Here's My Story
I can't believe he would humiliate me, and betray me in this way.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years. 4 years ago we started what became a very successful business together. We had problems, but ultimately were always very good friends. About 16 months ago I feel into a deep depression after the death of my stepfather. My boyfriend was there for me, but I kind of checked out for a while. He did his part to try to help me back to normal - including offering to have a baby (not something he really wanted). At this point though we were having real problems communicating, and I stopped wanting a baby since our relationship had become so superficial. Two weeks ago I found out he had a brief but intense affair with our teenage intern (he is 41, I am 35). This has been devastating on many levels, including that he allowed me and her to interact for weeks afterwards, including us all sitting around and chatting. His affair with her also bracketed our first meeting with a relationship counselor, which I had set up. The worst pain is the stab in the back from my best friend. I can't believe he would humiliate me, and betray me in this way. I can accept a boyfriend messing around, but from my best friend and confidante? I also feel so damn old and redundant. Our business thrives on youth, and I feel suddenly like he was considering replacing me with a much younger, better model. I have suppressed a lot of my emotions, in order to deal with working next to him every day, but holding things in is killing me. I miss him so much as my boyfriend, but even more as my confidant, mate, and business partner.
