The Mistress! - Anonymous Ok! So before you judge me Which is a normal reaction to the headline… Let me brief you on my life…yes, it is no excuse for my actions but it just might shed some light on the situation. I got married for love, the whole fairy tale shebang. The beautiful white dress and tons of family surrounding me was the last thing on my mind. All I could think about was spending the rest of my life with the man that made me feel like the world. Three years into our marriage things started to change. I recall the late hours and being side lined. The emptiness, loneliness only made sense after I found out about his first affair. The pain that I felt crushed me to the core! I lost myself and with that, lost all form of dignity that came with it! My self worth took a turn for the worst after the second time and not to mention my will power after the third. Yes! WHY DIDN’T I LEAVE??? Well that is because I never mentioned my findings to anyone. Who would have believed me in the first place?! We were the happy couple in love. Then the kids came along and we both just drifted into the comfort of ourselves.
