Okay here are my thoughts. For a long time I didn't tell anyone about the affair because I didn't want to "jepordize" our reconciliation attempts. Then I realized he was telling people outrageous untruths about me such as I never cooked, cleaned, etc. Maybe those areas were not up to par of a Stepford wife, but I work full time and did a pretty good job. So it got to when people asked me what happened I told them that he decided his secretary was more important than his family. Enough said...they didn't say much more. Vindictive? Perhaps, but I also looked at as defending myself and letting them know he wasn't the poor mistreated soul he tried to pretend he was.
