      Because they are lacking something(s) within themselves. Even happily married people cheat (read that in an article once). I was cheated on and it took me a very long time to realize that, even though I have contributed to the decline in the relationship (always recognize your part in something), when it was all said and done, he was still deeply unhappy. At the end of the day, it wasn't about me but I'm making sure that his cheating was the best thing that ever happened to me because it forced me to be the woman I was always meant to be.

    I’m 70 years old and divorced from a cheater. It’s been 24 years since our breakup and I’m so glad to be free of him. It was hard in the beginning. I questioned my self worth and whether I deserved happiness. My faith in God and my family’s love have been my strength and solace. As a mother of 4 daughters, I can attest to the fact that believing in yourself and taking the high road will give you a peace unlike any other. Kristin and Roam will be so much better as a pair than they ever were with her ex. When he is my age, he will see the error of his ways. It happened to my ex and I’ve seen it happen over and over again. He was the weak one who didn’t stand by his family and took the easy way out. Shame on him. He doesn’t deserve Kristin or Roam. Best of luck to you all! Much love!

    I was cheated on my my ex-wife - it came as a sickening shock...

And at the end when I had come to a place of real peace with myself I met the love of my life.. -- I loved this post mostly because rather oddly it is nice to see someone else growing, healing, and welcoming what comes next - I think it was Lilly Tomlin who said "Forgiveness is giving up all hope of a better past" and I was reminded of this when your friend talked about how for her revenge was not wanting/needing revenge - She is a strong woman and all will be well I am sure - but I will light a candle for her not because she is in trouble but because she is clearly on a path of growth which is always a blessing..

      I love the quote! I was liberated from resentment the day I realized that refusing to forgive was basically just me metaphorically picking the scab; _I_ was the one suffering, _I_ was the one becoming disfigured. Forgiving was just the process of letting go of being the victim (and I don't mean "playing victim;" I've never gotten juiced from that kind of attention. It was about fear and distrust and loss of belief in my ability to discern.) Forgiving is an act of self-love.

In the process of our divorce he got another woman pregnant and she had a little girl he didnt stay for her either but strangely her and i set aside those hurt feelings and ended up raising our kids together today she is my best friend and i count her as being one of the best things that have happened in my life we have a beautiful family sadly i live in texas now and her in south carolina but we talk everyday and still very involved in each others life. sometimes its healing to just live and let live.

Had they been hurt in an accident? I’m so happy to see the girls again, and how they’ve grown through this tragedy. What a kick in the gut, followed by a lot of healing for Kristin. Roam is growing into such a beautiful little lady!!! Kristin is an absolutely incredible mamma, and I’m glad she got the support she needs. What an inspiration! My ex husband did the same thing to me 40 years ago, right after I gave birth to my sweet boy, and the other day it hit me again, the wave of despair I felt when I found out.

It was so difficult to come to terms with not having our family anymore that I stayed and tried to save our family. I needed so much proof. It’s sad that I needed to be mistreated longer in order to come to terms with the person he just is. There’s nothing I can do. My emotions are just the way you explained yours. I haven’t grasped that life will be better, yet but I know I will get there as you did.

    My ex-husband cheated on me and broke my heart... I learned that the best "revenge" is for your exes to see you THRIVE withOUT them. For you to live your best life and not give them the time of day. I hate that this happened to her, but I LOVE the message that she has.

