@marinaorlic I went through a divorce with a man that I later learned cheated on my multiple times. We were married for 16 years. Others knew about the cheating and I did not. He left me for another woman and in retrospect I realized that he'd "left" all sorts of clues along the way that I did not pick up on at the time. Like you, he erased me from his life which was very evident as we worked at the same university and crossed paths multiple times. When the marriage ended I was sad yet also very angry. I realized that I could use that anger to get things done. We did not have children frankly he saw no urgency in getting the divorce over with but I certainly did. Still, it took 15 months to finalize. During the process of divorce I was visiting with a high school friend and her parents. Her father told me that one day I would meet a kind man who would be good to me. That happened 7 years after the divorce was final and I had the opportunity to tell my friend's father how much his words meant to me.

Give yourself this time for sadness and grieving over your loss. Please do what you need to do to care for yourself and your dogs.

Will you come back here for support and let us know how you are feeling?
