### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says "I was in a relationship with someone that took 5 years. We were planning on building a home together and he liked the idea and promised we would pull through together. I loved him so much that I would literary do nothing to heart his feeling. We built friendship for years and we had something beautiful and close to perfection. As time went on, I did not know what went wrong but he started showing disinterest in matters that concerns me . When it started we had the conversation. I was worried and he assured me nothing was wrong. I later found out with a great dismay that he was going out with one of our high school acquaintances . It really hurt the more when he told me what I thought we had was over. it shattered me emotional. He went from avoiding my calls to not wanting to see me around. it hurts me badly. As I recall this am feeling emotional because tit was a terrible period for me.".

I hooked up with him after a month of talking. usr : I'm ready to end this situation because I want the more emotional stuff I know Doug can't give. How do I get out? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sure it's frustrating that you're not getting the emotional support you need. It's great that you are reaching out to communicate with someone. usr : I heard of people falling for a fling or one night stand but this has gone on for months. Add to that, I see him at work. He's married and I don't see this as more than a long term hook up. Have you ever experienced something like this? usr : If you never experienced this do you know of anyone who has? What did they do to get out of this type of relationship if you want to call it that? sys : (Self-disclosure) I can sense your frustration, and his marriage just adds to that. I've known lots of people who've ended up in relationships with married people. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Just reaching out to talk with someone else is a great first step. usr : What did those people do to end the relationship if you want to call it that? usr : You keep saying it's good to reach out. I'm reaching out to you trying to find a way to turn off my emotions for this man. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Sometimes, a good first step is to reach out to friends who can help you fill your time and avoid interactions with him. sys : (Providing Suggestions) And co-workers often can help you find ways to avoid him in the office. Are others aware of the relationship who can help you with that? usr : My friends don't know about my situation with Doug. I do suspect some people at work are putting us eating lunch and taking walks together as something more. + usr : Doug make my sing and makes my body come alive but his presence is starting to break my heart because this situation is not going anywhere. I need help! It's not Doug's problem it's mine! usr : I don't like his wife because if she was treating him well he wouldn't be with me. So why doesn't she just let him go? usr : I'm starting to think if she was out the picture Doug and I could be together in a real relationship you know what I mean? sys : (Others) I can hear your anguish, and I understand your frustration. It's not clear to me, though, that Doug is being honest with you or with his wife. sys : (Question) You mentioned that Doug can't provide the emotional support that you need. Do you think he's being fully honest with you about his relationship with his wife? usr : I don't understand. Doug's married I know that but I want what his wife has so she's not the problem. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You're absolutely right. It sounds like Doug is the problem. He's cheating on his wife, and he's not giving you the emotional support you need. usr : All I want to know from you is to tell me how to get rid of the feelings I have for Doug or how to get rid of his wife since you think she's part of the problem?
(Providing Suggestions) With the holidays coming up, maybe you could avoid him for an extended stretch and really do something about what it is you are looking for in a partner.
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says "I knew Doug was married when we first started talking. It wasn't supposed to be anything serious. Just a fling! It's seven months and I know he won't leave his wife for me. I just don't how to get out of this.".
usr : Have you ever experienced anything like this? sys : (Question) can you tell me more about that? usr : I met Doug at work when I used to smoke outside the building.

The media says stay inside with love ones. Doug is my love one. Wouldn't I be putting myself at risk of getting the conrovirus meeting someone new?
(Others) I wouldn't say that Doug's wife is part of the problem. She's sounds like another victim of his philandering and dishonesty.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) You're right. It's best to err on the side of caution when it comes to covid. But remember that Doug isn't your loved one alone. He's sharing germs with both you and his wife. Maybe a lockdown -- emotional and physical -- will help you work to find an end to this relationship.

(Others) It would be great to be able to give you an easy and pain-free solution, but I don't know that that is possible when it comes to matters of the heart. If you truly love Doug and want to be with him, you should tell him that and see how he responds. You mentioned, though, that he can't give you the emotional support you need.

