Gosh, relationships are tough.

I must be honest — I’m typically very judgmental when it comes to cheating. I’ve never cheated and I don’t think I’d forgive an affair. I’ve been very straightforward with my husband about that since the very beginning of our relationship, and his thoughts on the subject are similar.

I have a close friend who’s cheated, but her boyfriend forgave her, and I never understood this — neither her, nor him.

The thing is, the cheating, if you’re going to do it, is supposed to at least open your eyes to… something. In your case, it led to the end of your marriage and helped you understand why that marriage shouldn’t have happened in the first place, which, presumably, helped you choose husband number two mch more aware of your needs.

Then, I suppose, there’s something positive to take from an affair.

But if you continue to close your eyes, to lie yourself and the person next to you, then, I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot, and you have to spend some time thinking about why you do what you do and what that tells you.

Then freakin’ do the right thing. The world would be a better place if people did the right thing. Not as interesting place, maybe, but definitely better.

Thanks for sharing!
