I know I'm not the first woman out there that has had an affair. It's overwhelming that many women who have all share a very similar story. I share mine because others have been so valuable to me. Other women write and I read the pain and heartache in their stories and what they did and how they handled it and what they felt and I don't feel so alone. We've all been on the same roller coaster ride...we've all heard the same lines...we've all felt the same things. We've been cursed at and called names and belittled for being with a married person....we've all heard that affairs are just "fantasy"....we all have hearts...we all have minds...none of us want to screw our lives up or the lives of anyone in ours...we all just live in the reality that we allowed our hearts and minds to open up to the forbidden. My story isn't special or unique...I've read a zillion blogs and have been on so many support sites and I see my story in many, many other women. I'm a woman. I'm a wife. I'm a mother of four amazing kids. I'm a friend. I'm a person with a sensitive heart that's very sentimental. I chose to walk a very wide path. I chose to betray. I chose to sin. And I choose now to share my story with others because I had a light bulb moment that gave me clarity and perspective and helped me to stop being second best...to stop allowing myself to chose to make my husband second best...to open my eyes and stop rationalizing and hiding and sinning my face off. I hope that any words I say may help another woman who has gone through or is going through an affair. I've been on the wide path and I'm choosing to go on a narrow one now.
