stuff and move on.

Time heals a lot and so does a great circle of friends!

Gorgeous tattoo by the way! And killer abs indeed. Reminds to drop by the gym again… ;-)

I agree with Jen. It also took me years to learn to trust my own judgment again, especially when it came to guys. But you are right – eventually it will be just a memory, and you will look back on it all as a learning experience. Glad you have friends around to support you! :)

I think the worst part about being cheated on is that it kind of challenges your world view–or at least it did for me. I went from thinking people were basically good to questioning the motives of everyone I encountered. It took me years to leave all that bitterness behind. You’re a very strong person, and I have no doubt that this will soon be nothing but a memory.

You are right, this experience while unfortunate will be a great learning experience. Hang in there!
