I've had the same thing pretty much happen to me. It will take some time, but it might help to just have a friend that will listen. My emotions were a roller coster. I would be happy one moment and then out of the blue I was crying so hard I couldnt breathe. The only thing that worked for me was getting out and just living my life. It took time to get over him and I'm still getting over him. He was my first in this life and thats something I hold every special. Its hard for me to be mad at someone when they did show me a lot of good. So, my advice to you would be get out. Go do things with your friends (not man hating things) and once your emotions settle you will be able to look back and see the good things without getting emotional and missing him.  Maybe start a journal and once your feeling better trash it as if your ending that part of you life. I'm deeply sorry this has happened to you.

Liz,

You are not the first and will not be the last that goes through something like this, words of consolation are hard to hear both because you are the one who must go through this it seems as if your world has ended.  It has not believe me.  I kind of lived through a double whammy.

I have not been in the lifestyle for quite awhile and met someone who was vanilla.  I moved in with him and once I did, the person I had met went away. I had to watch porn whenever He was home and he wanted handjobs and blowjobs so everything sexual was for him, nothing for me.  No romance, no passion, no love, no care, no hugs, no kisses ~ He had told me how bad his life had been and how his ex never spent any money on him for his birthday or Christmas.  For his birthday I spent over $300 to give him a good birthday, for my birthday.... he forgot it..... for Christmas I spent my whole check to make sure he had a good Christmas.  He got me a $19.95 watch from Target which wasn't so bad except the watch was ORANGE, the band and the face both ORANGE and I hate orange.

After Christmas I did some looking up of him on the internet then went down to the local court house to get a copy of the transcripts of criminal activity I found he had been put in prison for.

He was married at one time and had 4 daughters, 3, 6, 9, 11 and his brother lived wtih him, his wife and the girls; he and his brother sexually molested his daughters for years and made tapes of them to sell on the internet.

I made my way back to where we lived and set the papers down in front of him, did not say a word and turned and walked out, leaving everything I owned behind except for my purse and clothes I wore.  I hitchiked down into SD and was going to kill myself.  I contacted a friend in Fresno and made my way up here.  This was the end of December.  

I would not talk to another man, I would not look at another man, I stayed offline except for some RP games.  Finally I had healed (with the help of a therapist) and I got back on Collarme.com ~ I met a great man and woman but overlooked them for a man who caught my attention right away, he wooed me and sent me two dozen roses and a stuffed bear to snuggle with at night until we were together.  We talked for hours on the phone and we had so much in common ~ He bought a plane ticked for me to fly to him which I insisted I would pay half on and in the end he agreed.

One day out of the blue I get an email addressed to someone not my name but obviously for me.  It was over, done with, finished, I had no chance to talk to him about it as he would not answer his phone and only one word answers to emails.  I was devastated, this is the first man I had even begun to trust and to feel sensual with as my ex had taken my womanhood from me with his perversions, I went into a tailspin so badly that I thought I would die, I wanted to die, I took 5 Xanax and about 3 Vidodin, slept for three days, woke up and got MAD.

Oh yeah I got pissed good and pissed and once I wrote him an email expressing in any words I felt like it how I felt about him and the relationship I deleted him out of my life.

So the saying no matter how bad you hurt the world does not stop for your grief, may be as adapt as What does not kill us makes us stronger.  I am stronger and I am moving ahead with my Life and now sit back and chuckle as Karma is a bitch and will bite them both in the ass.

((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

I am very sorry for this loss in your life.  I have been myself in that place of finding out about another lover and being lied to and left and it hurts terribly, tears down all faith, and destroys trust in the future...but it is not the end.

Those things you feel are lost will come back to you - happiness, wonder, excitement, trust, and love.

But for now, you have to put one foot in front of the other, and get to tomorrow - cause tomorrow will be better.  What everyone here has told you is true - time is the only remedy.  That and perhaps chocolate.  :P

There is a lesson in everything in life.  Please don't let the lesson be the loss of trust and love in your life, but the realization that you are stronger than you thought you were, and Yes, you will trust and love again.  Next time, you will question a bit and that is good.  Explain what happened to him, whoever he will be, and if he is the right one for you, he will understand. 

