Just last week, a friend of mine, “Becky,” received an email from the “other woman.” Granted, when this woman (“June”) became part of the picture, Becky and her husband, “George” were in the midst of a horrible marriage.
He was addicted to prescription pain medications and he had all the personality traits and behaviour of an addict—explosive outbursts, blaming, sorrow, stealing money, hiding, lying, and more.
Becky and George had two young daughters and their relationship was toxic for everyone. Becky was going to file for divorce and she was getting all of her ducks in a row so she could kick George out of the house soon.
She was saving money, had selected an attorney after interviewing several, she had her “single mom’s budget” carefully figured out, and she was getting emotionally prepared.
It turns out there’s science behind why we cheat. Post continues below…
And then Becky found out that George had a profile on a dating website. That was the final straw. Becky moved out of their home, taking the two children with her.

Reading stuff like this just makes me appreciate my lifetime partner even more. Who the hell does this sort of shit?
No. Abusive behaviour is not 'karma' and not deserved.
Also, it is the husband is the one who had an investment and a commitment to honour in his relationship.
