I fell madly in love with "Joe" when I lived in VA. The "head over heels" type of love. Everything was going fine...until I found out he was engaged to a woman "back home" in Iowa. Feeling betrayed and crushed, I had two options: continue seeing him and hope he'd break his engagement, or move on.
I moved on. I realized that if he was cheating on his fiancee with me, what would stop him from doing the same thing to me? Sigh.
This proved to be the best decision I have made in my life. My roommate dragged me to a dance at an nearby army post, and I met my husband! Although wary of what I was being told, once he took me to meet his parents, I knew he was honest and trustworthy.
My "real" love and I have been married almost 45 years...and no more broken heart for me!
In my story, Operation Man Hunt...in the Romance Books '4' Us published anthology, ENTICE ME - LUSCIOUS LOVE STORIES, my heroine is nudged back into the dating world after suffering through a broken heart. The hero entices her into her world as she entices him into hers. Once they settle some differences and share a common goal of honesty in their relationship, love blossoms for that "happily-ever-after".

I was meant to be!
What a wonderful love story between you and your husband.
I hated men like that..."It's not cheating if she's not here". Phew... you escaped a huge heartbreak! Glad you found your own happily ever after!
