I was with my significant other for 20 years and not married. We have shared a lot but we are much different types of people. I recently found out that he has been staying overnight and taking out another person. This person is totally opposite of me. We have no children and he never wanted them but she has three and I know her children very well and he does love being with them. He says he knows that no one could love him like I do but he feels like the "little things" will never change and wanted something different.
This all came like a ton of bricks as I thought we were getting along great and all of the sudden he his spending the night at her house and acting like a family. He is moving his things out soon but I cannot eat or sleep and I cry constantly. I just cannot get over this. I am 40 years old with no children and feel like I wasted the best years of my life. How can I go on and see anything positive about this. How have some you coped with being betrayed after a very long term relationship? Especially to be with someone totally different than yourself. If he would have left me for someone I could be jealous of, it might make more sense. But I am just beside myself. My whole family is upset. Please help?
