This is not easy for me to write....

Most of you guys probably know this about me: I keep my love life really private.

But I've decided to take a leap of faith & share something I consider deeply private with you, in the hopes it'll help someone struggling....

I just found out the man I've been with for 6 months and absolutely adored was having another relationship the entire time.

Now, I'm no dummy, ok? I'm fairly savvy when it comes to the opposite sex, and I'm well aware of people's abilities to lie & manipulate.
I had no clue. I loved him.

The other woman he was with reached out to me on FB...she'd been sober a year, and relapsed when she found out.

I would NEVER...wanna know why?

Because I see myself through my OWN eyes.
She saw herself through his, and is now lost. She's a complete mess.

I'm very sad, hurt & pissed off.
But it's life. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it's wonderful.
This is a sucky moment.

I don't need a bunch of "men suck" tweets, or cheating tales. It's happened to all of us, and it blows.

I'm simply sharing this this you in the hopes that people start understanding that if you work really hard on discovering who you are & begin loving & respecting yourself, NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU.

So, I'm gonna be sad & go through my thing. But because of all my hard work, and frankly, because of the incredible strength & hope I get from so many of you...I will go through this sober.

Thank you all, sincerely.

Hope this helps someone.

Love you Smartasses, except anyone who thinks lying & cheating is cool
