I thought this was within a relationship is there anything worse.......obviously in the overall scheme of life there are a lot worse things than heartbreak...in a relationship there isn't anything worse, in life, yes there are a lot of worse things.

Plenty of things are worse...but cheating is pretty darn nasty.

It's the biggest reason why I REFUSE to live on post (husband's Army) because I don't want to be surrounded by the gawd-awful drama of the enlisted men and their young wives. Somebody's always cheating on somebody, everyone is gossiping about it...just...nauseating. Ick.

I once had an officer's wife tell me that, because I'm a little older and much wiser than your average enlisted man's wife, it was my responsibility and obligation to participate in the groups and be a good role model to them and help guide them in life. I was like, "At the expense of my own sanity?? I think not."

I think being cheated on is enough to hurt anyone's ego. Although, I have to admit if it was a one time deal and they confessed.. I probably wouldn't be too devestated, I'd dump her and move on. If it was something that had been going on for a while and you were seeing clues but unsure, that's when it sucks.

If they'd do it to you, someone will do it to them. Life is special like that. Seen it play out once too many times in the exact fashion. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people, really.

Sure..like still thinking she was yours..... and being totally unaware that she was seeing another and shacking up with him.

Not much, no. Unfortunately, it is fairly common.

Remember, in most cases, whoever initiated the break up had already let the relationship in their heart and mind long before making it official. Post-break up, most dumpers are only interested in making things as easy as possible on themselves; the feelings of the dumpee no longer interest them. Most people, even otherwise good and decent people, are often horrible, selfish cowards when it comes to dealing with conflict.
