    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Have You Been Cheated On?

Great Thread guys!

Griz, your wife sounds like a very lucky lady. It is also comforting to know that there are still folks out there with morals and ethics.:)

Yes, I have been cheated on..My husband of six years decided that "the grass was greener" on the other side and started to have an affair. He ended up leaving me for the woman he was having the affair with.

I was willing to forgive him and wanted to stay married to him. Infact, I begged and pleaded with him. He left anyway. When I stood up in front of God and my family and friends and made the vow and promise that I would love and be with this man the rest of my life, till death do us part, I MEANT IT! Obviously, his promise was only until something better comes along.

I prayed to God everyday for help. Several times I sat in the church praying and crying, when the chuch was closed, I would sit in the church parking lot and do the same thing. It truly felt like the end of the world. I just wanted to lay down and die. I just could not imagine my life without him. I wanted to keep my husband and our marriage together just like I had pictured in my little "fantasy world"..you know, the house with the picket fence and they lived happily ever after..blah, blah , blah..

Our family and friends were stunned. He denied that he was having an affair, but would never give a reason as to why he wanted a divorce. NEVER!

5 Years later, he married her. I am still single.

This year, it will be six years since our divorce. I am still not over it.

What is so sad about the whole thing is that every other man I meet has to pay for what my ex husband did to me. I swore that I would not be bitter but that is easier said than done. I gave my heart away and now I can not get it back. He still has it.

So, to answer the question at hand, No , I would never cheat, don't believe in it..it is not worth it and the grass is not greener on the other side. I also could never live with myself by doing to another human being what my ex husband did to me.

On a lighter note, Anyone want any great tips on how to catch someone cheating??? are you suspicious??..shoot me an email...I have a whole bag of tricks..I missed my true calling. I should have been a P.I.:rofl:

My wife and I have always made it clear to each other that we are going to be fine either with or without each other. She does not need me to be happy nor I her. But, we compliment each other and we are best friends/lovers before we are parents or anything else. Not my job, not my pride, nor any person will come inbetween my love for my wife.

SDD - I urge you to keep praying and to hold fast. God has great things in store for you. You'll trust again, just don't be afraid to be vulnerable. I find that it's through my vulnerability that my wife and I fall more in love.

Rana, thank you. If I was younger and single I'd take you out. I reckon not everything in Cali is bad! :)

I hope you are right Griz! Sometimes I just feel like I am living the trials of Jobe!

Thank you for the inspiration!

Well I might as well tell my sob story here.
I had a wife that I truly adored and was so in love with even after 10 years and 2 beautiful daughters. I am in the army and have been deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan for the last 3 years. Through all of this my wife supported me whole heartedly until this last deployment when she ripped my heart out and almost cost me my life. I was in Afghanistan and had been for almost 7 months when things just didn't seem right to me with her. I started asking questions and she assured me all was fine. Then I received an email from a very close friend who was stationed near Fort Lewis, WA where my wife lived and worked. He saw her with another man in a restaurant the night before and wanted to know if we had split up. I said no but we had many friends and her family who lived close by so I replied that she was probably with one of them. He replied back that unless you let your friends kiss your wife or she is into incest I don't think this is the case and the guy she was with was an army officer. Anyway, I confronted her and she admitted to cheating on me while I was getting shot at everyday. Of course this took me out of the battle mentally for a while and I will never forgive her for it. Yes we are divorced now as I cannot be with someone who I cannot trust, especially in my profession as I am gone for long periods of time and the last thing i need to worry about is what my spouse is doing while I am in combat. Trust is everything to me and I DO NOT GIVE SECOND CHANCES!

I see red x's too griz......
 
Boy, that is strange as I see moving icons and everything on mine! These are not emoticons that are on my computer either. Rather, they are animated gif's pulled from the web. Why they show up on my computer and not everyone else's is puzzling. Well, at least now my comment can be seen (albeit with less humor now that I have x's!).

ron, sad story...i dont know if this is just a coincidence, but lately, ive been hearing A LOT or stories where the man goes to the army and his wife, girlfriend,etc. cheats on him..thats so sad...i think that everyone should talk about it with their spouses..which im sure you did...and an agreement is an agreement.......but im sure it was her loss. :) if you go back to iraq..say hi to my family for me..haha :bawling:

Thanks Rana and you are exactly right. divorce rate in the army alone is at 68% due to the HUGE amount of time we spend deployed. Of the last 4 years I have been gone almost 3 years of it. I am totally and completely faithful to the woman I am with but apparently she doesn't hold the same values I do. You would think you would know someone after 10 of marriage but boy did I learn my lesson......
As far as saying hello to your family... I don't plan on going back anytime soon!!!!! And I do hope your family is safe there.......
 
safe...HA..think again....i dont know why anyone would wanna go back there....iraq used to be soo beautiful...now its a war zone...even worse..my family lives in Baghdad...sigh....oh well what can you do..just pray theyre okay...yah..its a good idean to stay put here
 
I have debated on replying to this thread for a while now, but the answer is yes.

Id reather not go into the long long details of my previous marriage but I feel that a sexual relationship is a must for some and that priorities on my end went the wrong way for what was needed by the other half of that marriage.

I still do not feel it was right for it to have been done to me but at the same time I can almost understand in some weird way why it happened. Some things mean moer to one person than to another.

In the end I feel that things like that happen for a reason and the reason for me was my cureent almost 11 year relationship. Not perfect all the time by any means but the relationship that will last and endure instead of one that needs to look elsewhere for what is missing.
 
Yes I have been cheated on, and yes I have cheated, in retaliation of being cheated on.

I was cheated on by all 3 of my long term bfs. My very first bf in high school cheated on me in front of his house (i lived across the street) on my birthday. I wasn't ready to become unvirginized, and he didn't want to wait. Same thing happened with my 2nd bf. But the funny thing is after I had broken up with them, a while went by and they proposed to me. It was great to laugh in their faces.

My last and current guy, my fiance now, cheated on me 8 years ago with his xgf the first year we were together. We stayed togteher and I said I forgave him, but 2 years later, I cheated on him because I was still hurt. It didn't fix the problem at all. Just made things worse. But we were able to get past all the childish stuff and everything has been relatively good for a long time now. We actually have a really strong bond now.
 
Second wife

My second ex-wife relapsed and went on a drug binge and cheated. I had to have an AIDS test and everything. She passed away 2 years ago from drugs.