He's cheating on his wife, and he's not giving you the emotional support you need. usr : All I want to know from you is to tell me how to get rid of the feelings I have for Doug or how to get rid of his wife since you think she's part of the problem? sys : (Providing Suggestions) With the holidays coming up, maybe you could avoid him for an extended stretch and really do something about what it is you are looking for in a partner. usr : Like what? The media says stay inside with love ones. Doug is my love one. Wouldn't I be putting myself at risk of getting the conrovirus meeting someone new? sys : (Others) I wouldn't say that Doug's wife is part of the problem. She's sounds like another victim of his philandering and dishonesty. usr : Why do you keep focusing on the wife? You make it sound if I just kill her Doug and I could be happy and I wouldn't have to worry about his Philandering as you call it anymore. Are you saying I'm a Philanderer? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You're right. It's best to err on the side of caution when it comes to covid. But remember that Doug isn't your loved one alone. He's sharing germs with both you and his wife. Maybe a lockdown -- emotional and physical -- will help you work to find an end to this relationship. sys : (Providing Suggestions) How did you spend your time before you met Doug? Perhaps you could reconnect with other friends or find a hobby to fill your time. usr : You never answered my question about ever being in this type of situation. Did your mate/husband or whatever Philalnder on you and you haven't gotten over it? Are you still with the man/woman or whatever that broke your heart and cheated on you? Why cant you get over it? Is the only advice for me you have is to eat Thanksgiving dinner alone? sys : (Reflection of feelings) I absolutely have had my heart broken, yes. And I've spent some holidays alone. I can understand your pain. usr : I'm glad you understand my pain. I've spent and know how to be by myself. What I'm asking you how do I get out being in love with someone? sys : (Others) It would be great to be able to give you an easy and pain-free solution, but I don't know that that is possible when it comes to matters of the heart. If you truly love Doug and want to be with him, you should tell him that and see how he responds. You mentioned, though, that he can't give you the emotional support you need.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) If you truly believe, in your heart of hearts, that Doug can't be your everything, then you already have the answer: He is not "the one." He's the one right now. And you shouldn't have to settle for that. You sound like a strong and capable woman who should be loved and respected for everything she is.
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says "I knew Doug was married when we first started talking. It wasn't supposed to be anything serious. Just a fling! It's seven months and I know he won't leave his wife for me. I just don't how to get out of this.".
usr : Have you ever experienced anything like this? sys : (Question) can you tell me more about that? usr : I met Doug at work when I used to smoke outside the building. He's handsome, built and has a killer smile. We started talking and one night we hooked up. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like you're physically attracted to Doug and had a one-time encounter with him. Is that right? sys : (Question) can you tell me more about how you're feeling now? usr : Well, actually this has been going on for 7 months. I hooked up with him after a month of talking. usr : I'm ready to end this situation because I want the more emotional stuff I know Doug can't give. How do I get out? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sure it's frustrating that you're not getting the emotional support you need. It's great that you are reaching out to communicate with someone. usr : I heard of people falling for a fling or one night stand but this has gone on for months. Add to that, I see him at work. He's married and I don't see this as more than a long term hook up. Have you ever experienced something like this? usr : If you never experienced this do you know of anyone who has? What did they do to get out of this type of relationship if you want to call it that? sys : (Self-disclosure) I can sense your frustration, and his marriage just adds to that. I've known lots of people who've ended up in relationships with married people. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Just reaching out to talk with someone else is a great first step. usr : What did those people do to end the relationship if you want to call it that? usr : You keep saying it's good to reach out. I'm reaching out to you trying to find a way to turn off my emotions for this man. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Sometimes, a good first step is to reach out to friends who can help you fill your time and avoid interactions with him. sys : (Providing Suggestions) And co-workers often can help you find ways to avoid him in the office. Are others aware of the relationship who can help you with that? usr : My friends don't know about my situation with Doug. I do suspect some people at work are putting us eating lunch and taking walks together as something more. + usr : Doug make my sing and makes my body come alive but his presence is starting to break my heart because this situation is not going anywhere. I need help! It's not Doug's problem it's mine! usr : I don't like his wife because if she was treating him well he wouldn't be with me. So why doesn't she just let him go? usr : I'm starting to think if she was out the picture Doug and I could be together in a real relationship you know what I mean? sys : (Others) I can hear your anguish, and I understand your frustration. It's not clear to me, though, that Doug is being honest with you or with his wife. sys : (Question) You mentioned that Doug can't provide the emotional support that you need. Do you think he's being fully honest with you about his relationship with his wife? usr : I don't understand. Doug's married I know that but I want what his wife has so she's not the problem. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You're absolutely right. It sounds like Doug is the problem. He's cheating on his wife, and he's not giving you the emotional support you need. usr : All I want to know from you is to tell me how to get rid of the feelings I have for Doug or how to get rid of his wife since you think she's part of the problem? sys : (Providing Suggestions) With the holidays coming up, maybe you could avoid him for an extended stretch and really do something about what it is you are looking for in a partner. usr : Like what?

He's the one right now. And you shouldn't have to settle for that. You sound like a strong and capable woman who should be loved and respected for everything she is. usr : Okay so I eat Thanksgiving alone and I spend time alone. Okay tell me how i fill my nights alone up? How do I warm the other side of my bed which Doug fill so well. I meant he can't give me emotional support because he's married. There is so time, sex and emotional support he can give. And I don't why you assumed I am a woman because I'm not! Also, I don't think being with Doug is settling! I do however appreciate your time and effort.
(Others) I regret my assumption. I hope you can find happiness!

I'm sure there are a lot of things you can do. of course if you want to stay in the culinary field, you might need to get creative in the short term. have you thought about finding opportunities to be a private chef? or maybe even make pre-made meals to sell for people who don't want to or dont have time to cook for themselves? sys : (Providing Suggestions) another thing you might try is an online cooking lesson or something. with more people staying home and eating in, they might be interested in learning how to cook better food for themselves usr : You know what, i have never thought of that. Those are actually good suggestions. But im not sure if i am discipline enough to run that business on my own. I cook, and thats about it. The business part i've always had someone else doing that. I dont know if i know how to even set that stuff up. sys : (Providing Suggestions) that sounds like an opportunity in itself to me. i'm sure there are tons of people out there that have the business stuff but don't have the cooking skills. you could find a partner to help, and that way you won't have to do everything alone. usr : I dont know many people. i keep to myself. Dont know how i would find someone for the business side. usr : your ideas sound great, but they may be out of my league. I dont know if i am capable of doing my own business. sys : (Information) i totally get it, but especially now, there are a lot of opportunities for people who like to keep to themselves, since so many businesses are being forced to go online. you could put an ad on craigslist or facebook for people who might be interested sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) give yourself a little more credit. you put yourself out there enough to come on here for advice. that's pretty good self-awareness and more than i can say for some other people i know usr : Wow! you have great suggestions. Thank you so much for your ideas. I think i may give it a go. You have made me feel better about my situation, and gave me some action items to tackle. thank you for this conversation. sys : (Others) you're very welcome, i'm happy to help and glad you feel better! Best of luck to you! usr : Have a great night wise one.
(Others) lol you too ;)
