What makes an affair with a neighbour especially hard?

Proximity. You keep seeing the car, the front door and the people who watched it happen, which means the reminders are built into your street.

Not as a first response, and not while you are this raw. Our guide to healing after infidelity has a section on the reminders you cannot remove and how people make them smaller.

How do I get through the days I can't avoid them?

With a plan made in advance rather than in the moment. The Recovery Companion includes a short preparation step for encounters you know are coming.
