Dustin, you are not alone. My first wife left me for a woman after 2.5 years of marriage. She left me around the same time my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I’ll be the first to admit our marriage was anything but good and she brought out the worst aspects of who I am.

The whole ordeal was painful, but I can say that I wouldn’t be who I am today had that experience not happened.

Today I am married to the best woman I’ve ever known and sincerely look forward to all the ups and downs life will bring our way. Knowing that standing beside me is someone that loves me, with all my faults and finery, she’s there.
