Title: Betrayal: How I Cheated on Him, Big Time I did it. I cheated on my husband. And I did it big time. For years, we had both made concessions in our marriage, hiding parts of ourselves, and feeling lonely at times. But isn't that just part of being married? Weren't we happy enough? Well, apparently I wasn't. And when the opportunity presented itself, I didn't hesitate to indulge in an affair. I won't go into the details of my infidelity, but I will say that it was electrifying and thrilling. For the first time in ages, I felt alive and desired. And I couldn't get enough of it. Of course, my husband eventually found out. He was devastated, hurt, and angry. And while I don't blame him for his reaction, I also don't regret what I did. I know that infidelity is frowned upon in our society, but sometimes it's necessary to shake things up. To feel alive again. To remind ourselves that we are still desirable and attractive. I am not condoning infidelity - it's a personal decision that comes with serious consequences. But what I am saying is that it can sometimes be a wake-up call that our relationships need attention and effort. So if you're feeling unfulfilled in your marriage, don't just ignore it. Talk to your partner. Seek out counseling. And if, after all of that, you're still not happy, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate your relationship. But whatever you do, don't make the same mistake I did. Don't cheat. Habíamos hecho concesiones en nuestros matrimonios, negado partes de nosotros mismos, a menudo nos sentíamos solos, pero ¿quién no? ¿No éramos lo suficientemente felices?
