When they cheat with a 'poly' friend...

and you know they are both just happily cheating on each other under the guise of it being 'polyamory.' Ugh! I am so ready for karma to just wreck them both. We were all friends, and they cheated on their long term partners. Both people are miserable gnats. But I also am driven mad by the idea that they are ok with being miserable gnats because they can say 'oh I just am not built for a monogamous relationship' and excuse their behavior under a 'nice girl'/'nice guy' disguise. But they were built for a 10 year relationship and a 5 year engagement??? No I think they are just sucky weak humans who found someone to be sucky and weak with...

I dont know guys. Im just sad and angry. It's been close to a year and I am doing so well, have people who love me and someone who really likes me. But for some reason I just cant release these two people from my life. Lately I've been thinking about my ex and while I despise him and my once friend, I also wish he would just apologize and work on himself. Hell maybe he is, but by golly not enough! lol It's just complicated and something Im sure you all have dealt with before. Time will heal. Time, time, and more time.

I am 8 months out of my relationship where my ex had an affair with our engaged friend. Both parties ended up showing me that they are selfish, weak people. I know this. I know I am better off without them in my life, as much as it hurts. But I find that I am still angry at them and it makes it hard to emotionally move on. I don't hate them because I just kind of can't. I don't want to have the emotion weight of that. But I also harbor animosity towards them still and can't say I wish them the best.

What helped you emotionally detach from your relationship, especially from the affair partner if you experienced being cheated on (I am so sorry)?
