For those of you who have been through this can you relate to any of this?

I met my ex, and knew she has trauma and issues, I knew it was work, and had other better option with more healthy and good people, but the fact that she was messed up in her head and me feeling like a savior made things so exciting. (Captain save a hoe) it gave me purpose and felt I was building something and helping her (maybe that's codependency) at the end of the end, she cheated on me.

Why? because I wasn't giving her validation! I was mean to her and took a step backward to focus on myself and process our issues. instead of doing the same thing, she decided to go to a friend and sleep with him to deal with it!

Divorce was over last year and I moved on but I reflect on things like this! why are we men so attracted to those broken women and try to understand them and fix them?

Also, I think women don't cheat for pleasure like men do but to get external validation. someone to tell them they are right when their husbands say they are wrong!

I am back in the dating pool, and I can tell you guys the pool is full of piss
