He had been going out with his friends more and more on the weekends, and it had become a problem, but I didn't think that me not liking that would trigger him to leave so suddenly. Then as time went on, I found out a lot of things that I had never known, but everybody else did, of course. My husband was really into weightlifting and he always promised me that he never did steroids, and that his physique was all natural. I always trusted him and would never ever think otherwise, even though I did realize his obsession with his size.

Well, I found out that he had been shooting up steroids 6 months prior to leaving me. He gained so much size that when he went out with his friends, he got so much "respect" from all the guys and all the attention from the girls. He began to develop an "invincible" attitude that he was 'the man' and everybody feared him and every woman wanted him. It got to his head "big time," to the point where all this attention was more important then enjoying and taking care of his wife and 2 little daughters. The attention from all these women and the fear and respect from all these men that were at the clubs was worth leaving the 3 people who had loved him most. One day he will have to live with the critical decision he made, and when he looks back I wonder if he'll have any regrets.
