Feel His Lies Deeply

"He slept with my cousin, just thinking about it turns me off."

"I feel dirty lying next to her, I take a half-hour shower every time I touch her."

"She's as boring as a dead fish. I wish she were as lively and cheerful as you."

"Look at her, doesn't she look like a lunatic?"

The video showed me throwing things around during a manic episode, sitting on the floor and crying.

These were the messages my husband sent to his first love, filled with mockery and disdain for me. After a brief period of anger, I calmed down and saved evidence of his infidelity, then drafted divorce papers.
