On the stem of a rose
I relish in your pain
Desire it more and more

A saturated sponge
I cannot control myself
Flooding with emotion
I hurt everybody else

I am a body builder
But I've got no strength on my own
I tire just from living
With nothing in my bones

My body moves freely
I cannot control myself
This mind is not my own
I hurt everybody else

Who am I?

Hello Amicus

I could bestow all sorts of nasty things upon you. However you don't need that at this point in your life. What has transpired is not an easy thing to deal with. If I may make a few comments please.

First the cheating action is a two part thing yes. You did cheat on your wife but you also cheated on yourself. Now this is the biggest hurdle to get over.

Second if you want to rebuild the trust it will all come from your side. You need to be completely transparent in all you actions. Basically laying yourself on an emotional level naked before your wife. However its not that easy. She will come down on you like a ton of bricks from time to time. You will need to grin and bear it. Never retaliate at any point in time. Remember you are at fault.

Third you will need to put your wife first in everything in your life. She must come second to no one and nothing.

I see in you poem you say you cant control yourself. This could be a problem. You need to ask yourself if you are willing to give up you wife. Remember a man will never get a 100% woman. We usually get married to the lady that offers us the most known as the 80 / 20 theory. That means the lady we get married to gives us 80% of what we need and want. The other 20% we see in the other lady. So you need to be honest with yourself and when you can do that. You can be honest with your wife. So do you want the 80% or do you want to sacrifice that for the 20%? There is a lot more I could say. However that's enough to digest for now.

I want to say as well. Well done for owning up it takes a big man. I wish you and your wife all the best in fixing this problem. Thank you for sharing this poem. Big balls for going public. Blessing

Greetings
Rus
