I understand the feelings. There is a significant amount of pain associated with the end of any marriage and it adds a new dimension of grief when you couple it with the betrayal of infidelity. I was left for someone who was my diametrical opposite as well and while I'm happier now than I can ever remember being, I'm still dealing with the pain of losing my family each and every time my children express their sadness. Let me just say, it gets better if you let it and you understand your worth. There are people you will meet that will truly see you and appreciate all that you have to offer.

As for getting back with the OP, I think you already know how absurd that would be...but in case you ever falter in that belief, just remember that what's familiar isn't always what's best. You deserve someone who chooses you; a lifelong partnership with your best friend and lover. I hope you'll never settle for less than that and you'll always remember your worth. 🫂
