If you decide to breakup after finding out your partner has been cheating on you, it is easy to slip into feeling like a failure. I know those feelings crept into my heart, in between the rage I felt at Brian for cheating on me. Somehow I managed to blame myself for his idiotic behaviour. I guess if we blame ourselves we give ourselves some control over the situation – if we take some of the blame, we could have done something to change things…even if this isn’t true.
The anger leaves us for a moment, an hour or a day, and easily we fill that void with feeling like a failure. Is it possible to control these feelings that creep up on us in the long hours of sleepless nights. Haven’t we been punished enough by our partner’s behaviour? Do we need to punish ourselves some more with our feelings of failure at weak moments?
Take a look at my earlier post on How To Get Past Feeling Like A Failure and start to recognize that your feelings of failure are just an interpretation of an event (the affair and the breakup). Get past these feelings and move on to growth and being the person you really are, the person your cheating ex does not deserve!
