Charity now works as a coach who helps other married couples overcome betrayal and fidelity.
“We were two empty vessels trying to suck the life out of each other,” said Charity. “We are each responsible for our own happiness.”
Despite the heartache, Charity says the affaire made their marriage stronger. “This affair turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to our marriage,” said Charity. “It shattered everything but we were in a toxic unhealthy place.”

I was in that same unhappy, toxic place. I intercepted explicit photos to and from her ex.
Divorce happened. And you know what? Much happier with that result.
I could be wrong, but I'm not willing to find out.
Even if a couple spends the rest of their lives making the marriage, after infidelity, it never returns to the same state as before the affair. There is always an eternal barrier between the spouses that neither can really overcome. It can only be a different marriage for the rest of their lives.
She’s full of it. He’ll cheat again and she’ll pour more money on a liberal therapist.
Did he give you a STD,too?
Sounds like they needed some better sex counseling.
Saw the pic. He looks a bit afraid.
She’s actually making money on this, so I guess the family finances are now dependent on the music major keeping it zipped.
Same here, and besides, we’re happy, not much money, but we have a roof and food. Retired- done with that rat race.The kids are doing ok, why eff things up?
Another story about Hillary Clinton? No thanks.
Well, music majors don’t get more for that?
We headed to divorce anyway, and I accepted a job in another state as the divorce neared finality. Movers were in the house cataloging and packing all my stuff (books for the most part) and one of the movers holds up a leather bound thin hardcover book and asks "does this go too?" There was no title and nothing on the binding, and I looked at it and realized it was her diary. She stored it behind a row of my books (!) I read it quickly and nearly fell down - it was a self-confessional about the affair she was having with her boss and her bisexual inclinations with friends and colleagues.
The night before I had read that I told her I would call off the movers and reject the job offer and stay if she was willing to consent to a stay of the divorce proceedings. She rejected that idea and I was really torn. But, the next day, reading the diary severed any sense of residual commitment I had left. It was like being shot out of a cannon on my way to a new job and a new life. Which happened to lead to meeting my wife of, now, twenty-one years, and the greatest happiness of my life.
I cannot believe that there is anything you can do to restore trust and commitment once one spouse engages in infidelity. You can fool yourself into thinking it does not matter, but then what you have at that point is not a marriage - it's an accommodation.
I don’t know, but the woman also looks like she would cheerfully chop up the family pet.
A bottle blonde. Ain’t nothing real about this one
Same here. Stayed with her for the kids.
She cheated again. Divorced her.
I am so much happier and wealthier!
And the kids spend very little time with her.
The Bible agrees.
Or maybe it doesn’t.
I had to look for the picture.
Then I noticed - they met at church camp.
And he is something called a “music pastor”???
Whatever religion they say they are, they worship Satan.
