For many people, cheating is a big problem in a relationship. It’s hard to imagine your partner being with someone else. But some couples decide to work things out.
Matt and Charity Craig had been married for 20 years when Matt cheated. Despite the hurt, Charity chose to stay with him. She believed their life together was worth saving. It wasn’t easy, but it led to something good: Charity became a relationship coach to help other women in similar situations.
Matt and Charity met when he was 13 and she was in college. They started dating when Matt turned 18 and invited Charity to his birthday party.
They dated for three years and got married in 2004. They had four kids quickly. Their marriage was tough for a while, but things got better when Matt got a stable job.
Charity thought things were improving, but Matt was still stressed. She didn’t realize how bad things were.
“He kept saying he needed to leave, but I didn’t listen,” Charity said. “I didn’t realize how bad things were.”
Then, Matt started flirting with another woman, and it got serious.
“I messed up,” he said. “Once you cheat, you feel like you can’t be a good husband anymore, so you leave.”
