I never suspected infidelity; you most likely saw no signs either. Now those signs are embedded in my brain, since the affair hurt so bad. Unfortunately, I know the steps to take when cheated on. Hopefully, I will never use them.

For all of you out there who are wondering what to do if hurt by infidelity, I'm going to give you the advice that I have gathered during my ordeal. This advice comes from a number of wonderful aunties, grandmas, sister, and friends. It turns out, many of us have been hurt by an affair.

Grandma told me that it was so common way back when, that a spouse would roam. No one spoke of it, she told me. People didn't go to psychiatrists like they do today. She said that the best cure for the pain was to spend time alone, wrapped in something you love to do, like knitting or painting or gardening. In that alone time she said your soul comes to terms with the hurt and it starts to go away.

My Aunties, who grew up in a time that considered psychology very \"hip\", all suggested that the best way to recover was to find a good therapist and talk about it. One of my Uncles chimed in with \"yes, you have to resolve the issues internally\".

My sister, always the down to earth realist gave me lots of advice on how to rid myself of the \"problem\", as she called my spouse. She also advised me to scream and hit a pillow and \"let it all out\". She repeatedly told me that if I didn't let it out my insides would suffer.

From friends I got the most imaginative, outlandish advice and the soundest. One suggested moving to a French villa. Another reminded me it was not my fault, but my husbandas own issues. I was still beautiful and worth a lot more.

After hearing my friends advice, I planted myself in front of a mirror and examined me. I was worthy, beautiful, but full of pain. I knew then that I was the only one who could free me of that pain and hurt.

In the end, I accepted all the advice. I enjoyed time by myself, occasionally beating up soft objects, yelling, and even talked to a professional. In addition, I always remember to look at myself in the mirror and admire myself.
