How This He Cheated on Me Blog Was Born

Why in the world would I decide to start a very personal blog about when my husband cheated on me? Well, I'm hoping that this blog will help me deal with the anger, hurt, sadness, despair, and the myriad of other emotions that I go through. And if others read this and somehow it helps them, then maybe some good actually will come from my husband cheating.

There are other reasons for spilling my heart out online. It is the updated, modern version of a diary. Writing things down really does help a person heal, I think. And for me at least, it helps me to think more clearly and to calm down. But I can't keep a diary about my husband cheating on me. I have three kids and I would die if they found it. I don't want them to know that their dad is a cheater.

So, why don't I talk to friends or family? Ha, that really is funny. First of all, I haven't kept in contact with most of my family throughout my adult life. It would be odd to say the least if I decided to call them up and wanted to sob on their shoulder.

Plus, I'm a private person. And I know how my family would react. As soon as I hung up the phone, they would be calling everyone else in the family to let them know what a no-good SOB I married. No thanks, I don't need that.

Friends? Yeah, I long for those friends to the end that you see on television and I guess that some people actually know. And I've had a couple of them myself. However, I have moved too much to be able to stay in touch with any of them.

But most of my so-called 'friends' over the years would have gossiped behind my back and the whole Peyton Place where I live would know everything in a week, tops.

Like I said, I'm a private person. I don't want everyone to know my business. And as I mentioned before, I don't want my children finding out about the whole affair.

But another reason I don't just talk to a good friend is that I don't have any. You see, I spent the last twenty years or so staying at home with the kids. It was my choice, and I don't regret it at all. I have loved being able to spend so much time with them as they grew up. As they have grown into adults, they have become the best friends I could ever have wanted.

In the meantime, I started some internet websites that have started to trickle money in slowly. So now, my kids are all grown up. Because I stayed home with the kids all those years and worked at home, now I have no social life at all. I know no one. How could I? Between raising the kids and working on a computer in my bedroom, there was no time or opportunity to meet people.

So, voila, the He Cheated on Me blog was born. Here's hoping that it will help me deal with this. Maybe I can help others, too.

And I know it's not just husbands that cheat. Wives cheat, too. Surveys show that with more women in the workplace, wives cheat almost equally as often as men. So, whether your husband cheated or your wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend, we are in this together.

I wish you future happiness, whatever choices you decide to make with your life and your significant other.
