Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered that divorcing couples be sent to labour camps for up to six months, with women potentially facing longer sentences.

The North Korean leader has declared that ending a marriage demonstrates anti-socialist sympathies and warrants punishment.

      Man I’ve been doin the therapy part. Discovering the images of another dudes dick with the naked photos of your wife she sent does something really fucked up to the brain.

      Really fucked up. I mean I’m a lot better than I was, but shit dude, it… Fucks you up. A year and a half since that discovery, 5 years since she had the affair. At my current state I’m ok being single, because I don’t ever want to go through anything remotely so painful again

        Same boat. It was December 13, 2023 that I found out. Still waiting for the anger and hurt and deadness to stop.

          I don’t think it will stop. It hasn’t for me. But it has gotten easier. Reaching the realization that I was infatuated with an idea of her, rather than who she really was, has helped.

          Her mom had an affair when she was a kid and her parents divorced. She never forgave her mom, or so I thought. She swore up and down she’d never be like that. She clearly lied about her own principles.

            Many hugs, friend. For what it’s worth, I hope you’re wrong and that it will stop someday. We’ve both still got a lot of living to do, and maybe even still some love buried deep in our black hearts.
