Sold a home I loved because every damn day (or almost every day) for the first 3 years of R I was flooded with the same sucker punch feeling of dday1 and dday2.
I had to wait 6 years to sell but I was much happier when I didn’t have those reminders. The last few years we lived there they were very infrequent but I just needed to move away from all of it.
New house, better energy IMO.
Plus if he cheats again I have a house I can afford to keep on my own. Always planning for "what if". It’s part of my trauma lol
Survived two affairs and brink of Divorce. Happily reconciled. 12 years out from Dday. Reconciliation takes two committed people to be successful.