    My story started when I was in kindergarten. My parents split and divorced because my dad cheated on my mom. Of course, I was young and never knew any better or what it meant. All I knew was my mom and dad would fight alot. He was very abusive to her. My Mom would drive me and my brother all over town in the car looking for him and she usually found him at the bar. It happened many times. After they split, another woman came into my life. I didn't like her. I didn't like it when she kissed my dad or touched him. I was a little girl like Roamie watching someone do those things that my mom was spose to do with my dad. So, I told her one day, "You're not my mommy! I'm not listening to you. I don't like you." For the next 17 years or so, that was our kind of relationship. We never got along.
    As time passed, I barely saw my dad during visitation because he wasn't around much and he would pawn me off onto her or my grandparents and end up at the bar all night. Sometimes he never came to pick me up at all from my mom's. He might call, might not. So many empty promises and alot of tears. Ultimately I became depressed. Just a sad child. Very isolated and lonely. I resented him and my mom, as well as, the other chick.
    During all of this, I was experiencing something else that was even more traumatizing. I was being abused by a relative sexually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. No, it was not my dad. I was so traumatized that One day I tried to kill myself bc I just wanted to die. I wanted it all to end, but nobody would listen to me. They didn't believe me. In fact, I was actually blamed. So I intentionally missed my school bus one day and stayed after school and wrote my teacher a letter. She must've found it after I left. My bus driver noticed I didn't get on for the day and came back for me and took me home. The next day, my mom got a call and I was sent to a hospital. I was away from my family and friends for quite some time. It was a bad ordeal.
    I'm 41 years old now, but thinking about it today, it's still very raw and emotional. It changed my life a lot in many ways. I'd never wish my nightmare on anybody.
    After graduating high school, I started dating. I didn't know what to do because I had never had a boyfriend. When I met my son's dad, I clunge to him for dear life. Idk why. We were off n' on for 5 yrs until we split because he cheated on me, too. One of the girls happened to be a friend of mine from school. I've been single for almost 14 yrs now. I've never been married, but I do have a son who is 17 years old now. He is my only child.
    As the years passed by, I have gradually healed, but I deal with PTSD and anxiety. I still have triggers. There will always be wounds with scabs that peel off easily and bleed sometimes, but for the most part, I manage it.
    Update:
    As for both of my parents, they remarried, but Dad's 2nd marriage ended in divorce because once again he cheated on THAT woman. My stepdad died of cancer in 2014. Both of my parents were married to their spouses for 20 years.
    So yes, this story hit me hard...extremely hard, because I have been there. Trust me, I know. Please protect you and Roamie from this nightmare. I would never want anyone to hurt her. Will should have known better. He's spose to protect his daughter from guys like him. I guess, that's where MamaBear comes in and saves the day. I love you all, greatly. Miss you so much. Hugs.

Especially other victims that have similar stories. We've all been thru similar experiences even if they arent exact. Listen we must not let this kill us. We must not let this ruin the best parts of us. Instead we must use these moments to guide in the right direction so that we can learn and find ways to help others. I find that by helping others, it helps me, and it will help you too. So never give up, utilize what God gave you. Dont give it away because its yours, it belongs to you, and nobody can take that from ya.@@MillennialMountainMama

My ex wife left me 3 times before I as a Christian man threw in the towel. If anyone reads this, tell her to take her time, and work on herself and the little one. I wish i could find the book that helped me, but she will move on. Just have to learn to watch for the red flags when she gets comfortable to have a relationship. It will hurt from time to time like she has had, even years afterwards there will be triggers and have a support network. Tell keep her chin up and keep on keeping on.

I’m glad you mentioned that because I don’t think it’s an expected feeling at all. I eventually divorced but took 15 years to do it and part of me died in that 15 years. It took 10 more to find life again.

Let Him be your guide in ALL things and you'll never go wrong. It's so beautiful to hear you calling on God to help you through the hard times rather than blaming God for the hard times.

    Thank you for this vid. I had a very strong and emotional reaction to this one. I lost the best, most intimate relationship I've ever been a part of at the start of the virus years and I think now, because of the isolation I became lost in the grief. Since then I've retired and moved into a camper van to travel about with my little sled dog for a couple years or more. This totally different lifestyle has let me revisit my grief on both a deeper level, and to let go also on a much deeper level. Having good support is something that we can not use because we try to deny our need for it. My judgmentalism thinks I should not "have to" grieve or let go of the past and the hurt in favor of allowing myself to live in all the great memories of that period of my life. There's lots of healing out in the world, as if the world is conspiring to help us have a chance to experience the bounty of this world and its people!! Thanks for the slightly different perspective! I love you guys for all you give and all you do, as you live your best life together! Thanks to your friends for sharing their growth, and their joy! I know that today, I was finally able to see the whole thing at one time from beginning to end and really enjoy it. I know today will be a great day to be appreciated and not ignored! ❤

    Being cheated is like stepping in something that you can't get off of you and you can't stop thinking about it in the beginning! Time heals it, but you never forget that feeling and it kind of numbs you! Both of my marriages ending because of it, I'm in my late 40's now and have pretty much giving up!

