It's just so very sad. I wonder sometimes if it just isn'y worth the trying. If I were to separate in a couple of years I'd be free of this sadness and maybe on to better things. I could be settled somewhere use to being alone and maybe in a better place. The OW wouldn't matter so much. I'd still see him because of the kids and all but it wouldn't be my place to monitor his life. It's such a gamble, both ways. My question is If staying with the devil you know is better than meeting a new one. There are so many damaged men out there I'd probably end up with another cheater knowing my luck!! Sh*t it is just too hard this life we have chosen to live. I guess it's good to know we are not alone! I wish we all lived closer so we could have meetings face 2 face. If ever anyone wants to have a BS retreat I have a place in the mountains of Western NC. Lodging would be minimum $10 a day. That would be so cool to have a bunch of us together just to share stories and have all day contact with some fun thrown in for good measure!! My cabin sleeps 10 comfortably. Just a thought anyway.

I sure do agree with you that it is a gamble. We could leave our spouses (and break up our families in the process) in hopes that the next guy will be a faithful one. But in the end he could turn out to be a worse cheater than our H's were, so then we of course would regret splitting up the family for a real dog. Maybe it's better to hope that our H's have learned a lesson by seeing the hurt they've caused us, then to take a chance on going thru this all over again. To tell you the truth if this EVER happens again, I think I would rather be alone for a LONG time than to fall in love with another guy who could end up doing the same cwap.
...I don't think the decision to leave someone who has cheated on us should be based in any way on what the next guy will be like...life shouldn't be about "well, he didn't cheat on me that bad"...I think for some people, it's better to leave...especially if the sadness/anger is a hurdle to being a happy parent...
I agree. I think you should leave when your misery outweighs your joy. And that you should leave with the idea of being alone for a while with no thought of what the next guy you will be with will do or not do. I was just responding to the point that it is a gamble once you do leave, on if a new relationship will end up being any better than what you have now.
I really don't think about other men really don't know why I wrote it. I guess sadness makes me think stupid things sometimes and it is better to let it out of my head than let it sit there and grow. Nothing worth having is simple in my life so I just better get strong and deal with it. I've chosen to stay because I love him and know with some effort on both our parts we can grow to a better place. Good Night Ladies and Gentlemen,

I completely agree with u. this had happened to me twice and i have decided that i am better off alone. i don't need a man if this is what all end up doing.
So you are saying you left a cheater and ended up with another cheater? If so I feel bad for you. I think if my H EVER cheats again, I will chose to live happily ever after with my 3 year old very intelligent and extremely LOYAL male border collie, who already sleeps with momma all the time when H is off on his frequent business trips. LOL
yah, I've made the decision to leave...that's the saddest part :( if I didn't love the bonehead, it would be a piece of cake. but. there are parts of him i still love. dammit.
so...i found an apartment this week, i'll do the rental stuff tomorrow....all the technical stuff...the heart stuff has been decided.
he's been mean as captured ape all week, i don't know what to do with that. it's like "I'VE" done something to "HIM"...wth? **shaking.head** whatever.
and, I can't even THINK of another man or future relationships at this point. well, yah...a bulldog male persuasion LAWYER maybe lol
