But the advice on these boards is so invaluable and even just the support, knowing there are caring people willing to help out a complete stranger... well, thank you all so much.
I think a lot of people enjoy discussing infidelity as an OFFENSE rather than a love story.
Many people who first experience infidelity are in shock... They have been so brainwashed by hollywood that infidelity is some tragic love story that they never for once realized how violated and painful being on the receiving end can be.
They have a whole range of emotions they never expected or understood rush through them... They watch TV and television often just makes it into a big joke.
They come here and read post after post and gradually realize they aren't crazy after all. Infidelity IS HORRIBLE and its not just you!
It's a wonderful feeling to find out your feelings are normal and the media is the one that's uninformed...
I thought I was nuts at first... I had no idea I would feel so violated and hurt... Never even occurred to me... Hollywood rarely shows the pain involved in infidelity... it was a HUGE SHOCK to the system. I come here and I am told "yup, the media's got it wrong, you are normal and this IS a horrible thing to do to someone"
