Question

  Posted to group - What do i do now    <<Previous    Next>>

I DONT KNOW WHAT DO, NEED SOME ADVICE

I found out my husband after 23 years of marraige was having an affair with a co-worker, it went on from nov 06 to aug of 07 until I found out , i found out by looking online at his cell phone records. he denied at first and made me figure it out who it was, i made a poster board on every month and how many times the calls were made on both ends ,,,and ya know it was shocking it went on from 5 am when he left for work till 9p at night each day for 10 months straight and it was between 10 to 25 times a day .
well when he was caught all he said was it was onlly phone calls , well than i played her and told her that he told me every thing and she admitted they went out for drinks several times,, i feel he slept with her just by the way i ask him. now that hes caught he seems to love me soooo much and does not want to leave and he wants to work things out but , i still think about it , I hate him for making me feel this way , I hate him for making me watch everything he does, I hate the fact that he has changed me, I am so different now  I wont put up with any of nonsence he wont even fight with me becaue he knows I will go off on him , I love him and dont want to leave but how do i over come part of the hate i have for him , for doing this to me. were trying to work it out but I still want to know if he slept with her , everyone is telling me to forget about it and move on, but how can you if it eats you up inside, i just feel he got away with it and there were no consiquences for him because after the talk we are trying to work it out but ..thats it BUT..i am confussed ..but i must admit he was treating me and our kids like shit when this was going on but now that he was caught he seems to be so wonderful what do i do ,,,theres more to this but i will not keep you any longer thanks...................

thank you guys ......if theres any way you can still suggest to me i would like that .....
you know I also didnt add to my story is that at the beginning of his relationship around dec or jan i found 2 hotel cards in his visor of hotels that are on her side of the neiborhood and that was at the beginning so I can only imagine how many times he slept with her well i know its been at least twice.
you see i read stories about woman who forgave to just find out that he was still doing it with the same woman how can i trust him and think that hes staying away from her ...ya know i dont and if he still denies sleeping with her even though his face and hotel cards tell me different ...hhow do i know he is not just staying with me till my daughter is 18 which is in 4 yrs what make me think that hes not still doing it when he continues to lie ,,,i dont think we can move on with out the truth coming out .....just thinking that he was sleeping with both of us at the same time  ehhh    how dare him ,,,,he makes it seem like well i am still here i didnt leave because i love yyou...like that justifys everything .*******..question to men out there if you have a sexual relationship with a woman and massive phone calls for about a year...and your wife finds out is it that easy to just never talk and walk away from that relationship with the other woman ..and the other woman know me and knows i know about them ...can i think he just walked away from that or is he still talking to her

I wish there was an easy answer to that...but there isnt. Once trust is broken, man it takes a long time to get back. Ive had similar experiences when it came to trust issues and it ate me alive. Time does make things better but I can relate on the "hating him for changing me" theory. Its true. You start second guessing everything they say and you're always looking to catch them in a lie. So, I guess I really dont have an answer for this one, just a "I can so relate" to your post. I hope he doesnt do it to you again. You never know, if they do it once and get away with it, will they do it again???

Sorry to hear about what happened to you Distrout40... It is difficult to get to trust back again... when something like that happens... I completelly understand your anger and feelings... but after so many months... it is time for healing... you need to set a timeframe... one, two, three months... that you will ask your husband about his affair... and he has to tell you the truth... after that set period of time... no more rubbing back or self-flagelation about what happened... that is of course if you want to forgive him and you are able to do so... ask him if he is sincere... and let him talk about why he did it ... and what has changed now that he will not do it again. If you need it... and I think you may... go to counselling... first on your own... each of you... and then, when you are ready, as a couple... I wish you good luck.

I completely feel what you are going through, and I am sorry for the pain this is causing. I went through this with my husband of 10 years. I finally decided that a marriage with no trust and being treated like crap wasn't worth my children's happiness and my happiness. So I asked him for a divorce and am in the procees now after 2 yrs of separation...By the way when he left, guess where he moved to..his girlfriend's, and he is still with her. after many years wondering who he was on the phone with, why go out so often, where was he going to and with who? all that was not worth it...It is hard living on my own with 2 kids but at least I am more sure of myself now and we are all happier...I am only telling you of my experience, but that is not cause for you to do anything drastic in your life, every relationship is different, and every person's strength is handled differently. You never know, by trying to work things out it might work but like I said. you are the only one who knows how much you can handle in your life and your relationship. If you ever need to talk.don't hesitate to send me a message. Be strong and follow your heart!
