No. I don't hate the man I married but I certainly have no like or illusions about the alien that took his place. Our situations are a bit different. My ex cheated on me shortly after we got married. It went on for 2 years.
Shortly after I found about it, I had a terrible car accident. I was off work for about 3 weeks. During that time I evaluated a lot of things and we ended up pregnant with our first child. Life just seemed to roll along. After the discovery of this most recent affair, some other people came forward that they had saw my ex with other people over the years. And it was very obvious that he was WITH them. So was he ever faithful, I don't know. At this point it doesn't matter.
I did what I had to so that I could get through this, so my kids could get through this. As for the analogy, You can call it what you want. He fell off the high road and you continued on etc. But it holds true because they lost their way by their own choices and now we have to go on despite it.
I am not bitter. I just know that neither of them are really very nice people. My ex isn't who he used to be, or at least not the person that I thought I knew. Maybe he never was.
