My Sweet, Sweet Husband

Cheaters and Liars

If I am to be honest, I have been a cheater and a liar before. In fact, I had an affair during my first marriage which ultimately ended the relationship. Once trust is broken, it’s incredibly difficult to get it back. Of course, no one cares about how the cheater feels, they cheated. They deserve
