That engraving should have been your first clue that it wouldn't be
forever, probably less than a month she'd spread her legs in the back
seat of her bosses car.

Had nothing to do with living with you for nine years, cheaters don't
keep track of time... she very likely cheated on all the men she
cheated with.

She did you a huge favor, you were much better off without the
cheater, odds are she was cheating long before you found out, probably
within a month of your marriage to her. It's a lot easier for women
to cheat than for men... women who marry young are very likely to
cheat because they soon feel they missed out on variety and
opportunities.
