All of a sudden my world came crashing down with these four words, “I’m having an affair.” The room spun and I felt as though I couldn’t breathe. My name is Robin and I have been married for twenty years. I have a beautiful house in the suburbs of Long Island. I teach special education at the local school. My two boys, Logan and Patrick are in high school and extremely busy with sports. My husband Michael has his own pool business and works crazy hours, or at least that is what I thought. On the surface, things looked great. We were at all of our sons’ sports events, went out with friends, and vacationed as a family. We are a football and baseball family.
