I am a 27-year-old woman who just got a divorce with my husband of six months. We had an akht but then he had to sort out paperwork in Canada so we never really lived together. We got divorced because I cheated on him and he told both our families about it. I was and am devastated – not because I loved my husband or that I got a divorce but because of how I have let down my family and everyone I care about. The man I cheated on him with was supposed to marry me but he left me in the middle of nowhere with no explanation. I feel destroyed and I don’t know how to get over it. What should I do now?
Maybe, just maybe, you were not supposed to be married to either of them. If you were interested in your husband, you would not have cheated on him, it was a lesson and learning in disguise - you were not ready to get married. As for your parents, they should be happy you did not stay in a marriage that would not have worked out; just imagine if you had children and got locked up in a bad marriage! Now wait a little while before you think of getting into another relationship; ask yourself what and who do you really want.
