My heart is heavy and deeply grieved for everyone affected by infidelity. Reading the stories on SI has shed light on the catastrophic & destructive nature of sexual betrayals. I feel the pain of every betrayed who post their fears, doubts, anxiety, sadness, and all the terrible emotions that take them down to a dark place. I feel for the remorseful wayward who are still living with shame over what they’ve done. And there’s the irreparable damage done to the children.
It makes me so angry that many people would engage in this kind of behavior. What’s worse is our culture does not condemn it. Look at celebrities and public figures who cheated or were APs. They continue to go on with their stardom and careers. Our society continues to "support" them by watching their films, shows, or re-electing them to office. We minimize the dirty, evil, and toxic nature of cheating. Not to be political but how many of our presidents cheated on their wives? What message are we sending to the younger generation? It makes me very very sad.
Thank you for letting me vent.

Oh I sooo understand how you feel, I'm a very empathetic emotional person and this makes it so much harder to accept what awful things people do to the people they're supposed to love. My eyes have been opened over the last two years and I have such a low opinion of so many men & women, the things I've heard from friends after mentioning my husband's affair have shocked me tbh and I've realised affairs are so much more common than I thought. It's so heartbreaking knowing how painful this is and how many of us have had to go through it, especially as many of us know we could never do it to someone ourselves. The joy has definitely left my life and has been replaced with sadness most of the time and I know this feeling will always be there, even though it lessens with time. That's very hard to accept but what else can we do ❤️
Sending hugs to you 😔
