Hello everyone! (Sry, English is not my first language so the text might sound a little weird at times)

First I wanna say thank you to this community. It's been a huge thing for me to be able to read stories of people in similar situations and receive good advice.

I (M) was discarded, betrayed and cheated on both physically and emotionally in late 2025 and early 2026. The woman I had loved for 7 years turned into someone I didn't recognize anymore. And all this happened when I was in a really bad place mentally and would have most needed support from her (Serious illness and death in immediate family).

Instead of support I was suddenly treated like a dog and due to being mentally in such a bad place, I couldn't stop it. I pursued reconciliation to which she agreed for some time halfheartedly. She ofc lied about cutting all contact with the ap at least two different occasions.

Looking back I don't understand how could I let someone treat myself like that. It all started when she began to drink more and talk to me really badly And a few weeks forward she agreed on cheating on me with a coworker and other really nasty stuff as well (for example, she lent money from me when I was crying about what had happened to our relationship, she later admitted she did choose that moment because she knew I would be vulnerable). She knew how worried I was, she knew how much she would hurt me, she knew I was in a really bad place mentally. But she didn't care. After we finally separated for good she seemed really worried when I said to her that I don't think she ever loved me. That was her biggest worry, that I don't believe her lies.

I'm good now, actually a lot better that I have been in a long time. At first when we separated the world seemed to end. It seemed there is no future without her. When time passed, I started to think other way around. I'm so glad she didn't want to reconcile anymore. I'm so glad that I'm finally free from her and thank god we don't have any children which means I don't have to ever see her again!

Have a nice day!
