About Ruthy
Why I Support Women Healing After Digital Infidelity
I’m Ruthy Baker, writer and the woman behind The Online Betrayal Recovery Room.
I know what it feels like to discover messages you weren’t meant to see. To sit there trying to make sense of what you’re looking at, questioning what you thought you knew and wondering whether you can still trust your own instincts.
I’ve been there.
My work here is shaped by professional experience, but it’s also shaped by lived experience. I understand how deeply online betrayal can shake your sense of trust, safety and even your sense of yourself.
As a neurodivergent woman, I also understand the need to make sense of what happened, the pattern-seeking, the unanswered questions and the difficulty simply putting something down when your brain is still trying to understand it.
Why I Created The Online Betrayal Recovery Room
The Online Betrayal Recovery Room grew from something deeply personal: knowing just how painful and disorientating online betrayal can be.
When you discover hidden messages, secret conversations or a partner’s online life that you knew nothing about, the shock can be overwhelming. You can find yourself questioning everything, including your instincts, your memories and your sense of what was real.
When I went looking for support, I couldn’t find many calm, thoughtful resources that spoke specifically about this kind of betrayal. Much of what I found focused on blame, confrontation or dramatic ultimatums.
But that wasn’t what I needed.
I needed somewhere to breathe. Somewhere to make sense of what had happened without being told what I should do next.
The Online Betrayal Recovery Room was created to be that place.
