Yesterday afternoon I got a disturbing phone call from my mother - telling me that our very good family friends were having troubles. Turns out the guy was caught cheating on his lovely wife of close to 20 years. Keep in mind, they have 5 gorgeous kids.
I think I'm in pure shock. Here I thought this guy was the most faithful, solid individual who loved his family. Boy was I wrong! Talk about *thinking* you know someone (for like 13 years) and come to find out you are totally off about their character.
Cheating is such a horrible betrayal in any relationship. Years ago, I was cheated on and it sucked. It hurt. And when it happened to me (long before I met my awesome husband) I felt ashamed. Ashamed that I had been with such a creep. Lord knows how my friend is feeling right now - after that many years being married and 5 kiddos later.... my heart goes out to her and the kids.
It makes me so grateful to have an awesome marriage with my wonderful, supportive and faithful husband. I have a beautiful son and one on the way. Boy am I ever counting my blessings!
