These cheating stories are proof of why cheating is never a good option if people are no longer happy with a partner or if the relationship isn't working anymore. The traumatic experiences it creates can take years to heal, especially if children are involved.

It is better to go your separate ways with a peaceful mind and heart, knowing that both of you have settled things the right way. Indeed, honesty is still the best policy.

Some betrayals leave a mark that does not fade quickly.
