This one I dedicate to the men in my life who found the bittersweet end of a cheating wife.

It may seem hard to think that women are the culprits of sexual deviance when so often it is the reversal that is depicted within most pop culture. Yet it happens - cheating bastards become cheating bitches. Of course before such harsh language is accepted and tolerated, let me tell the story of unfortunate outcomes that leads to this.

Whether you believe in marriage or not, I would like to think that most people are looking for someone to share our life with while on earth. My good friend indeed met such a person quite a few years ago now. He did end up marry her a couple years later. They moved to a new city with great jobs, a great home and eventually beautiful children. On paper they appeared to be the perfect nuclear family. That is until .  .  .

Less than a month ago I receive the gut-wrenching call that after 8 years of marriage they are separating. Quite upsetting. I mean here is a guy who is kind, good-looking and smart. He provided what any woman would want - unconditional love and support. It wasn’t enough for her apprently.

They say that life comes in waves - the wave of friends getting married, the wave of friends having babies and then the wave of friends getting divorced. I thought I was too young to experience that latter just yet, but guess not. I couldn’t help but wonder what happened between ‘I Do’ and ‘I’m Seperated’ that made cheating seem like a good idea, but I guess shite continues to happen to good people.

In all our conversations over the years he never made mention of any problems or issues - it makes sense now. Of course our latest conversation only enraged me because it is something that has left my friend broken. He said I hope one day someone will love me for me. Key words there, ‘for me’. No doubt you will my friend, of this I am certain. Listen to the song below, think it sums up what we believe the other person to be in the relationship before being let down.

Side Note: There are two sides to every story, but no matter what rough patch has come about in any relationship, cheating is an inexcusable alibi. Have the decency to end things before it gets to that point.
