sys : (Question) oh my goodness. I'm so sorry to hear that. when did you find out?
usr : Only very recently. I answered his phone and it was her! When I confronted him he admitted it.
sys : (Question) that's a hard way to find out. are you still in the same house?
usr : Yes because for financial reasons we have to be. Our relationship is really strained though and we are sleeping in separate bedrooms.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) i can't imagine what you are going through, but separate spaces sounds like a very good idea to me.
usr : It is made worse by the fact that we are in lockdown and so can't really see other people at the moment. Do you think I should try and break away for good?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) before you take any action, i'd ask myself what are your options?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) you know that his actions have very little to do with you and more to do with him, right?
usr : Well, I could move out but I can't afford to rent a flat on my own. I'd have to move in with my parents, realistically.
usr : I keep telling myself that but I feel really betrayed. I keep wondering what she is like and whether she is prettier and more successful than me.
sys : (Question) are your parents supportive of that idea?
usr : I have not really talked to them about it. I feel a bit ashamed having to admit to them that my relationship has not worked out.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) it's not about her or you. it's about him.
usr : But I can't help thinking that perhaps I did something wrong that made him stray?
sys : (Information) they will understand. opening up to them will be the hardest part. it's a shame cocktail, but it's not one you made
usr : Do you think that there is any point at all in trying to mend things at this stage? He has promised he will not see her again but I don't think I could ever trust him.
sys : (Information) it's in our nature as women to ask "what did I do?" but it is never about us or anything we did.
usr : Thank you, I am really glad that you understand. I don't feel that I will ever be able to trust any man again!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) trust and vunerability is huge in a relationship. i'd look for professional help if you wan tot try and work on it
usr : I can't really afford professional help. And I don't want to be a burden on my friends. I worry that I am already annoying them.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) do you have a friend who has been through a similar situation? sometime that helps. also, sharing your burden with someone does NOT add to their burden
usr : I do have a friend who has been through the same though ironically it is a male friend whose wife cheated on him!
sys : (Information) my guess is he felt the same way you are feeling right now
usr : Yes. It is just such a deep betrayal. I think I could have forgiven him if it had just been a one time mistake but he had been seeing her for ages.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) watch the brene brown video on youtube with the cartoon animal about empathy - it should help when looking for friends to rely upon
| (Self-disclosure) grrrr. that would make me angry too |

usr : Do you think that there is any point at all in trying to mend things at this stage? He has promised he will not see her again but I don't think I could ever trust him.
sys : (Information) it's in our nature as women to ask "what did I do?" but it is never about us or anything we did.
usr : Thank you, I am really glad that you understand. I don't feel that I will ever be able to trust any man again!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) trust and vunerability is huge in a relationship. i'd look for professional help if you wan tot try and work on it
usr : I can't really afford professional help. And I don't want to be a burden on my friends. I worry that I am already annoying them.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) do you have a friend who has been through a similar situation? sometime that helps. also, sharing your burden with someone does NOT add to their burden
usr : I do have a friend who has been through the same though ironically it is a male friend whose wife cheated on him!
sys : (Information) my guess is he felt the same way you are feeling right now
usr : Yes. It is just such a deep betrayal. I think I could have forgiven him if it had just been a one time mistake but he had been seeing her for ages.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) watch the brene brown video on youtube with the cartoon animal about empathy - it should help when looking for friends to rely upon
sys : (Self-disclosure) grrrr. that would make me angry too
usr : It is nice to have things to distract myself from the things that are making me feel terrible. Do you have any other suggestions for distractions?
usr : I just keep thinking that every evening when he was returning home with me and with every nice thing he said he was being false.
sys : (Information) i'm totally into the podcasts "a slob comes clean" basically it's about getting your poop in a group
usr : Hmm that sounds .. interesting :D. Is that a metaphor?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) that's so hard. imagine how much energy he had to use to keep his lives from colliding. he couldn't find a better use for that energy?!
usr : I know, right!! Do you think it would be helpful for me to try and talk to this woman and see how she feels? I dunno if she even realises that he was in a committed relationship
sys : (Self-disclosure) yes! LOL but it's been helping me focus my anxiety into being a bit more productive
usr : Anything that will help me with my anxiety is worth trying at the moment.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) what do you want to hear from her? is there anything she could say that woudl make you feel better?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) NO!! she's not going to be able to help you unless you need a witness for divorce court
usr : It would be less of a betrayal, I think, if she did not know about me. I would never do that to another woman!
sys : (Information) she likely knew, othewise how would he explain all the time he spent with you to her?
usr : I suppose that's a good point too. I think maybe I do just need to make a total break and not look back.
usr : I do appreciate you talking, you have helped me to see things a great deal more clearly than I previously did.
| (Providing Suggestions) glad i could help. please stay safe and no matter what you decide to do, you will be fine. |

I then exhale slowly through my nose and repeat for about 10 minutes. It can be very calming. |

usr : Yes, but I still seem to struggle with feeling a bit more down than I'd like. Not sure what to do.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Have you tried meditation and/or deep breathing exercises? I know I find that helpful when I am worrying.
usr : I have tried meditation before, but quite a bit back. Do you have any activities you could recommend, without risking my health? Maybe in my own home, so that I can social distance.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) One exercise I find helpful is lying on my back with a pillow under my head. I keep my legs bent and put a pillow under my knees for support. I then put one hand on my chest and one on my diaphram and slowly breathe through my nose feeling my stomach press against my hand. I then exhale slowly through my nose and repeat for about 10 minutes. It can be very calming.
usr : Okay, I will give that a try. I don't feel I'm at a level that I need therapy or medication, so this might be a good way to calm my nerves when I am feeling apprehensive or stressed out.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Good, I hope that helps. I would also trying to reach out to others who are experiencing the same. It is harder nowadays with covid but there are many online groups. You could even start your own group!
usr : Yes, I do find that there are times when I am on a social media outlet that it does seem to make me feel better. I can feel humor. But, it can be a bit depressing too. Maybe I should block the ones that have mostly negative posts?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I hear you on that. Sometimes social media can also be negative. I think that blocking negative posts is a great idea. It is a way of taking control
usr : I wished I had some more ideas on some fun, interesting or things to fill my time at home. I often feel I get in a bit of a rut with the same thing. Since we are home more now.
sys : (Question) Are there any hobbies that you have been interested in but never had the time for? Or perhaps hobbies that you used to do but have not tried in awhile?
usr : Well, I used to read quite a bit more, but I have slowed down on it. Maybe I should go and grab a few books. Thanks for the idea!
sys : (Self-disclosure) You are quite welcome. I too find reading to be a most welcome escape. It takes one's mind off of day to day worries.
usr : Yes, let's us escape to another world. I'm glad you got my mind on that. I feel better!
