Emotion: depression
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: Currently going through a divorce because wife is cheating.  We just got married earlier this year.  I'm hurt and broken that she just switched me off.

assistant: Hi there, how are you doing right now?

user: HI! Not good. I'm sad right now. I'm mad and angry all together.

assistant: So you are not having a good time at the moment? Can you tell me a little more about why?

user: No I'm not having a good time at all. I am so mad at my wife for cheating and not giving our marriage a second chance.

assistant: Your wife has been unfaithful to you? I can understand why you are so angry about that! Have the two of you considered counselling or are things beyond redemption now?

user: Yes she has been unfaithful. I think this person she is with is living with her now or staying there (I'm back in my home state now)

assistant: I am really sorry to hear that. I do know personally how betrayed you feel when you are cheated on. All I can say is, it does get better.

user: I would love to try counseling. She won't even talk to me. I came back home to stay with my family for a few weeks. She called and said it's all over. I found out she has someone else I have been miserable.

assistant: It sounds like you have been treated very poorly, do you agree with that?

user: Yes I have and everyone says to move on. I just don't know how to let her go in my head and heart. If she called me today and said come back I probably would go. I know I'm weak. I just love her.

assistant: Are there potential financial issues or do you think she'd be prepared to reach an amicable settlement?

user: No we just got married earlier this year. We never even got around to putting our finances together. So I'm good there. Thank goodness

assistant: She does not seem to have stayed true to her marriage vows for very long!

user: No and it shocks me because she was so against not getting a divorce. We think (her bff and sister) that she may be using drugs.

assistant: Wow that is very difficult. There are support agencies out there that can help the friends and family of addicts, I believe. Would you consider them?

user: I would. She won't even talk to me though. When I try to call and talk to her this other woman (the lady she's cheating on me with) answers her phone and will not let me talk to her.

assistant: That sounds really very controlling. Do you think that maybe she is regretting her decision but does not know what to do about it?

user: She could be (at least I hope she is) but if she is there's no sign of that. She has never said or showed it

assistant: Sometimes, unfortunately, you do just have to walk away from a mess if there's nothing you can do about it

user: I know. I'm struggling with letting go of her. It's like my brain is consumed with the thoughts. I want to let her go. I just love her so much. I would of never married her if I wasn't in it till the end.

assistant: I hear you on that. Unfortunately some people do not take commitment as seriously as others. I have been in that position and had my heart broken.

user: Yes I agree with that. How did you get over it? I feel like she just turned her feelings for me off. She blocked me on all social media and my number. Then again I'm sure the potential drugs could help with her turning her feelings off

assistant: Oh, I tracked him down and smashed his head in with an axe. Okay no I didn't really. I just told myself that I was better off without him and it was his loss. I am not sure I totally believed myself though. (sorry I had a temporary internet connection problem there)

user: I keep trying to tell myself that but I don't really believe it either. It's ok I think it just takes time. I am talking to someone that understands and wants to pursue me. But I can't let the wife go in my heart/head

assistant: I would advise not to rush into anything else too quickly. You need to give yourself time to grieve before you move on

user: This person is ready and this person knows all about how I feel about my wife. I'm not going to rush into it but it is nice having someone that wants to be with you.

assistant: I hope that I have been able to be of some comfort to you!

user: Yes it's nice having someone to chat with. Hope you have a nice evening.
