Raising my hand. My ex was a "saint." Everyone said so, even me. Turns out he was just amazing at faking it.
When word got around about his cheating ways, one of his co-workers told another, "I guess Boy-Wonderful isn't as wonderful as we thought."
Unfortunately, he's still very handsome and charming and so it doesn't seem to matter to many women (including OW he left me for) to take him on his terms. I get upset and my IC has to remind me: you could have had him, too, if you were willing to share him. You divorced for a reason.

I was so sure that my X was my soulmate and would never cheat, then I did not see it when it was happening in my own house! Right in front of me! Plain as day!! Instead, I made excuses and thought I was crazy.
Even when I finally discovered them together, I could not believe it. I KNEW they were together in that bedroom and I had to gather my strength for at least 30 minutes before I was able to walk down the hall and turn the door nob.
So I completely understand that naivety. Up until the moment I actually saw it with my own eyes, I was in such complete denial that I would have sworn that X would never cheat on me.

So shake him off
