I can't feel your pain but I cannot imagine it being worse than finding out my Husband was cheating with a married co-worker. Both were lying to their spouses & both left them & kids so they could live in their own little Love Nest (her words).
In my opinion & experience - being left after 30 years together for someone he just met it the ultimate in pain.

Oh gosh I did not try to diminish your feelings at all, I am sorry if it came across in that way. Being cheated on is horrible and painful, something I would not wish on anyone. I wasn't trying to say one is worse than the other, it all is bad.
Betrayal has many faces, my X hid (stole) money (quite a bit of it)and had an EA (thats all as far as I know). It is all painful, how can I trust someone not to do those things in the future? I guess the question is how do we move past this?
I refuse to let her actions change me for the worse, I am a giving, loving (and learning how to show that love in ways people need), and loyal person. I do not want to be bitter, angry, and resentful.
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
