The Infidelity All Around Is Affecting My Happy Marriage
Have you ever heard of the saying…”waiting for the other shoe to drop”? Well, that’s what I’ve been feeling lately.
You see, there are some couples in our circle of friends who have had their marriages rocked by infidelity, and that’s scaring the crap out of me.
Don’t get me wrong. My relationship with my husband is a good one and he’s never given me a reason not to trust him in all the years we’ve been together. But I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Why?

I can’t help but think that these ladies were just as happy and thought the same thing about their relationship. It wasn’t perfect but they felt safe enough to say and there weren’t any problems and then boom. All of a sudden their lives are changed in an instant after they get news of their husband (or wife in one case) cheating.
Their Cheating Is Ruining My Marriage
And it’s not just me. My husband has some reservations too after he found out one of cheaters was the wife. But I’m the one who is walking on egg shells.
I can’t describe the feeling I get when my husband doesn’t answer my call. Or if he comes home later than he normally does and it’s only like 30 minutes not hours. Right away I get that awful thought…hold on to your knickers girl because you’re next.
What affected me more is seeing their pain. I never heard a woman cry so hard and hurt so much and I don’t think I can bare that kind of pain.
Calling On My Sisters
This post isn’t about giving advice it’s more about asking for advice. How do I get over the feeling that my marriage will suffer the same fate?
How can I go back the way things were and live my life as happy as I was before all that bad news? How can I stop from worrying because there might be one day I didn’t wash all the clothes or said “not tonight, I’ve got a headache” that my husband will stray?
I would really love any advice you have to share. Help me stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and go back to the way I was before…a real happy wife.
