In just eight months, I completely destroyed my life. From the outside, my marriage looked like a sunny day at the beach. Behind closed doors where no one could see, a dark and treacherous storm was brewing. I was about to destroy everything I had spent years building.

In the end, these men didn’t save me, but the affairs did end up saving my marriage and making it stronger than it ever was before.This 13-month journey through the depths of relationship hell was worth it.
