Cheating Husbands – YOU ARE NOT ALONE

So unless you have been living in a bubble, Rihanna is a famous singer that was dating Chris Brown, another famous singer.  She was in an abusive relationship with Chris Brown, and the whole world found out a couple of months ago.  She did her first interview a couple of weeks ago (watch it here – http://abcnews.go.com/2020/  and it was good.  I was in an abusive relationship before so I could relate to alot of what she was saying.  The interesting thing about the interview was the connection between how she felt and how we feel as the wife of a cheating spouse.

1. ‘I wanted to help him out’ – as women, we are always thinking about how the man feels and helping him out.  That is what makes us stay in bad relationships, wanted to help him out.

2. ‘I just wanted it to go away’ – we try to sometimes ignore or not think about the situation in hopes that it can go away. This is oftentimes when we forgive out husbands by just putting the act out of our mind, when in reality, we are just ignoring what will eventually will come to the surface.

3. Look at it from a 3rd person’s view.  This was good advice that Rihanna gave.  She said that if you look at the relationship from the outside looking in, you would think, man, what am I doing.  The same applies sometimes to women after they find out their man is cheating.

4. Love is blind – YES IT IS.  There are situations that I never thought I would stay in but I did.  There are things I thought I would never do that for a man, but I did.  If you have been there, don’t beat yourself up over it, we all go through it.

I hope women that have found out their husband are cheating and women who are in abusive relationships watch the interview, it is always good to hear a story of a strong women surviving, which is what we are all going to do as well.
