Pain from a past betrayl getting in the way of a good relationship

Question - (7 February 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 February 2011)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I should have moved on by now. How can I make the pain go away?

I was in a relationship with a man who lied to me about being married. We lasted a year and a half and not only fooled me, he fooled my family, my son, my friends, he hurt us all. I trully loved him and it was really hard to finally get to the point where I wasn't emotionally invested in him. Now four years later, I have met someone special. He really loves me and takes such good care of me. I feel really blessed. Not the mention the fact that he has taken my son under his wing and loves him as his own.

Yet, I still feel the pain of my scars. I feel really fragile, I never did get over the sense of betrayal and that humiliation. I don't always tell my current love why I am sad or shedding tears. But when I do he just tries to understand me. Shouldn't I feel nothing by now???

This new guys needs to be given the chance and you need to talk to him about everything that worries you. Honesty and openness is key to any relationship.

It sounds like he's very understanding and you've found a decent bloke.

bruce lee agony auntAh, I don't fully understand the question. But I think you should just let it go. Let it go.

Life is too short to let trivial things about the past upset you. Maybe what you're complaining about is trivial, and maybe it is serious.

But let's look at the bigger picture. You are now with a great guy who you trust. And you have the future to look forward to.

Life goes on. And shit happens. And then it hits the fan.

Good luck with the whole thing. It's hard to know exactly what to say because I don't fully understand what you're asking.

But I hope this helps.
