This can't be true!" she cried, violently wiping away her tears.She didn't want what happened, and it wasn't her intention to do something like that.She wasn't a bad person, and she would never hurt anyone on purpose."I'm not at fault! I'm not at fault!" she exclaimed repeatedly.They forced me to do it! They made me a horrible person!She was not guilty, that's for sure. She was a good person that's why the people around her thought it was okay to hurt her. They thought they could get away with it because she would simply forgive them for their mistakes.

SHE hoped it was all a misunderstanding. Maybe she misinterpreted it. But no matter how many times she read it, it was crystal clear to her. However, she still found it difficult to believe the said message.She wasn't being in denial. She knew her husband far too well to believe he would do such a thing. Not only that, but she never had the impression that he was doing anything inappropriate behind her back. She has a woman's instinct, so she would notice if anything wasn't quite right. Her husband was just too in love with her to even think about cheating. He would never do anything to ruin their marriage … their family.Many people were envious of them; thus the text message could have been made up.