Eventually, you will be able to let this event go from your heart and it will become part of your intellectual strength.  You -can- get through this. 

All our hopes...

Breakups are indeed hard to deal with. Honestly the way I deal with things like that is usually sitting in front of the tv  watching something engaging but somewhat mind-dulling -- something that requires taking all my attention but that doesn't make me actually think, and watching it all day until I sort of dull over the heartache of it.

However, the last time I tried that it was "wedding and baby week" that I was watching all the wedding/baby shows. Not great shows for getting over a relationship...

sounds like you need to develop some scene connections/friends in your area though. I know there's tons there. Get to where you have at least one good friend that you can share all with if you wanted to, that would understand... (I found several such through CM-- it's possible! (maybe easier than finding a relationship, to find friends.)

While I can appreciate the man bashing evenings.....

Everytime you do that you're giving him free rent on space in your life. I'd recommend at some point sitting down and examining the decision making process that led you to be so completely taken in by his lies, but now isn't the time. That's left for a time when you have calmed down and healed a little bit.

Right now, get out and do things. If friends aren't available, go see if you can volunteer somewhere. If you're sitting alone at home...you're with the worst person to be with right now.

I'm sorry you're going through this and I promise it gets easier.

Hi.  I'm really sorry that you got lied to - that is the worst thing I can imagine in this kind of relationship, worse than a physical injury.  My 7 year relationship ended about 8 months ago, and while I wasn't lied to, there were some trust issues to deal with.  I think it's important to remember that ending a serious M/s relationship has elements that don't come into play with a vanilla relationship. Yes, we've got the grief to deal with, same as in vanilla, but there are the things we were conditioned to feel and do in the practice of bdsm that are also lost.  I've found it very difficult to move past the feeling of waiting for his cues,which after 7 years were pretty subtle and deeply engrained, missing the structure and ritual of our lives, and just the plain old release of tears and endorphins.

But, time is a great healer, as is physical exercise, and I feel better now than I did even a few months ago.  Hang in there!

Allow yourself to go through the grieving process at your pace, there is no magic time frame and I've discovered in the past 7 months that some losses you simply can not "let go of" but you learn to live and live well. I wrote my ex many letters he will never see, but they simply allowed me to vent and to give myself some sense of closure. I have always journaled but over the past 7 months I have found myself doing so even more frequently. I have also realized that along with the pain that I was allowed to hold onto the good things between us as well and I do tightly. I don't allow people to bad mouth Phoenix, not to me and definately not to our children. I have forced myself to venture out and meet new people which is very hard for me but it has helped. I have also realized I have to focus on the things in life I have control over and him and his choices are not among those things - so now I focus on me, my children our life and how to make it better.

When you're ready, try to take some small wicked comfort in the idea that he will never be happy.  How can he be happy right now when he lied to the girl he is going to marry?  Do you really think she knew all about you, and the deceptions he perpetrated on you?  Doubtful. 

Yes, yes, I know, those people who are "really good souls" will say that my advice is negative.  Bah!  Small, wicked comfort.

Don't think of your grief as him still having power over you, because it isn't. What it is, is you mourning the energy you invested, the dreams you had that have now died.

As far as your friends, if they all disliked him but didn't want to tell you, then they aren't man hating - they're telling you the truth about him that you never let yourself see. Next time get their honest opinions early on, because usually our friends are better able to judge who is a good partner than we are. Falling in love tends to blind us from reality.

I'm ever so sorry that this happened to you. It's horrible to know that you've trusted someone, that you've given them your unconditional love and devotion, only to realize that the person in question has cheating on you. Not only that, but he took you for granted, this to me is simply unacceptable.

You will get over this. There arent many guarantees in this world, but I can guarantee that you will definitely get over it, and you will also get over him. In time you will find someone worthy, in time you will find someone who is happy to devote his heart and soul to you, and to you only. You are a beautiful girl and I'm sure that you have a wonderful heart, and I'm also sure that the love that you give is pure and wonderful.

