Q

Submitted by starfire122216 on

How do I get over the fact that I am completely utterly disgusted by anyone who would even THINK about cheating, let alone actually do it? My husband had ZERO sense of values or morals in order to even talk to another female in secret… let alone go as far as driving hours to MEET her and have sex with her and so on and so forth for years. And to lie to my face!
Honestly in my opinion, I think cheating is worse than murder, because at least murder is a one time, five minute crime of passion where-as lying to your spouse over years and years is something you do daily, repeatedly.

I am so sorry for the way you

I am so sorry for the way you have been hurt and deceived. Trying to conceive how someone can be so manipulative and self serving definitely messes iwth the mind. The answer to how? or why? is multi-facetted, but those answers are never an excuse and rarely do they alleviate the pain of the lies. You did not deserve this. You did not cause it. You can't cure it...But you can recover.
Thank you for coming to this site, and as your journey continues I do believe you will find some releif from this astonishing pain. The bomb of betrayal creates immense shock, but shock waves do die down, and sanity can return.
