One woman’s perfect marriage came to an end when she found out her husband was cheating on her with a 20-year-old. She shares how she picked herself up eventually.
“I met Don* in 2007. He was celebrating his 30th birthday with a lavish party and my friend Amy* asked me to tag along. It turned out to be a small, intimate gathering at a restaurant.
“I didn’t know many people there, so I stuck close to Amy until she introduced me to Don. ‘Is this my birthday present?’ he asked her, pointing his finger at me.
“I was stunned by his words, and it took me a moment to process what he meant. I blushed. We spent the whole night flirting with each other. He’s the classic Prince Charming women dream about tall, handsome, gentlemanly and, not to mention, a very family-oriented person (or so I thought).
“After the party ended, Don offered me a ride home as we lived near each other. Later that night, he sent me a text message: ‘Thank you for coming tonight. You’re the best present I’ve ever received.’ I went to bed with a smile.
“Don and I spent the next couple of months going out and getting to know each other better. And then we became a couple.
“He was the epitome of the perfect boyfriend, and friends and family often used us as an example of what an ideal relationship should be. We gave each other personal space, as we hardly saw the need to check on one another. Six years later, he popped the big question.
THE CRACKS START TO SHOW
“You know how people always say all good things must come to an end? I honestly thought that Don and I would be one of those couples who grow old together. But about 10 months into our ‘perfect’ marriage, I discovered he was cheating on me.
“It was a weekend. He’d posted a picture on Instagram, and asked me to look at it as we headed out for brunch. As I was scrolling through the Instagram feed on his phone, a text message came in, and my blood ran cold.