You will get over this, I can't stress that enough, but you can't rush the process. I could tell you do to this and do that, but it won't be worth a damn because the only person who knows how exactly you will get over this is yourself... even if you don't know it.

There is a good thing about all of this, though, you've realized at first hand that this man is simply not worthy of you. He isn't worthy of you. Keep telling yourself that until you believe it to be true, then and only then will you take a heavy breathe, let out a hearty sigh and whisper to yourself "He isn't worthy of me"

Between now and then, you have to eat. You have to keep your strength up and you have to stop punishing your heart, mind and body for what happened. Thing's happen, people give, people take and people sometimes get hurt. Another thing that you can take from this experience is the knowledge that you are able to give your all to one person. If you have to feel sorry for anyone then feel sorry for the other girl, because he seemingly cannot stick with one woman. It's only a matter of time until he cheats on her, and by that time you will be loved, you wil love and you will be with a man who truly loves you.

*hugs*

I just need some advice I guess, or maybe just some support, so I came here. My Master and I were together for 7 months. .......very proudly and bragged about Him ..... On Friday I found out He had another slave. Not only did He had another slave, but she was moving in with Him and they were getting married. He lied to me the entire time. Then He called and released me with no remorse, no emotion, nothing. ..... I believed Him ...... I don't want to hear how He's a so-and-so or any of that. I'm just a mess right now and I would love to know suggestions to help me let this go. I haven't been able to sleep or eat in two days and I'm tired of giving Him that power over me when He obviously doesn't deserve it. I know it will take time to let this go, but are there things I can do to help it along? Any suggestions would be great.


Imagine browsing profiles of females and finding a profile proudly stating that she is owned by  _______ and she was proud of her blind obedience to him.
 
Liz, I can only tell you the journey and pilgrimage I went through to get over the overwhelming emotions I went through.  I am so sorry for your pain.
 
I didnt even get the benefit of a phone call.  I defensively confronted in email and was brandished with words that grieviously thoroughly shattered my already mangled heart and soul. 
 
If you wish to contact me, do so.  I am sure others have experiences that in private email might help you through this.

No matter what woman he is with, he will still be the same man, of the same character.  Don't think for a minute that the new woman is going to be treated or cared for any better than you were....acknowledge that in your own mind, but instead of focusing on that negative thought, try to take comfort in the fact that you were actually inside a lion's den, and now you've been spared and are on the outside of it now, free to find someone who will treat you as you want to be treated, and no longer investing yourself in a fruitless endeavor.

liz, you're facing the double whammy of a relationship ending AND the realization that you were played/lied to.  It's gonna take some time.

That said, I cannot be the only man who's enjoyed your posts and your pictures.  you will not have any trouble getting another Master when you are ready for it.  In other words, once you get over the hurt, you'll be well taken care of.



I will second this. 

Come up here to ND and I'll do for you what I would do for Christine1 in a recent thread...  Bring a picture of him, I'll make up some targets with his picture on them and let you blast away on them.

But first you need to go find a Cold Stone Creamery for a large of your favorite.  If you can C-mail me a snail mail addy, I'll be happy to send you a gift certificate for them.

Or would you prefer something from FTD?

And the whole "man hatting" thing sounds very interesting, could you describe it in more detail, please? 

Of course you could've meant "mad matter" and went all crazy with the tea party but... wait.. I think that's what you need right about now. But not so much with the "mad" or in fact the "hatter", if you aren't that much into hats.. or hate.. :p (My kingdom for a tongue smilie)

Can't do ice cream- lactose intolerant and with the way my stomach feels.... ick. I love the thought though and I'm trying to take as much of the advice as possible. I think I will feel better once I confront him when he comes to get his stuff, that usually gives me closure. I'm going with the totally healthy approach of cigarettes, coffee and water and focusing on all the wonderful things every one has been saying. I just love all of you guys on here, you are seriously the very best.
