"My husband of 10 years cheated on me. After a relationship based on honesty and trust, I came home early and caught him with another man. He was more embarrassed than apologetic and quickly turned it on being all my fault. He's now moved out, and I'm feeling sad and alone.". | sys : (Others) Good evening

sys : (Question) ok. How can I be of service tonight
usr : I'm just feeling sad and depressed over the breakup that I described above. Hoping for some inspiration.
sys : (Others) Tell me more please I am all ears
usr : I feel so betrayed. I was completely caught off guard. Now I don't know what to do with myself.
sys : (Question) When did this happen, How long ago
usr : Just this last week. I came home from work early Thursday. I guess I should have texted first so he could get rid of the guy. Or maybe not. Maybe it's better that I found out.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you had been together for awhile and all of a sudden he has another person in his life
usr : We were together almost ten years. Over nine and a half. I had no idea. I don't think the guy is even someone he really cares about. I don't know.
sys : (Question) Was this guy an associate of yours as well

sys : (Question) Did you have any children between you
usr : No, it was just the two of us. And two cats. Who are still here with me. There's that at least.
sys : (Question) DiId your partner work also
usr : Just from home. Self-published author, some online work, stuff like that. He made about as much as I did, I wasn't the sole breadwinner or anything.
sys : (Others) Maybe the time on his hands enabled to him meet someone while you were working. Did he have a following that you knew of
sys : (Question) has there been habits like this before
usr : Maybe it did. There are some fans of his work on social media, and he's on all the popular social media sights. I don't know if he me the guy online or what. There hasn't been anything like this before that I know of. Maybe there was. I trusted him and didn't look at his messages or anything.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) His actions none the less are not right
sys : (Question) Do you have an idea his websites
usr : No, they weren't, I agree there. He took all his devices with him. I can see his stuff from a user point of view, like anyone else in the public could, but nothing of his personal stuff.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) The fact that he cheated on you and I assume you broke up with him is hard
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) He must have a special account that people can access to, can you possibly find it out
usr : Yeah, we're over. And it is hard. I'll get past it I suppose. I don't think I could, but I don't really want to anyway at this point. It's not going to help us get back together or anything.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Maybe you need to focus on you now, and plan your days ahead.
usr : I think you're right. Just look forward.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Had you known before hand it might be of help, but the sudden impact does not make it any better
sys : (Information) if you look back you will have regrets. If you look forward you will see a future

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an breakup with partner. The seeker says
"My husband of 10 years cheated on me. After a relationship based on honesty and trust, I came home early and caught him with another man. He was more embarrassed than apologetic and quickly turned it on being all my fault. He's now moved out, and I'm feeling sad and alone.". | sys : (Others) Good evening
usr : Hello. How are you?
sys : (Question) ok. How can I be of service tonight
usr : I'm just feeling sad and depressed over the breakup that I described above. Hoping for some inspiration.
sys : (Others) Tell me more please I am all ears
usr : I feel so betrayed. I was completely caught off guard. Now I don't know what to do with myself.
sys : (Question) When did this happen, How long ago
usr : Just this last week. I came home from work early Thursday. I guess I should have texted first so he could get rid of the guy. Or maybe not. Maybe it's better that I found out.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you had been together for awhile and all of a sudden he has another person in his life
usr : We were together almost ten years. Over nine and a half. I had no idea. I don't think the guy is even someone he really cares about. I don't know.
sys : (Question) Was this guy an associate of yours as well
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So basically this guy was a stranger that you know of.

sys : (Others) I'd really recommend doing that, it could help you a lot! I wish you all the best and hope that 2021 is a better year for you.
usr : Okay. I also just moved to a new state, and don't really know anyone yet. It's a hard time for making new connections.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"My dad died last year, a few days after Christmas.". | sys : (Question) Hello there. Is there anything bothering you that you'd like to talk about at the moment?
usr : Hi. Yes, I'm having a hard time because last year my dad died a few days after Christmas.
sys : (Others) Oh I am so sorry! Dealing with bereavement is hard at any time but at this time of year I think that it is even worse.
usr : When people ask about Christmas plans, I don't want to depress everyone. But I can't pretend everything's okay.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) So you feel as though you have to avoid people because you do not want to make them feel bad that you are feeling bad?
usr : I don't know... I know my friends would be supportive. But then I feel like it's selfish of me to bring people down, when this whole year has been a downer for so many of us.
sys : (Question) Well let me ask you - if the situation were reversed, would you feel that a close friend was bringing you down if they talked about their bereavement?
usr : Maybe, but I wouldn't mind that.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Well, perhaps your friends would not mind you confiding in them either? That is what good friends are for, ultimately.
usr : Another thing is that my mom had died in January, the same year. So everyone has already dealt with me grieving all year. I don't want to just be associated with sadness for everyone.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I am really sorry about that - that is a seriously rough thing to have had to deal with. Do you have siblings and if so could you perhaps talk with them?
usr : I have a brother, but his wife is really terrible, and they are very close. He and I text some, and I try to keep that up. He doesn't need me the way I need him...
sys : (Information) What about some sort of professional therapy? There are some organisations out there that will provide a certain number of sessions for free
usr : Hmm, I didn't know that. I'm on a waiting list for a therapist through my medical insurance. I live in sort of rural Oregon, but maybe I could get help by text or video...
sys : (Providing Suggestions) That is a good idea, especially at this time when it's probably not a good idea to see too many new people in person. Could you call your doctor and ask them?
usr : The issue is finding someone you click with. I think that's hard. I'm not sure my doctor could do much for me - she's already got me on the waiting list for therapy through her organization.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Have you tried searching online? I have personally found some useful groups that have helped me deal with the mental health issues that I have.
usr : If it wasn't for COVID, I'd probably look into support groups...

| (Information) I understand completely. Depression runs in my family and if it goes untreated, can scare anyone that is involved. You can try suggesting that he talks to a close friend, family member, or counselor to talk about how he is feeling and ways to cope with it. Sometimes medication could be a good way to fix the chemical imbalance that can cause depression. |

usr : He said he has been struggling with depression and needed to be alone
sys : (Question) Sometimes having depression can make a person feel that they need to seclude themselves. Were you aware that he felt this way?
usr : He has been distant recently.
sys : (Information) Unfortunately that can be a sign of depression or that something is going on. Have you been able to communicate with him previously about becoming distant?
usr : Every time I would bring it up he would dismiss it. I just don't know what to do. How can I get him back?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe you could try to talk to him about seeking help for depression? Talking to someone close to him or even a professional would help him immensely. Talking to a counselor would help him learn ways to cope with his feelings.
usr : That is a good idea. I want him to get back to being himself. He is like a different person right now. It's scary.
sys : (Information) I understand completely. Depression runs in my family and if it goes untreated, can scare anyone that is involved. You can try suggesting that he talks to a close friend, family member, or counselor to talk about how he is feeling and ways to cope with it. Sometimes medication could be a good way to fix the chemical imbalance that can cause depression.
usr : I will try to help him, he just doesn't want to seem to talk to my anymore. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach it with him?
| (Providing Suggestions) You could start a conversation by saying that you just want to check on him and see if he is okay and how he is doing. You don't want to start the conversation by immediately telling him to get help, as he might just get defensive. |
