Cheating Husbands – YOU ARE NOT ALONE

So most of you by now have heard about David Letterman cheating on his wife Regina.  http://news.cnpanyu.com/2009/1006/6599.html Here is my letter to Regina….

Dear Regina……

Your husband said that you were ‘horribly hurt’ and rightfully so, I remember those days of just finding out about the affair, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, you feel like you just lost your best friend.  Regina, I have been there.  My husband lying to me?  My husband cheating?  What!!  Like this must be a bad dream, I would of bet a million dollars that he would not have an affair, and there you are.  Crying, hurt, feeling like no one in the world can understand you.  This was the man that was all about protecting me, and then he has an affair.  Your entire perception of reality is changed forever.  You will question more, you are in a state where you don’t know what to do.  And that is ok, for now you just grieve, and it is ok.  You just lost that ‘image’ of your husband, and it is a lost only a women that has gone through an affair knows.  What I will let you is that there will be better days.  Don’t make any quick decisions.  Get a babysitter and take some time for YOU.  It is your time to heal, and whatever that means to you, your husband should respect it.  Know that this was NOT YOUR FAULT.  Your husband is responsible for his actions, not you.  I know you can’t see it right now, but trust me when I say, out of this experience, you will be a stronger and wiser person, you will recover, and whatever decision you make, it is the right one for you.
