Hi Sky 101,
I can relate to you as well. I am not married but I've been with my bf for almost 4 years now and we've been living together for 3 yrs.
He's like this sweet and supportive person. And still I cheated on him last summer.
I was only taking Zoloft which made me very manic. And I thought I was just feeling good about myself, I was feeling adventurous and flirty.
It was almost like I wanted to invent a new persona, someone who could be carefree, someone who wasn't me.
I never told him and I obviously felt very ****** about myself afterwards.
So try not to beat yourself up because of this and like someone has mentioned previously, talk to your doctor about the meds not working.
I am going to tell you something I am always reminding myself: "This too shall pass".
Hang in there!
