    I guess many have had the heartbreak of cheating spouses and it’s something I’ve never done ….however I’ve been cheated on and it was many years ago …..but I must be loosing it …..cause I mentioned to my GP a few days ago ….watching married at first sight stirred up emotions in my mind about cheating …..why after so many years would it even bubble up to the surface?? ….and even concern me ??

    Im fine but wondering why this even crossed my thoughts at the time ??

    I’ve had the same GP since 1988 so I can discuss anything with him and he didn’t say much just listened and said don’t watch that sort of stuff if it triggers bad memories

    I've heard that betrayal is part of all relationships. I guess we all make our own Cost/Benefit decisions. If you're a User, that calculation is easy. For the rest of us, it's a little more nuanced.

    Kate maybe listen to some positive music. I had 3 kids by a hopeless romantic, aka cheater, but that was a over a half century ago. he never was happy, he passed 20 years ago.
    Hope you feel better soon.

    I think that when a husband cheats, it makes a woman feel like less a woman. Maybe she didn't try hard enough. Or maybe she just wasn't woman enough. The truth is that some men are going to cheat. No matter how good she is in bed, no matter how hard she works to keep herself attractive. It's a built-in weakness in them. Just like alcoholism.
