In my opinion, and unfortunately experience, Damien and this girl are both nasty tramps, him more so than her but she followed Dom and saw their life unfold, that's just mind boggling.
Before it happened to me I would have been the one standing up for the other woman, completely, but not now I've seen what these types of women can be like.
I accept some women are duped by men into believing they're single etc
If I spoke for hours about what it was like I'll never even get close. When you find out, that moment, your body tingles and shakes, your legs go from under you, at least mine did. Everything around me was gone, I couldn't hear anything. The shock was life changing.
I couldn't eat, some days I literally had to drag myself off the floor.
I told people I wouldn't normally have told anything to, you're in shock, you're vulnerable. Your whole life as you knew it is over. Forever. You will never be the same person you once were.
As the weeks go by you start to think back and you see now when they were together. While you were at home, innocently watching tv, or putting the kids to bed, he was with her.
You think of times he stood beside you when you were with your family and friends and all the time he was seeing her.
You go through the day, work, life like a zombie. When the tears come it's almost suffocating.
I was contacted by her after he had ended it, she sent me screenshots and photos. Sometimes I'll just be driving along and I'll think about it and I'll feel sick. This is five years later.
I have a great job, family, lovely friends, I travel a lot, keep fit and this brought me to my knees.
Damien is a tramp. She will flourish, believe me it's possible. The other woman is also a tramp, anyone who sticks up for her are not my people. Low self-esteem etc are not excuses to ruin lives and it does ruin lives. A family friend died by suicide after the discovery of an affair. I never contemplated it but there were days I wished I didn't exist. Today I can talk about it without feeling that pain so I've healed but it was a battle.
To all the ladies who've been through the same, I see you and you are amazing x
