I am having a really difficult time finding a way to explain to my husband why I did what I did without sounding like I am blaming him and not taking responsibility for my own actions. I have not confessed yet to my husband because he is out of town but I plan to when he gets home.
Because my husband has cheated on me in the past, and I feel like we never got past that, I believe that opened the door for me to cheat on him. I still made the decision, I know. But I have never felt like he took complete responsibility for his actions. We just tried to move on. But I have never trusted him fully. And always felt like I was waiting for him to do it again. It killed any confidence and self worth. However, I have been fairly good at concealing that. But I have definitely craved outside validation from others.
