I stayed through emotional and physical affairs. Since separating, I’ve learned she has “talked to” many people during our relationship.

After all the forgiveness and trying to be what was needed, she asked for a separation and then said she doesn’t ever see us getting back together.

I feel so foolish for staying. I feel like the forgiveness and painful work I thought we were doing together was taken advantage of. I feel like I was being used to ensure she was in a good place before leaving. She seems to be doing fine and living her best life while I am feeling lost, alone and foolish.

How do I recover? How do I forgive myself? How do I coparent with this person? Will things get better?
