    My wife of seven years divorced me for my (former) best friend after having an affair with him for a few months. And the entire social circle supported their actions so I was left alone and without any friends.

    So, one of the shittiest years of my life.

    However, I then found a whole crowd of neurodivergent people, and I am able to unmask fully and be accepted and loved for who I am for the first time in my life.

    So, one of the best years of my life too.

    I am very emotionally confused this year.

        “That’s between you guys.” - general response

        So people wanted to avoid drama, but by taking that stance they sided by default.

        And yeah, I’m in a much better place. Thanks for your kind words. I still struggle with the trauma of the whole thing, and probably will for a while, but I have much better people in my life and I’m reading philosophy and theory on love and self-love. It’s helping for future relationships.
