Title: Stupid in love
Your Story: He was the love of my life. We met and everything fell in place. Our connection, our love, our passion. Everyone could see it and looked on with envy. We couldn’t see anything else but each other. We married after 8 years of living together, ready for the next chapter together. And after 2 kids and 6 years of marriage his internal alarm clock went off. He was missing out. Missing on experiences. Missing on life. I was exhausted from working 50 hour weeks and being up all night with a 2 and 4 year old. He worked nights. I worked days. A disconnect between us started to grow. He always wanted to go out partying. I was too tired to think and mostly wondered, Why isn’t he helping more?
His partying started to last longer thru the nights until he was coming home frequently at 4-6am.
It took years to get enough courage to invade his privacy and check his email.
They say, you always find what you’re looking for… I found it.
Emails and photos from a woman who turned out to be his girlfriend of 3 years.
They went on to continue the affair another 3 years after my first discovery.
I was an idiot. Blinded by love and some serious gaslighting. It wasn’t fair. Still isn’t.
And the person I hate the most? Me.
