So only a few weeks ago I was cheated on by my partner of 5 years. Ive since moved out with my child but I'm really struggling with the break up. I'm still wanting to contact him even though I know it's not helping. Does anyone have any tips on how to feel better and to move on? I know i should cut contact but how do i do that when we have a child together? Thank you

It takes time. Make a commitment to yourself that you won’t drink much alcohol (because that leads to the kind of contact you don’t want), keep yourself busy, journal, ring a friend instead.
I’d also try and only text as much as possible. Write the text and put the phone down for 1/2 hour before sending or deleting.
Keep remembering what he did, how you cant trust him anyway, how its definitely over and this pain will pass quicker the more you dont contact him. One thing I found was that while it was the worst pain and breakup, it was actually the easiest to get over once i got over the shock and upside down life changing breakup. Try going on a dating site instead when you feel like contacting him, have a flirt online, or just check out some profiles, until it passes. Message your friends instead as well. Keep moving forward.
Why do u needs no contact? Seems like you need to join after the affair fb group. Lots of helpful advice in that group. I’m dealing with all this at the moment as well. My husband of 22 years had a 5 month sexual affair.
We are trying to reconcile.
