Did you know that partner betrayal trauma can have a devastating impact? Research shows that approximately 70% of individuals who experience infidelity or similar forms of betrayal report symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The betrayal triggers a cascade of emotions, affecting the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, two key areas responsible for emotional regulation and decision-making, resulting in difficulties with trust, intimacy, and self-esteem.

The most difficult part for me, is NOT the loss of trust in others, but in MYSELF. You can no longer trust your ability to see people as they really are.. like you can’t trust yourself to make good decisions or judgements, and it pervades everything.

Family betrayal hurts to the bone.

Betrayal is basically: The death of your heart.... 💔

Betrayal trauma, narcissism. They murder you emotionally 😢😢😢

The shutting down is very real. Lack of hope for a better future is also very real. Being hyper vigilant, not trusting others and feeling over whelmed also very real. You become so isolated you are in a nearly vegetative state. The analogy of being in a car wreak, but there is no blood or broken bones, is spot on, you have been emotionally wrecked and emotionally altered.

7 months pregnant and I find out that not only has my husband betrayed me, but infected me with an STD. Pain, humiliation, and anger stayed with me for a long time. Thankfully my son was healthy.

This is the best description of what I’m going through. My wife (ex-wife) cheated on me almost 10 years ago. I thought we got past it, but I never really did. Then she cheated on me again with one of my closest friends. We’ve been divorced for 6 months, and it feels like I’m stuck in a loop. No only can I not trust them, but I’m afraid to trust anyone. The 2 closest people to me lied to me for so long, I can’t help but question everyone else’s intentions. I’m always on guard and always waiting for the next betrayal.

We all feel betrayed by our government, our mortgage & insurance companies, our legacy media lies. Betrayal is running deep and ruining our lives in these times.

As a 100% disabled gulf war veteran, the betrayal of the US GOVT to experiment on 200k troops left a huge hole in my heart under pain of COURT MARTIAL, but I love my Republic to the core.

This is the best description of betrayal in a relationship, that I have ever heard. Society seems to think that you are to brush yourself off and keep moving, and even when you do, you feel like a shell of a person. All trust is gone. He really understands this.

5 years ago I found out my wife of 15 years and three children was having an affair with her Taekwondo Instructor. He was also married with kids. It will never leave your mind. It’s always there. You often “feel” like your were never enough. If not for my children I’d be gone! It sucks.

When you are betrayed by your own mother you kind of shut down and know you are on your own. That feeling is still pretty much imbedded, at 70

Parental betrayal trauma is the worst. It sets you up to continue the trauma in your relationships.

If u reading this. U r loved never give up. Stay strong and day by day get through. It will get better. Going through it for half my life

Betrayal trauma changed my life. Since my divorce I haven’t been able to enter into another relationship, in the process I became celibate. My spiritual awareness makes it difficult to trust or bond with the opposite sex.
-
I fixed my future by never trusting anyone again. Single and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's great getting a good night's rest.

How do you cope? I'm getting tired of living like this and don't know how much more of this pain I can take. Edit: After almost 5 years together, and years of constantly being lied to, breadcrumbed, gaslit, and given empty promises to change, I finally left. To anyone who sees my comment, sometimes staying when nothing changes does more damage to your mental than anything else

It's been 5.5 years, but it still feels like yesterday. 20 years wasted. Trust = Faith. Never making that mistake again.

This is one of the most destructive experiences a person can have emotionally and mentally, and it often creates a life long insecurity and battle to overcome the effects. It's a wonder this isn't spoken about more often considering how common and how destructive it is.

After being in a romantic relationship with a narcissistic psychopath, these videos on YouTube are right. Too bad help isn’t financially feasible for everyone. I’ve been stuck in the numb, isolating, no energy and definitely not myself for about 3 years. No trauma specialists nearby, no insurance and due to fatigue and depression- able to work just enough to survive.
