Or maybe I had been too blind to see the signs. We had been married for ten years, and I thought we were happy. But when I found the messages between him and Sarah, it felt like my world came crashing down. My heart broke into pieces, and the man I thought I knew became a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>The confrontation wasn\u2019t pretty. He denied it, of course, but the evidence was right there. I wanted to scream, to make him feel the same pain I was feeling. But instead, I stayed quiet, plotting my next move. I wasn\u2019t going to let him walk all over me. If he could betray me, I could do the same.<\/p>\n<p>I reached out to someone I knew David would hate\u2014a colleague from work who had always been flirtatious with me. I knew it would hurt David if he ever found out, and that\u2019s exactly what I wanted. We went out for drinks, and one thing led to another. I felt empowered, in control of my own narrative for the first time since the affair.<\/p>\n<p>When David found out, he was shocked. He couldn\u2019t believe I had done the same thing to him. The tables had turned, and for once, I held the power. It was a bitter victory, but it was mine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1729185307613\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 740px; height: 740px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"13\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1729185309885\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized allow-copy_cover__on-elem\" style=\"top: 26px; left: 10px; width: 740px; height: 740px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"18\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David\u2019s affair came out of nowhere.
