TJ, my heart feels strongly for you, having been there myself. I fought 13 years to keep my first marriage together; fighting lies, overlooking her proven infidelities, burying my feelings.

Are you dumb? Pathetic? Hardly. You've been trusting, caring, and a man in the best sense of the word. You kept your promise.

I left my marriage with bruises and financial disaster at 35. The bruises were inside and out; wasn't sure whether I could ever trust again, if I'd ever find another. Serendipity led me to my partner Lady Dee: after we were married, we learned our exes had had an affair in another town we'd both lived in.

You can still find happiness in life, TJ. Don't put the blame where it doesn't belong.

Feel free to PM or email me personally if you need to talk. I'm here for you, friend.

Chuck
