You thought you were safe with your partner. You thought you were in a healthy relationship.
Sure, there were issues, but nothing you two couldn’t handle.
You felt important to them. You thought they valued and respected your relationship.Â
But now, your entire world has been shattered. Everything you thought you knew has been turned on it’s head.
The reality of your relationship is entirely different than it was before.
You may be wondering if anything was even real.
Your whole world changed in a split second.
There is the world you thought you knew before discovering the betrayal and the world after.
You are shocked to discover that you’ve been living in a false reality without ever being given a choice in the matter.
Nothing about this harsh new reality feels safe or familiar.
It’s not fair. You didn’t ask for this.
But now you have to do all this work to get over it, whether you stay together or not.
You also have to make a decision you never wanted to make.
Do you stay or do you leave?
The bottom line is, you’ve got A LOT bubbling up.
Â
All these thoughts, questions, and feelings are flying through your mind faster than you can keep up with sometimes.
