I Would Never Condone It!

Within minutes of my last post going live I started receiving emails. So many emails, some were not nice. So let me just say out loud, I would NEVER condone cheating! I wasn’t saying you needed to go out and cheat in that post. I was just stating facts. People are using dating sites as a way to cheat on their spouses.

In fact, there are sites that cater to that. The article was intended to be a bit controversial. If you have been with me for a while you already know that my ex wasn’t faithful for our entire relationship and then marriage. I would never want any one, man or woman, to experience the pain that I went through. The emotional pain of cheating can be overwhelming.

I have used a dating site myself, years ago when they first became a thing and before my ex. I met a couple of really nice guys whom I remained friends with. That doesn’t mean every encounter was wonderful. I have heard the horror stories of dates that were less than. I had a few of those myself before I realized I just didn’t want to put myself out there that way anymore.

I also know a couple who met one another on a dating site. They are so happy and I’m happy for them. Okay, there are times that they seem over happily and sweet and it makes my teeth hurt. I mean no one can be that happy all the time. I’ve never seen them have an argument but maybe they make sure not to do it in front of other people.

I just wanted to reassure everyone that I’m still firmly against cheating and will remain that way. I refuse to change my beliefs for anyone. I did that once and lost who I was for a long time. I hope that you all read the article in the spirit in which it was written.
