[quote=Anonymous]So my ex-husband cheated on me like it was his job--and he was damn good at that job. It turns out that was never a moment in our 14 year marriage where he wasn't in some other relationship. In the last few years, after I had figured it all out but before I was willing to walk away, I engaged in every form of checking up on him that exists. Frankly, it was like it was MY job to keep track of him. And here's what I learned--it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. All the email snooping/phone bill checking/text reading in the world won't stop someone from doing what they want to do. It will, however, make you nuts. And it's exhausting and kind of soul killing.

So now I'm in a relationship and have been for about a year. He's an amazing man, totally the most honest and kind person I have ever known. I love him and I trust him. I have not lost either ability. And I don't engage in any of those checking-up skills that I unfortunately became so good at. But more importantly, I now trust myself--to make choices that are good for me and my kids and to believe in my own instincts. I cannot keep this man from doing anything he ultimately wants to do. But I can trust myself to do what's right for us if I have to. [/quote]
