It’s hard to say this, but about seven years ago, I cheated on my girlfriend.

First off, I love everyone who follows me here. I thank you all for reading my travel tales, motivational pieces, and and life lessons. Normally they’re all pretty light and fun.

This one isn’t.

This is about a terrible decision I made three years ago, and what happened to my life afterwards.

This is one of those articles I really shouldn’t be writing because of what it could do to my “personal brand.”

But you know what? Fuck a personal brand.

This is who I am. This is a decision I made. If it stops one person from doing the same, my job is done.

Let’s read.

Meeting My Future Wife

Five years ago I started dating a girl from my college. She was beautiful and actually treated me well (unlike every other girlfriend I ever had).

After six months of dating with little to no arguments at all, I knew I was going to marry her. She was just a beautiful soul that was easy as hell to love.

Then I got an email.
