Quote: How the heck does one act when something like this happens in one’s life?
Exactly the opposite of how you are acting. You are running on pure emotion. You must stop, breathe and regroup. The head must temper the heart.
It takes NO courage to let your 'feelings' run amok. What takes guts is to control yourself and do what's right. Ask anyone here.
It has happened in all our lives. That's why we're here. We aren't casual observers commenting on your life. We're on the train with you. We understand you're angry and hurt. Read some of our threads. 'Be angry, but sin not' is what we're trying to say to you. Whatever 'power' you have in this R is lost once you resort to H's behavior. One thing my wife won't be able to say, regardless of how this turns out is, 'he did it too so it's ok.' She'll live with her own transgression and guilt. I won't enable her by resorting to her behavior. It's called STANDING.
What kind of person do YOU want to be?
David
