โFor anyone new to this: About three years ago, that was me. For me it was checking his phone now. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI know you just found out and it feels like your whole world just got ripped up. I'm not going to tell you it's going to be fine because right now it's not. But you will sleep again. You will stop checking his phone. I still check sometimes, and it's crap. But it gets less. Find one person who will listen without judging. And if you can't sleep, put on a K-drama. It helps a little. I'm sorry this happened to you.โ
โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. I remember checking his phone now like it was yesterday. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.โ
โIt is hard when the person you trusted hurts you. You will feel angry, sad, and confused, maybe all at once. That is normal. Take your time. You do not have to decide anything today. If you can, talk to someone you trust. For me, it was my friend Faisal. He did not try to fix it, he just listened. And prayer helped me when I could not think straight. You will survive this, even if it does not feel like it now.โ
