Quote From: oldcargali am hurting for you as i write this. you can read my message and experience as oldcargal. she wasnt' my best friend but i treated her as a friend, none the less. no, they didn't get married. no, they didn't have a child together but it was so painful just the same. you are in the early stages of this.....maybe by now your head has cleared somewhat. but let me tell you that you simply MUST GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE! i know this tears you apart. i know there are nights you wake up with your heart pounding! i know! i've been there! i never thought my husband would cheat either! but he did! more than once! was it my mistake to trust him? NO! just as it wasn't yours to trust your husband! look at your children and be thankful that God gave them to you. look at your life and be thankful God gave that to you also. trust me, sweetie. you won't always feel like you do now. you will evolve into something wonderful. something strong! the best you can be!
and what will he have? guilt! day in and day out! no, you were NOT a bad wife! you were probably a wonderful wife. i'll bet you did everything a good wife does! please do not beat yourself up for what he did. men are very weak creatures and they love to blame the females in their lives for their weaknesses. i'm telling you that you CAN get on with you life and God has something wonderful planned for you...........take it one day at a time. one hour at a time. sometimes, one minute at a time! but put one foot in front of the other and go forward! God bless you!
It would be nice to think your cheating husband would suffer guilt day in and day out. But, honestly, people with this emotional background, do not suffer guilt. Nothing to the degree an even halfway emotionally healthy person would. If so, they would not have done what they did in the first place. They move onto another emotionally unhealthy woman who tells them what they think they want to hear, they do not understand the other woman's motivations underneath all that blather (your the smartest man I've ever known, I just admire you so much, a day without you is like a day without sunshine), blaming the wife for all their unhappiness. They don't GET IT (as Dr. Phil would say).
