Honestly, I think it’s normal to feel really low after a separation. Even if you know deep down that things had to change, you’re still grieving the person, the relationship, the routine, and the life you thought you’d have. So don’t be too hard on yourself for having bad days.
Just take it one day at a time. Some days you’ll feel okay, and some days it’ll hit you again — and that’s okay. Try to keep yourself occupied, get out of the house, spend time with people you’re comfortable with, and don’t isolate yourself too much.
Most importantly, give yourself time. You don’t have to rush to “move on” or pretend you’re okay. Healing is not going to happen overnight. 🤍 rant, cry.. be human. Changes are uncomfortable.

Today is first day of the separation has started, son is with his dad for the week. It’ll be super hard but definitely keep yourself busy.

Well im no expert and im still navigating it all myself but I find let yourself feel sad and remind yourself there's a light at the end of tunnel... silly as it sounds i drown out the negative feelings with dancing and doing something that I've been meaning to tick of for myself (not housework) something genuinely for myself. But you will feel great again!
Since I got pregnant, my partner has been very secretive with his phone. Before, he was fine with me looking over his shoulder when he uses his phone but recently when I try to ask him who he was messaging, he would just put his phone away. There is this online friend that he started playing video games with during my pregnancy. They would play until after midnight so sometimes I would ask him if she was really just a friend and he would say im just being a paranoid jealous. I thought maybe I was but the thought of him cheating remained at the back of my mind.
Last night, I was in so much pain, and barely able to move at all. Meanwhile he was just stuck on his phone, said nothing at all, didnt even ask how I was doing.
I woke up around 2 am and he was asleep, his phone was near me and his game was on so his phone was unlocked. For the first time ever, I looked at his phone without him knowing. Looked at messages and i saw him texting his friend with I miss you. He also said 'I like you sorry just have to say it' and the last message being 'i could have woken you up by talking dirty to you' . One thing that irks me with his texts was it always ends with x with her but never with me or anyone else.
I know or I believe he hasnt physically cheated on me but this level of emotional cheating made me realise I was right all along. This is why he hasnt cared about me or my wellbeing since I gave birth, its because he likes this friend.

My partner cheated on and around Christmas time i found out but i was also very early pregnant. Anyway the usual i’ll change behaviour and all was fine. The girl he cheated on me with messaged me today as she couldnt get hold of him and told me theyve been seeing each other for months again. I had a 12 day old baby and a nearly 21 month old daughter. I really dont know what to say or think anymore
