Her Husband Cheated On Her Five Months Ago, So She Cheated Multiple Times To Get Back At Him, But Now She Feels Guilty And Doesn’t Know If She Should Come Clean About The Infidelity
This woman is currently married, but her relationship with her husband totally fell apart about five months ago. That’s because, while he was in school to become a therapist, he actually cheated on her with one of his own patients.
Not only did this shatter their marital vows, but it also broke the code of conduct at school – causing her husband to get kicked out of his program. According to her, his infidelity quite literally ruined both of their lives, and they’ve been separated ever since.
“And I still love him, even though I hate him and think he is a monster for what he did,” she revealed.
In the beginning, after finding out about the cheating, she was dead set on getting divorced and even met with a lawyer – filing the papers.
But later, she ultimately opted to put the divorce proceedings on hold. Her mental health was seriously struggling, and she didn’t know what to do.
This led her to “go crazy” in what she described as a trauma response. Then, she ended up cheating on her husband numerous times to get back at him – which he still doesn’t know about.
Now, despite the fact that her husband cheated first and they are currently separated, she can’t help but feel guilty and ashamed.
She feels completely torn about how to handle this situation, too. On the one hand, she thinks she should tell her husband. On the other, she has no idea why she would do that, given what he did.
“I still [freaking] love this evil person and feel dedicated to him,” she admitted.

She initially thought that cheating on her husband or even just meeting another man would possibly help her understand why her husband was unfaithful in the first place. At the very least, she thought being with someone else might help her move on.
Instead, sleeping with other guys has only made her feel much worse, and in the wake of it all, she has no idea whether to come clean to her husband.
“Do I tell him? Unlike him, I actually care about his sanity. I wouldn’t want him or anyone to feel the feelings I have felt these past five months,” she vented.
Do you think she needs to tell her husband the truth or not? Is honesty crucial if the goal is to one day repair their relationship? What would you do?
