I was in a relationship for 2 years. We lived together for a year out of the 2. I was engaged to this person, we shared out life together. We were a family with my kids. We went to basketball games and picnics together and I thought that no matter what I could always depend on this person. A couple of months ago the bottom fell out of our relationship. She stole money out of my bank account, took household things we had purchased at Wal-Mart back and got the money back, took the wedding rings I had just purchased for our wedding (we were getting married a month later) and simply lied straight face to me. This person, I thought, was the love of my life. Now I am here wondering how you get over this? She still calls sometimes.. and begs me to forgive her. Says that she got caught up in things that she shouldn't have and they backfired on her. I understand we all make mistakes and life happens.. but I can't get past the fact that she lied to me about all of it. How do you move on with your life from this?

do you really want to move on, go on with out her in your life or go on with her and how do you find the forgiveness with what she did to you? i guess you can try to forget about the reasons why you are angry, like dont think she fooled you and that will be a great start for you to actually not think of the lies and the foolish things she did to you and you can start thinking about the good times you spent together. i hope you will find it in your heart to forgive her and really move on.
do not get back with her though as i believe it can repeat again... a cycle might not be stopped when you start it.

You keep busy, you spend time with your kids, you take a class, you volunteer someplace, you hang out with your friends...oh, and did I mention that you keep busy? Don't let yourself be taken in by this woman again. No matter what her excuses are, she sounds like bad news who will eventually hurt you again. You're better off, believe it or not, and you *will* get over this. I thought the same thing at one point in my life. I'm not married to someone I truly love and who truly loves me. It took us a while to get here but I'm glad that the paths our lives took lead us to each other. Hang in there...it'll get easier.
