Southern Girl is right and Corri, I'm sorry if I misguided you on the other thread. I wasn't seeking a public flogging as some form of cleansing punishment for myself. I was seeking the 2x4's...I was seeking honesty and that is what I got. I wanted to be told the cold hard truths as someone that cheated on their spouse and not some sugar coated variety because of who I am on the message boards. I wanted advice from anyone as to what I could do now that the damage was done. I got good advice, but things quickly turned into me trying to defend my actions of coming out with this news as having self serving motives.
My initial instinctual reaction was to defend my motives, but it was clear that no matter what I said, public perception was going to be what it was and no amount of my arguments was going to sway that perception. It was then that I realized that the only opinions that truly mattered were that of Miss IC and myself. She has understandable problems with the content of my news, but not with the motives for revealing it.
Cheyenne, again, thank you for the kind gesture but this is really my burden to bear and if I were not prepared to carry it, then I would not have come on here.