    You know its weird .... You follow Couple's builds, to the point you feel a certain closeness to them. Its like a TV show that you can't wait for the next weeks episode! Sometimes there's even a Climactic moment, when the Comment You Posts, gets a personal and sentimental reply from them. But..... Then everything goes Silent, a long pause, then total Absences .....And You're left wondering, What Happened!? I can tell You what Happened, LIFE happened. I now Know of 4 Beautiful Couples that (I Followed,) that have split since starting their Bus builds. Good Luck to all of You. and may you find Peace and Happiness in the rest of Your Journey, God Bless

      I know Kristin was really sad she never got the chance to say bye on their old channel. It was deleted before she could. We figured this was the next best thing as we had a big crossover in audience, and maybe one day in the future she'll start a new channel so whoever wants to can continue to follow along. Thank you for your kind words!

    Wonderful words you have shared. I have been single for thirty years now and the lessons for my daughters (who were 18 and 20 at the time) were the most important to me. Your daughter is blessed to have a joyful mother on this journey.

    I LOVE YOU KRISTEN! I (Lana) did some research after wondering where you went awhile back and found your story by a friend on tic toc. I was shocked. I was mad. I felt for you... I did feel like in the last few videos he seemed kind of distant. What a dip s***. I stayed with my ex way too long, and I give you props for walking away because it is so hard. I finally found my happiness after leaving that bad marriage. So glad to see you and Rome doing well 😊 Much love from a fellow bus lifer ❤

    This was absolutely beautiful, I’ve been following Kristen on IG, so I knew why they left UA-cam but I hadn’t heard the full story like this. I’m so proud of her and little Roam, she is definitely a strong woman and her daughter is going to grow up to be a strong woman also❤️❤️. I cried like a baby through this whole video….happy tears☺️

    I could sit down with you both and talk for hours! I’m divorced since 06 and if I teach my kids anything I hope it’s independence . The best revenge is not needing them-in any way! I’m 53 and still learning-my story is a bit different because I have 3 kids and none of them are typical. Looooong story. But great vid!

    Thank you for sharing your story. I've been divorced since 2013, and while I did try to move on, I haven't really been able to open myself up to new people. I kinda blocked everyone out, except my kids cause I felt it would be easier then getting hurt again. This made me realize maybe I don't have to lone wolf it anymore. I've been alone a long time and I don't know where to even start but I'm not closed to the idea of letting someone in anymore.

    Kels ❤ Thank for what you did for Kristan, I knew something was wrong when they disappeared and I missed them, I had been following them for years and something just kept nagging at me, I searched instagram and UA-cam for a sign of them, I’m truly sorry this happened to her. It similar to my story and I went through all the emotions that Kristan spoke about and chose forgiveness and moving on with my life, my story happened in 1998 and took me over a year to find out the truth also, I’ve been divorced for 23 years life got better over the years because like Kristen I had Jesus Christ.

    I’m so sorry you had to go through that but you’re stronger because of it. Speaking from experience, I believe the worst part is the self-doubt. That’s something hard to deal with. It’s great to see you’ve come out on the other side!!

    This video touched my heart so much. I was married for 15 years to my (now adult daughters) father. He cheated & when I found out, my life felt like it ended. I’ve now been married to the most AMAZING man for 15 years. We have a beautiful blended family, my 2 bio daughters & his 2 sons & daughter.
    We have 9 BEAUTIFUL grandchildren & we are all beyond Blessed.
    Such an inspiring story. May the Lord continue to Bless her & her sweet daughter
