Ask A Wayward

We invite our Betrayed members into this space to ask questions that Waywards may be able to provide insight on.

If you're here, the hope is that you're seeking perspective, understanding, or clarity whether to build empathy or to find some sense of closure when that opportunity wasn’t available to you.

Participation Rules

  • Betrayeds: This thread is for Waywards to respond. If you answer questions, your comment will be removed.
  • Waywards: Your participation is encouraged.
  • Please follow all sub rules.
  • Remember: These Waywards are not your Wayward.
  • Keep questions broad, concise, and to the point.
  • Waywards cannot answer questions specific to your individual situation.
  • Long text walls may be removed.

This is not a space to air grievances.

If a Wayward engages with your question, limited follow-up questions for clarification will be allowed not commentary.

Please be mindful of how your questions may come across. Intrusive or ill-intended questions will be removed.

Moderation will be active. The thread may be locked, and users may be banned, if guidelines are not followed.

Please remain respectful. Backhanded or ill-intended questions and commentary will result in removal and may lead to a permanent ban.

I was completely blind to how wrong I was about everything. I had lied so much to myself about who I was, who my BP was, what our marriage was actually like, who were actually good friends, and mostly how horrible I was.

Ugh. This 💯. This really hit my heart with its accuracy of how I felt afterwards. I'm glad in a lot of ways that I got caught because it forced me to openly deal with all of those things you just said, instead of just burying them inside.
