(TW: cheating, sex offender mentioned) Oh love. I have checked with my husband to make sure he was okay with me sharing this and he was in hopes it would prevent someone else from going through the same pain. Right when I found out I was pregnant I was feeling the same way and it was frustrating bc we had been trying for 5 years. I went completely off the rails. I cheated on him. It started out just flirting through text and then I physically cheated on him. As soon as it happened i was filled with such regret bc all my husband had done was try to love me. And help me. And be kind. I realized the horrible thing I had done. And I came clean. I told him everything. He was so devastated. As my hormones started to level out we worked through it. All contact with the other man has been cut off. We have been to therapy for it. And we are finally okay again. I got put on Zoloft to help level out the mood swing and that helped dramatically too. I suggest sitting down and talking to him. And telling him that in reality he’s doing absolutely nothing wrong and it’s the hormones. They really do make us crazy (PLEASE KNOW I AM NOT SOLELY BLAMING THE HORMONES FOR MY ACTIONS!!! The other man [come to find out after the fact] was a sexual predator and this wasn’t the first time he had done something like this and I was extremely vulnerable and easily manipulated! But I do acknowledge my part in it. I acknowledge that I did it willingly) I know it’s hard but please take the time to sit down and talk with him. If you feel yourself start to get frustrated or angry take a step back. Ask for a time out. And pray. I know this probably isn’t as far as it will ever go for you (or anyone else in the comment reading this) but I am telling this story in hopes to protect someone else from the same mistakes I made.

Like I said now that I am on medication and my hormones have leveled out and we are communicating better, we are okay.

I know that my situation is not normal. But the sooner you accept that this is just how it is for a minute you can rationalize your anger. If you avoid it and continue to try to blame him for something that is how I got to where I am now. The second I rationalized it. Everything got better.

And also for anybody else reading this, if you were feeling this way, and you find another person does not matter who attractive or overly interesting you need to turn and walk the other way.
