I feel like getting married was a symbolic ceremony for my ex and I.
Her cheating hurt so much more because she was my wife.
It make’s it feel like a very personal betrayal when a spouse cheats.
I don’t know if I would’ve cared as much or if it would’ve been as embarrassing that she cheated if we hadn’t been married.
My point is that I don’t actually know anyone who hasn’t cheated.
My brother, his ex, his current wife, my sister I think, her ex husband, my mother and she said my father did and now my ex wife all cheated.
My sister said that I’m the only person she’s ever met that wouldn’t cheat so why would anyone honestly get married anymore?
It just makes everything hurt more.
I understand wanting to appear like a strong family unit for the kids, but then it falls apart and the kids go through it too.
Why get married???
