Caught Red Handed

I've officially decided to stop fighting for my marriage.

Today, I found out he purchased lingerie and had it shipped to someone who lives in the area he works.

I may not be the most amazing woman on the planet, but damn, I like to think I had a lot to give... now he throws away 5 years together and his kids and our son will suffer.

People say that cheaters cheat because they're not happy in their relationship. I think they cheat because they're not happy in themselves...

So I'm done. And it hurts, I feel parts of me shattering that I managed to fix... it's not right....

But I can't hold on to someone who wants a side piece...

sorry to hear that.
I read somewhere, and I dunno if it's correct or valid...
men cheat because they want their relationship to stay, but they also want something that they aren't getting in the relationship. women cheat because they're done, over and ready for the relationship to end. not sure if that's helpful info, but... I like to relay things I read and remember.

@stound hmmm this is interesting. I cheat like a guy. I don't want to leave my bf. We are comfortable and love each other. But I am not getting all my needs met. I've asked for them to be met but it didn't work. So I get it elsewhere.
