Its been 11 days since he walked out after I found out he was still cheating on me. I cant help but feel like this is so unfair. I was the best wife I could be and incredibly faithful. He gets to move on and not be lonely and have sex with his affair partner and I cry myself to sleep alone and lonely. I entered this marriage with abandonment issues and now those wounds are ripped wide open. We have to be separated for a year and I cannot date in that time. Its considered adultery in my state even though he has abandoned our marriage and cheated. So he is allowed to have someone but I cant. Not that I want someone but I have a high drive and going a year celibate sounds like adding insult to severe injury. How do you all cope? How do you handle the lonely nights knowing your spouse is out living their best life? I dont know how much longer I can take this. The pain isnt lessening.
