Quote From: nikolaiOkay...I guess the conclusion one can come to is that there seems to always be one extremely selfish person in these situations, it's just that now, society accepts women cheating as well as they used to men. so what is the point of ever getting married. I am seriously disgusted with the way things are taking shape for the future (my kids). what kind of family lives and stability will there be. I really don't know how single parents can raise their children. it's so difficult to do with two parents at home. Anyway thanks for the reply. it's been three years for me, and I still haven't gotten over it. 
 
I think you hit the nail on the head in your message. One extrememly selfish person that messes up a lot of other people's lives without asking permission.
Yes, society accepts cheating in general no matter the gender and marriage vows are taken so lightly that they seem to have no impact. And I agree raising children is designed as a two parent job. Most single parents do not realize just how tough the job is until too late and struggle from that point on.
Betrayal changes you forever. It makes you mistrust yourself and your judgements and that is difficult to get over.
