What I Was Thinking - When I Cheated on My Husband

I wanted an escape. I wasn't happy with my life or the way I was being treated. I wanted out of my marriage with George. I never wanted to hurt him, but i was tired of being restricted. I didn't want to give up everything George had given me. I wanted something new, fun, and exciting. Tom gave me that. Tom treated me much better than George did. George was always trying to hide me in that small room above the shop. I felt like my precious life was being wasted away. It was unfair to me, i needed to get away.I wanted to be able to do what i wanted when i wanted. I wanted to be able party and live the life i never had.By law i was with George, but my heart was with Tom. Tom made me feel special, he promised me things, and i fell in love with the way he looked at me. I wanted to be free and Tom gave me that freedom. I knew what i was doing was wrong, but my happiness was most important. Tom had a lot of money, which is something George could never provide me with. The lavish life is always something i had wanted. I had settled for less with George and now i wanted something better. I had never been the type of girl to cheat, but i had no choice. I didn't love George like i used to. Maybe I married the wrong man. Was Tom supposed to be my soulmate?
