"He would look me right in the eyes... and convince me I was wrong. He made me feel paranoid.

"I remember that feeling of elation when I found out [he was having an affair].. I went 'Yes! I knew it...'

"It was a feeling of euphoria before the absolute devastation hit me – he still convinced me to stay."
