Came to the realization today that I made a monumental mistake divorcing my ex husband. Cheated on him for months and left him for the man I had the affair with, only to be no longer with him a year later. I missed my ex deeply, but he's moved on and I've lost him forever. Feeling lost, lonely and worthless. I am the absolute worst. I hate myself. I hate my life.
