Charles – the Husband With Monogamy Issues
When my husband Charles announced to me that he was in love with someone else,my world came crashing down upon me. My eyes burned and filled up with tears and I remember I let out this unusual, painful cry. I felt like someone had just punched me in the throat and I actully felt like I was going to pass out.I remember collapsing into a heap on the floor right then and there. I would have much rather he had told me that he had been ?fucking someone else? rather than, ?I?m in love with someone else?. I can?t tell you exactly what happened next exceptthe next couple of months to a year were all a huge blur. I went into severe depression, Iattempted suicide, spoke to ?the other woman? and humiliated myself, begging her to leave my husband alone, I got How to Catch a Cheater arrestedfor assaulting Charles, spent the most humiliating 36 hours of my lifein jail and was then put into a strict psychiatric program for 6 weeks. I was ruined, I was a mess, I was wreck and I almost lost custody of my son. All that I had gone through all of those years with Charles, I felt, were for nothing. Broke and broken I lived in a fog for a very long time, struggling in every way imaginable. I lost my little family life, my home and my car. I remember the hatred I had for the woman my husband had left me for. In my eyes, she had broken some kind of woman’s ?code? by sleeping with a married man and then not waiting for him to either work it out with his wife or to be divorced. I hated her for ?backstabbing? me. I hated her for existing.
