Welcome and looking forward to hearing all about it.
This is my third marriage. My first was very traditional. Everyone around us was getting married, starting families. Settling down.
We weren't a horrible match, but looking back, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. It did produce two great kids, now grown and on their own. I'm in my early 50s. The ex is a couple years older.
About 10 years into the marriage, I began suspecting that she was cheating. Something her sister reluctantly confided in me. After a huge argument, my ex finally admitted it and asked for a divorce.
At the time, my male ego got in the way and we split up.
I went into a deep depression and pretty much relied on one night stands. The trust just wasn't there to be had.
Then, about 3 years later, I met my second wife, Beth. She was a total free spirit. Loved life, loved me and she was 15 years younger than me. Which the ex hated because she related well with our kids and was a great stepmom.
I was seeing a therapist for my trust issues, so when Beth began cheating, it took me awhile to see it.
But, eventually she did admit it.
