I only cheated on my Husband one time (one-night stand). I don't have reasons, only excuses. We had our first child when I was 18. While I was in the hospital after her birth, my supposed best friend got my Husband drunk and he slept with her. She had only become my friend because, as she confessed to me later, she had a crush on my Husband. I couldn't get over this. 😔

My Husband's supposed best friend took advantage of the situation because he had always had a crush on me. It took a full year of him telling me how he would have never done such a thing to me, and how I was the most wonderful(insert whatever positive flattery here you wish) before, after fighting with my Husband one night, I gave in and slept with my Husband's supposed best friend. This was almost 40 years ago.😔

There were terrible consequences to both our cheating. My Husband and his supposed best friend had slept with my supposed best friend, and she had an STD. Of course, I got it too, and in the end, this was part of what led to my hysterectomy at 21. There were other causes of this as well, though.😔

I also got pregnant, and I don't know who the biological father was. My son's father is my Husband. He chose to be his father no matter what, and when my son was 18, we told him the truth, and he decided he only wanted my Husband to be Dad.❤

I also had an emotional affair on EP 20 plus years back, because my Husband was addicted to porn, and I felt worthless and neglected because of this.. I found solace in the words of another online. This hurt my Husband deeply, so I ended the affair, and I have never even thought about doing this again. Even though it took my Husband more than 10 years to get over his porn addiction. 😔

There are no good reasons to cheat...No, not one. It is not a victimless crime.😔

@Journaling4MeAgain Your husband was the one who started it though. Cheating on a woman fresh post partum is really messed up, even worse with your best friend, so I don’t judge you 🤷‍♀

@Journaling4MeAgain You're assuming that divorce is the same as not wanting to make the effort.

Another way of looking at it, is that the person would be giving their kid(s) a chance to better control their destiny.

It's Monday morning quarterbacking now, but you raised your kids in the same environment that produced two kids for you, before you were out of your teen years, a hysterectomy, STDs, and multiple physical and emotional affairs.

And your kids did the same thing you did, and you're now raising their kids.

I wish you all the luck, but there are other choices that may offer kids better options.

@Northwest Northwest,Actually, you have no idea of what has really happened in my life, based on anything I have added here. You have made many erroneous assumptions and misread much (for example, I had one 1-night stand and 1 emotional affair), but I think we are through here.I have checked your profile, and I can see that I may have made a mistake in unblocking you. I wish you all the luck, too. There are better options than passing judgment on people you don't know.

I only cheated once and that was because he literally forgot I existed except when I stopped paying the bills.

We separated 3 months later.

He had been cheating the entire length of our 6 year marriage.

No reason now, but when we were dating I could have cheated because she was cheating on me a lot. I chose not to cheat.

There is no reason. Cheating is wrong, and I would never do it.
it's there. it's free. it's very good, it's her sisters. Few others,
Being on SW is the closest I ever came to it

@BrandNewMan Is being on SWs considered cheating?
@Bleak Borderline to yes .. I was not open w my spouse about it .. some flirty, personal messages, etc . Its not sex, no, and not as big a breach as things she did .. but some here would class it as such and I can see their case.

Did. The usual excuses I suppose...
No reason is good enough
Bleak · 36-40, F
No reason can be justified
Cheating is cheating.
