My main problem now seems to be a common theme with so many others here. Just feeling jaded. Though I know it's not always true my feeling on love stands as this: what is the point? Loving someone and giving yourself to them completely is giving them the power to completely destroy you. I feel that I have such a wall erected around my heart currently and he will always be the one who has the only ammo that can still penetrate my wall and never miss my heart. I feel like it is going to take me years to get over all that he has done to me. And in addition the poor decisions he continues to make. I know that I am ruined for any man that might love me in the foreseeable future because I am so jaded. I feel like I just still want to wallow in my self pity.
All I have.... Is nothing. All I've treasured... Is dust. You came at me with no warning. You've broken all of my trust.
Where do I go now? What path is the right to follow? You handed me a fist full of glass. Why look confused when I can't swallow?
I built my world around you. Hindsight points to bricks. Oh if only I had known big bad wolf, I wouldn't have chosen sticks....

Its normal to feel jaded, sad, frustrated, bitter etc during the process of dealing with the betrayal and fallout.
I may be an optimist but I believe that if I do the work to deal with the trauma of infidelity and divorce I will come out of it better and stronger. I will be more able to not only love deeper and more fulfillingly, but also to pull the plug early when a relationship is not healthy for me.

Your words pierced my heart. Did you write that? It expressed my feelings so eloquently. Painfully beautiful.
I feel jaded also.
Every person I meet now, I wonder, "who are you really?"
I used to be so trusting, just took people at their word, believed they were who they portrayed themselves to be. Now, I feel like I don't trust anyone. Only those that I have known for years that have proven themselves to me.
No words of advice, no clue how I will be. Just in the same place. I had my first court hearing yesterday.
It is hard to face the changes in yourself. Not sure yet which ones to keep.

I would now like to be known as Can!

Divorced!
I wake up in the middle of the night with thoughts stuck in my head so I started putting them down.
I feel the same - I hardly trust anyone. Especially since he picked a lot of girls who were my friends or people we hung out with.
Who is left in the world? I have significantly cut people from my life. I feel that most people were just "fillers".
There is nothing sad or pathetic in loving someone. His actions are no a reflection on you.
You have a gift with the pen, it has been said it is sharper than the sword. Give voice to your pain, it will help you to process, heal and move forward.
