Hello everyone!
Need some help and advice.
Background: when I was 17 my first love broke my heart, I felt abandoned and hurt. Well as time passed found a new boyfriend, was my high school sweetheart, we later married and had 3 lil' ones. Unfortunately my husband of 10 years was unfaithful and we divorced. This was a very traumatic to me but i got through it (or atleast I thought).
Well i had been divorced for 7 years and guess who I come across, my first love (after 18 years). He apologized for breaking my heart and i told him that i had gotten over it a long time ago (or atleast I thought) . We have now in a relationship for a year.
The relationship has been hard because i do have trust issues but have learned to work through them.
Well my ex husband re-married and my life felt like it was turned upside down. I went into a deep depression that this time i decided to get help. I started on Zoloft but have now switched to Bupropion. It has helped me so much. It has even helped with those trust issues and racing thoughts.
Now here's my problem....................the other day my boyfriend and I were talking and some how he ended up telling me about a relationship he had in the past (15 years ago) and it has triggered thoughts of how he broke my heart 18 years ago.
I can't stop thinking about how he hurt me. I am crying and feel so depressed. I don't know what to do!!!! I am trying to fight these thoughts but they are consuming me, so much that I want to break up with my boyfriend (but I know that's not the answer). I feel like sharing this hurt with him and I guess let him have it, but he already fessed up to his wrong doing.
What do I do, please help!!
