Episode 20

CALEB

Everyone copes with being cheated on differently. Some seek out the comfort of their best friends, some go looking for revenge, some sleep with someone else. But even if you do all or none or some of these, it can be hard to express exactly how it feels to be cheated on.

Now, Im not saying you have to bounce back right away, but sometimes, the best way to get over a cheater is by showing her that your life is WAY better now than it ever was when you were with her. That might mean taking up an exercise class and getting the revenge body youve always wanted, or it might mean getting a new job and moving across the country so that you dont even have to worry about running into her anymore.

But until that day comes when you can get back to feeling like your old self the you that was confident, happy, and carefree (and not worrying about what your wife are up to you need to surround yourself with all kinds of positivity. Positive people, positive vibes, positive words; that is the only way youre going to get over a cheater. Because the more you stay in your negative mindset, the less likely you are to pick yourself up and find happiness again. Yes, its going to be hard, but the hard work is worth it in the end. You might not think of reading novels when someone hurts you, but words can be very powerful and significant when trying to find who you are again.

I kept on tossing around …I couldn’t sleep a wink.

do you think I haven’t thought about death, yes, I thought about it a thousand times but I will never end my life, when I look at my boys.?

I applied for a leave and it was approved. I just wanted some time alone to think, the boys were still at my sister’s house. I haven’t told any of my family members about what she did, I will keep. I will just divorce her.

how are you handling it ” he asked?

I have been watching people being cheated and I would tell them it’s going to be alright, now it’s me I feel like my all world has come crashing right before my eyes ” I said

just be strong for the kids” he said

I know” I said

Lord why isn’t life so easy, the way I felt I don’t know if I could do anything. I told Blessings to take some few days off,I just wanted to be alone.

I turned and she looked a mess, her eyes were swollen, she was wearing a chitenge and black t-shirt.

I checked her chats there was a message from Andrew wanting to see her. I checked her pics she was taking in some lingerie.

I threw her phone to the wall.

I walked away. I wanted to beat her till she is dead.

I gave her my phone and dialed her mother’s line.

she talked to her mother and gave me back the phone.
