Quart9, my heart goes out to you. I've been there, and it was excruciatingly painful. We had an idyllic romance, engagement, marriage, we were (are) best friends.
To be betrayed like that is probably one of the cruelest blows in all of life.
I hope things turn around for your soon. Stick to DB, GAL, go dark and all that other business. Find friends, family for support, and then get ready for the hardest work you're ever bound to do if it is to work out. Forgiveness. It won't be fast, it won't be easy, I'm still working on it two years later.
We're separated again because I hadn't 'burned' all my anger, resentment.
Peace.
Eternal optimist
