I have! We were never married but together for almost 6 yrs and i helped taise her daughter. But we now have a great friendship and co parent raising the daughter. Her dad has never really been in her life and looks at me as her dad and love her like my own. Always have and will. But it was rough on me right after it happened. I was actually in a spot where i needed someone the most in my life when it happened too. But ive forgiven her and am sooo grateful she came into my life or i wouldnt be the “father” i am to our daughter today. So it worked out for everyone. And i believe everything happens for a reason now.

It is hearing stories of others who have made it through stronger that really helps. The fact that you were able to not only forgive but to now co-parent her daughter is such a true testament of you strength. Thank you for sharing. I know it is such an uncomfortable topic but it’s stories like these that I was looking for. That we can overcome. @Clovisman

I dont find my story uncomfortable at all honestly. I had my own demons i was fighting at the time and now looking back i can honestly look at it like this........can you blame her for cheating on you!? You were a terrible person, and boyfriend! You werent there for her and when u were there you really weren't! In NO way or situation am i saying it ok to cheat but i really cant say i blame her. Maybe it was her way of finding a way out of the relationship with me. There would have been a much easier and honest way to go about it but it happened and i can never change that and she has even apologized to me since for the way it all happened. But like i read on down, time is the very best thing to heal a heart but when u meet someone else you will forget all about him and realize what you really deserve. And it wasnt him. And im open to answer any other questions or thoughts you have on it. Its hard dealimg with but but it can and must be done! Dont let it drag you down and consume you. It will eat you alive. You deserve better! @SlaveToHealing
