Misplaced rage

posted April 26th, 2018 at 6:00 PM

I did something sad and misguided. I cannot admit it to anyone in my life because I am mildly ashamed of my choices. My husband had an affair. Which was a horrible shock. Not entirely a surprise because he and I cheated on his partner when we met but it still stung when it happened to me. I reacted poorly. I blamed the woman and not him. I took all of my anger out on a stranger because it was easier than admitting what a jerk he is and how sad our marriage had become over the past few years. I didn't just blame her though. That wasn't enough. I lodged a false complaint of harassment against her. I didn't want to admit that he has been fooling around with multiple women. I focused all of his mistakes on her. I went to the police and told them a sordid story which then caused them to show up at her door. There she sat at home with her children while the RCMP knocked on her door to question her about her affair with my husband. I didn't think about how it would probably terrify her kids. I only thought about myself and my bruised ego. It's not like my husband tried to stop me either. Imagine him letting me send the police to her door. Who is this man I let sleep beside me every night. And, you know what, I don't even care that I scared her kids or upset their world view or their stability. I got my revenge on her.

You lost me at "And, you know what..." but until then I was impressed with your self awareness. Too bad your pettiness cancels that out.

Doubtful

Yes, I’m doubtful that this post is actually written by the woman it claims to be from. It’s just way too coincidental and it doesn’t smell right somehow. I’m calling bs on this one.

... female privilege for the win! No man could ever do this, it's just not possible, he wouldn't be able to sell his lies to the police. Why can a woman do this? It's just one of a half-dozen lies she will use every day.

There you have it...

You are a very mean human being for doing that to her. Affairs happen to everyone on this planet lady. Grow up and be an adult about it. Why dont

That you didn’t realize that most men will cheat on their wives. I think he cheated cause your personality shows vindictiveness. Instead of seeing his cheating as a wake up call to fix the problems in your marriage you focused on the woman in the affair. Your reaction to the affair shows more about your negative personality than about the actual cheating. Therapy may help with your marriage issues.
