It's so so heartbreaking to read posts like these. Especially that they're obviously absolutely suffering, but they're also so in shock that they don't know how to deal with something like this. It's typical to turn to others for advice when your spouse or partner cheats. It's impossible to know what to do, and you always hear stories of people making it work, despite an inner instinct and voice telling you to run the other direction.

“Can’t wait to see you tonight”: Woman oversees flirtatious text from coworker on husband’s phone, he promises to be true to her but she contemplates divorce anyway
Divorce is not only heartbreaking and horrific, it's just a pain logistically and financially. To have to resettle everything in your life, to move, to seek stability elsewhere other than the husband you thought you knew and loved for all these years together. You have to hire lawyers, divvy up assets and money, as well as sunder all the love between the two of you to restart your lives separately. On top of the pain and suffering of a marriage had and lost, to add betrayal and heartache to it is just like a sword stabbing you straight in the heart.
Everyone has their own story behind cheating, or being cheated on. Some people have stories of both. In Dante Alighieri's The Inferno, the last circle of torment is for those who sinned by treason. Meaning, betrayal, violence, or malice. In cheating, it can be the worst thing someone has experienced. It can be the most painful realization, not only for the torment of thinking of your partner with someone else intimately, but that your entire world with them and opinion of them is now shattered, strangled, and distorted into something surreal. You stop knowing up from down, and left from right. It's not something I'd wish on my worst enemy.
In the story below, the protagonist is a woman who finds out one unfortunate day that her husband is cheating on her with his coworker. But you'll have to read the full story below for all the juicy details.
