My Husband Has Been Cheating On Me

This must be the worst day of my life. I don't know whether I'm coming or going. Yesterday I found out my man is cheating on me. And I have proof.
I should have seen the signs: coming home late, sneaking away to "go to the store", being gone for an hour but coming home with just a gallon of milk. There were times when I thought I'd heard him talking in his sleep about it, but I couldn't be sure.
Yesterday though yesterday I knew. And I confronted him.
He played innocent of course. His kind always does. He hemmed and blustered, denying that anything was going on. I let him go on, digging his grave with every word. My heart sank as he spoke, knowing he had been deceiving me for so long. I was a fool. Others had warned me it might happen. I didn't want to believe them.
For twenty years now he professed his total dedication to my well being. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for me. I was his one and only, the one thing in this world he adored above all else.
HA!
As I sat there crying asking him WHY? He finally admitted his complicity. When I asked how long it had been going on, he told me it started long before I came along. He didn't want it to, but he was weak. It's an addiction he can't overcome. I begged and pleaded with him to stop, to never do it again. He couldn't do it.
Sitting on the bed he put his arms around me. Embarrassment covered his face as he asked me how I knew. What was it that gave him away?
Reluctantly I told him I was convinced when he kissed me hello coming in the door. I could smell it on him. However, when he went to shower I was positive. You see his phone rang. He had left it in his bag. I opened it up to answer it and found. *SOB*
THIS!!!!!
*sniff* He's been sneaking behind my back and eating chocolate! He KNOWS how much chocolate means to me. I live, breathe and dream chocolate. AND HE DID NOT SHARE!
I am not sure we can get over this transgression of his. With time and counseling we may. Right now though, I am not too sure.
Please pray for us. We are going to need it.

More commentsHi Grace.Ha! I knew there had to be a punchline. Great story!So, do you not eat chocolate? Do you avoid it for certain reasons? Do you keep none in the house? You could avoid all the sneaking around if you just had a little around. :) Sounds weird when I put it like that. Kind of like calling in a hooker for your philandering husband so you at least keep him around and sneaking behind your back. Eeyew!Anyway, this was fun. Thanks.Hugs, Dianne*curtsies* Thank you Dianne. Oh I eat chocolate every chance I get. I try to keep it to a minimum since it is so addictive for me. I don't want to gain too much wait and the sugar free kind and I do not agree with each other. Loved that analogy!Grace
