Aw, thanks for the nice compliments and for your sympathy.

Last night I started to wonder if his cheating was MY fault somehow - was I not interesting or exciting enough? Lately, I was going to bed very early, and not too long after he would come home from work and after dinner.

I also know that I really cannot and should not blame myself. It's HIS doing. HE chose this. He knew 100% that it was the ONE thing that I would unequivocally divorce over.

He had his chance. I gave him a second chance in July when I was going to divorce him then.

This is the icing on the cake on top of the abuse. I am beside myself.

Thanksgiving at least was a break from him physically speaking. I was alone at my parents' house, hiding out for the entire day.
