How do you cope/deal with your feelings when he’s with his wife?
QuestionI’ve been in an affair for almost two years now. He’s married (no kids), and I don’t have any either. We talk constantly, texting all day, phone calls, everything. Even though he lives with her, he’s always consistent with me, which honestly makes it easy to forget what this actually is.
We see each other a lot, usually 4 to 5 times a week. Three of those days are at work, and then the other times we actually go out, hook up, stay over, etc. It feels like a real relationship most of the time.
But then there are those days, maybe a couple times a month, where he’s with her. Holidays, special occasions, things like that. And it hits me all over again. I feel like shit. Like I knew what I was getting into, but it still hurts.
Sometimes it genuinely feels like he’s mine, until reality snaps back and reminds me he’s not.
I don’t really know how to cope with that feeling. Any advice or anyone going through a similar thing?
