I know how this is. My ex-husband was the sweetest guy I'd ever met. It was like he was my biggest fan. Everything I said, he agreed with. And he was so supportive. It was like I could do no wrong, and even the slightest accomplishments were cause for celebration.
But it was all fake. And every 6 months or so my whole world would come crumbling down because of something he did. He'd steal my identity and run up debt, or I'd catch him flirting online with minors, and worse. It was so hard to reconcile that the person he revealed himself to be so seldomly was really his true self.
That's where starting again gets tough. You'll want your partner to be that perfect soulmate you believed you had. But you'll have to accept that real love isn't so perfect. And when it is, watch out.
