: About Me

I was born and raised at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado. I am now living in a form of probationary restraint in southern Missouri. No, I did not break any civil laws. However, I'm on probation here from living the life I set out to live years ago as I am learning lessons I refused in my stubborn self-reliance of youth. Simply put, I'm taking this chapter in my life with a stride and a sense of humor. Hindsight being 20/20 I have always thought there was much more to me than there is. I was the ultimate savior and the most impatient person, thinking I could do things in life much better and faster than even God Himself. Now, I see I am only one person who is only in control of me and the job of Savior was long taken and done well by the only Savior given onto this earth - it's Creator.

I have a purpose, though some days I'm not sure exactly what it is. I do know I have learned much in my life's experiences and I have shared my story with many through the course of the last few years. I pray I will continue to be of value and service to those persons I come in contact with even if that contact is for a brief moment, a simple reason, a season or a life time. I have been encouraged by many supportive friends and family members who have read my writings, who have spent many hours listening to my rants and raves, laughs and tears. I have had a positive influence on others who have walked in similar pathways to reach the point of 'rock bottom' in their own lives. I have much to share yet I too have much to continue learning and I most especially enjoy learning and sharing together with others who are on a path to find peace, serenity and happiness in their own lives - men and women alike.

I have two wonderful sons who walk beside me. One is a graduating senior who happens to have a multitude of 'limitations'. He doesn't let these limitations stop him from appreciating the wonder of each new day he is given. He embraces happiness and the beauty of life in a way that many of us can only imagine having within us. My youngest is entirely a mirror of his mother. He is junior me, mini-me. I pray though, that he has learned more at his age better than I learned through the many years it took me to get to this point in my life.

Relationships & Family > Cheating Spouses & Affairs Why some married women have affairs

28 of 71

Why did I cheat on my husband? At the time, it felt good, now I feel absolutely awful! I don't know why I did that I love my husband! I didn't cheat on him, we were separated and he was cheating, so I found another to be with - that's not cheating! We only talked, nothing else happened! Of course I'm sure, I simply needed someone to talk with that didn't degrade me - someone who made me feel special! He was so much more attentive to my needs, emotionally! The sex was dynamic yet this man talks with me and listens, unlike my husband! Those are four different women all of which I have heard ...
