Dazed and confused.
Good morning everyone. This will be my first post here, not sure where else to turn. My wife and I had been together more than 4 years and married for 2 years so we are very new. We met and have been working at the same company for that time period. I received a text message from an unknown number a few months ago stating my wife was cheating on me with someone that we work with. At first, she denied it and later on it all came out. I found out she was having an emotional affair with this guy and still continues seeing him to this day. We already spoke about everything. She wanted to wait a year to see if she would like to continue this marriage, but i put my foot down and said its either him or me. She chose this younger man and now we will be getting a divorce. My wife now works at a different company, but this guy still works here and I seem him almost every day. I do my best to stay away from it all but it's extremely difficult.
I am having a rough time with all of this. I feel Like a part of my heart has been ripped out of me. I'm losing motivation to go to work, stay healthy, and be happy in life. I have always struggled with depression, and this is on another level for me. My emotions are driving me crazy and have never felt a pain like this in my life. I am speaking with a therapist and seeing a psychiatrist, but nothing is helping me get these bad thoughts out of my head. As difficult as this is im able to hold on because of my 2 boys (cats). I'M seeking help or advice on how to deal with all this. I feel so alone.
