Names have been changed to protect all involved.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been married for nearly 25 years, and and as far as I know, my wife has been cheating on me for 13 of those years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, I thought we were fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought all was well, and each time the infidelity happened, I was truly convinced each instance was my fault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;So I forgave her each time.&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had an affair with my boss, my best friend, and even my attorney. The infidelity was rampant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She convinced me that my weaknesses and demons warranted her behavior so I put up with it, feeling absolutely terrible for being the root cause of her actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She ended up getting pregnant to one of her &#8220;lovers&#8221;. But by the time I truly discovered the truth of her infidelity, I had already fell in love with the baby and I refused to give her up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infidelity and Raising Another Man&#8217;s Biological Child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m currently raising another man&#8217;s child, but it isn&#8217;t her fault how she got here. She&#8217;s a human being. A person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is now 3 years old and knows me as &#8220;dadda&#8221; and I wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way. It shatters my heart how she got here, but it mends my heart that she is here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have written a full book about my wife&#8217;s terrible physical and narcissistic abuse and infidelity. She has truly performed acts that only the most depraved, yet creative Hollywood writers could ever contemplate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am healing, but the pain seems never ending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Check These Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/complete-guide-to-mindful-meditation-and-emotional-healing\/\">Complete Guide to Mindful Meditation, and Emotional Healing.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/the-hidden-impact-of-teen-dating-violence-on-mental-health-identity-and-confidence\/\">The Hidden Impact of Teen Dating Violence<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/survivor-support\/\">Find Support with BTSADV<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/breakthesilencedv.org\/support-line\/\">Support Line<\/a><br><br><strong>Other Resources and Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/acfmain-stage.acf.hhs.gov\/ofvps\/fv-centers\">Resource Centers | The Administration for Children and Families<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/\">National Domestic Violence Hotline: Domestic Violence Support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehotline.org\/get-help\/domestic-violence-local-resources\/\">Local Resources for Survivors | The Hotline<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Anonymous Survivor **The following is written by a survivor of domestic violence, infidelity, and abuse.
