I guess I am a cheater. But you can still be a good person and a cheater. I am an involved mom; a successful industry exec; a helpful neighbor. I just fell in love with two very different people. One is based in the reality of everyday life. The other is an escape from that.

Before I had time to think about it, I was typing in his password, which he has never changed, and read the text which was explicit and made it clear that this person, S, had not only seen my husband’s penis, but had done things with it.

Was it worth it? Decide for yourself.
