Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situation

  • It was not supposed to be like this

    In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his…

  • Lost my Partner who wasn't my partner

    I'd like to start by saying that I can't believe I found an outlet with people who've suffered similar experiences.

  • My married lover

    For 6 years I secretly shared a wonderful love with a man who was a beautiful soul. His other life found out about me days before he passed. His family has asked that I not attend the service.

  • So Blessed!

    I lost my soulmate, the man I should have met years to a long battle with COVID pneumonia. He was married, but his wife took their then 12 year old daughter and moved across the state line 2 months before we met, 14 months ago. After realizing we were meant for each other we decided to keep our…

  • Losing my one true love

    Hi, Im new here and have no one to share my story with. My story in a nutshell: I met Bob in 1986. Although he was married, we were very much in love.  Life's circumstances changed and in a flash he was gone (alive, just moved).  I found him 25 years later and we found our love was still there. We…
