His Wife Had A Mini Mental Breakdown And Cheated, So Now He’s Scared He Will Never Feel The Same About Her Again
This man considered his wife to be the only human being on this planet he could let his walls down for.
She’s always been the one he wanted to spend his time with and the only person he trusted implicitly. He thought they had a special bond.
But then his wife recently took a trip for work to some place literally in the middle of nowhere. While his wife was on that trip, she slept with a guy she didn’t know well at all.
“It was basically for no reason – she had a miniature mental breakdown and just did it,” he explained.
“She told me about it like a month after it happened. I believe she’s actually sorry, and I believe she’d take it back if she could, but I don’t know if it’s too late or not.”
“There’s this sucking, hollow hole in me now, and I’m just different. I’m never that far away from crying; I’m nastier and angrier, and the worst part is I’m afraid I’ll never feel the same about her.”
He feels like a complete fool. He would get asked by people in his life if he ever got concerned about his wife cheating on work trips, but he maintained that he trusted her. Now, he knows that it was silly to trust his wife.
He works in a super masculine industry, and his coworkers always seem like they manage what their wives do, while he’s been the only one who doesn’t micromanage his wife’s every move.
If he tells anyone about his wife’s infidelity, he thinks they will simply say they warned him about her work trips.

He’s afraid of fake sympathy or being mocked behind his back, so he’s carrying his hurt around without anyone to tell.
He’s deeply saddened by his wife’s behavior, but he has to keep pretending nothing is the matter.
“She’s far away again right now because either she’ll cheat or she won’t; it’s up to her,” he said. “No reason to ruin her career because the damage is done.”
His wife has been super about maintaining contact with him in an effort to build back his security in their marriage.
He can tell she’s trying her hardest to make him feel better about the entire situation, but there’s nothing she can say or do to improve his mood.
“Dumb as it sounds, I really believe it’s a mistake she won’t make again, but man… soulmates don’t do this to each other,” he continued.
“Every naive thing I thought about love is so obviously wrong now. Yeah, I know soulmates don’t exist, and you build a relationship, but just like every sucker that thought they were different: I did too.”
“Then I found out. I hate living on this planet. Every little gentle thing dies; a whirlpool of sin sucks everything wholesome into it, and yes, even my love shrivels up and dies like everything else does. I just wish this was the one thing that could’ve remained untouched.”
