I’ve never cheated on my spouse.
In fact, I did the opposite. I became what I call “militantly faithful.”
I say this because I became disgusted with guys who didn’t seem to want to respect my marriage vows… or worse, didn’t want to respect me.
I used to surprise myself at how fierce I was over the issue.
Now I realize
I was in the
bargaining phase
of grief.
I was bargaining for my husband’s faithfulness, as in, “If I am faithful to him, he has to be faithful to me, right?”
And I guess, technically, he was faithful, but he was actively looking for affairs.
Someone asked if I did this because I was happy. I had to say, “No, it wasn’t because we had a happy relationship… but I sure hoped it would make us that way.”
