I stayed because i believed what we had built over 16 years was an unshakeable bond between 2 people. I never thought things could turn on me so quickly. I did everything to be with her, to make her happy.

Some people are easily swayed by one of two key statements. It's enough to keep them coming back for more but will that continue on? I was devoted, faithful, a rock, a provider and always there for her. Even in the end when i knew what was happening, i still ran to her and when the car would not start. Now i don't know why i did that. I am left with the emptiness of this lie i believed in.

It's damaging, it hurts but i still believe i have enough love and tenderness left to give to the right person so I'll build on that and learn from this horrible event. It's all we can do i suppose
