Public Service Announcement (PSA):

Do not send your cheater a list of reasons you want to remain married to them!

Yes, I learned this one the hard way. Such a list only invites entitled contempt from the cheater.

The last thing a cheater needs is someone stroking their ego. They already think they are awesome–even though, they are not.

So, do not write or send such a list to them!

Your energies are better spent writing a list of reasons that they stink. The start of this list ought to be their cheating and lying.

Remind yourself how selfish this person is. That is reality.

It is best to face reality and not see the cheater as if he or she is worthy of our love. They are not. A person worthy of our love would not have cheated and thereby abused us.
