Hi Everyone! I am reading these stories and it just seems so easy to say "Once a cheater always a cheater" and dumb him and things like that. a month ago I would have said all the same things! I recently found out that a my man of 5 years who I live with cheated on me with a Hooters waitress! When I found out I packed a bag and left for a week. He was calling and texting me like crazy. I agreed to have dinner with him finally one night and he begged for forgiveness. He cried ( something he does not do often!) He said all the right things , teared up at all the right times. I decided to try and forgive him. Like I said a month ago I would have said kick that man to the curb! but it is so different when it happens to you. It is so different when you love that man with all your heart. I am still dealing with the pain everyday and to be honest I don't know if we will make it. Some days I feel even closer to him now than before, and others I look at him and think there has to be someone else out there for me, someone I can trust and who not betray me. It is the most confussing time of my life! What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. IF we make I think we will be stronger for going through what we have went through together and IF we don't make it I think I will be stronger on my own. You just have to believe that no matter what YOU will be ok. I am just taking it day by day. Some of the entries I read talk about men who cheat over and over and to those girls I say if he has hurt you over and over chances are he will not stop. Remove yourself from the comfort zone, move out, change your number and keep your self busy and I think you will see that it is actually easier than you thought it would be. One thing I know is that if I ever found out he did it again I would not give him any more chnaces. I will be gone for good!
