I deleted the post about telling a friend that her affair was an affair, because people seem to think it was too apparent who I was talking about. I don't want that to be the case. I really didn't intend to "slander" her as she has done to me. This entire situation saddens me intensely, not for myself, but for everyone involved.
When people have affairs, they lie. They don't tell the truth. When someone you love is having an affair and they slander you after you tell them what they are doing is wrong... and people believe that, it's rather sad.
Sometimes people aren't what you thought they were. Sometimes people will lie about you to get their way. Sometimes people will lie to a spouse in order to protect them from being hurt, but it's not protecting them, it's protecting yourself from being the object of someone's pain.
One day, when we all leave this earth, every lie will be exposed. Every true motive of the heart will be exposed.
And I know we will ALL be shamed.
I'm not going to have comments on this post, because I really don't want to get in to arguments about affairs being wrong, people lying, etc. It is what it is, people are free to believe what they want to believe.
But the truth always sets us free. Regardless of how hard it is to swallow.
