Found out my wife/partner of 16 years has cheated and I'm dying inside
I'm 32 and has been with my partner since we were kids.
Long story short we had some issues (which I take responsibility for my part in) that eventually led my wife to feeling detached and not in love with me and instead of having a real conversation early on she decided not to and let the feelings fester.
It led to her pulling away not wanting any physical intimacy with me of any kind but admitting that she did want it just not from me. Eventually I found out she had been messaging some guy and developing feelings for him and then discovered she kissed him.
It has been a few days and I am feeling a wide range of emotions from anger to sadness. There's moments where I just miss her and feel like Idk if I want to be with anyone else but then I think back to what she did and I feel awful for even having those thoughts.
To make matters more complicated we have a 1.5 year old together and it kills me to think I won't see him every day or he won't see his mom everyday.
I just really need support.
