i am sorry

Quote From: chattygirl

That's a tough one.  How long were you married to this man and are there any children? 

  

My husband and I are in a rut, after 19 years, I believe he's been faithful, but am not dumb enough to be surprised if he wasn't.  I have totally been faithful.  In body, that is.  Because even thinking about sleeping with someone else is infidelity. 

  

Of course you would have a hard time thinking about him being with someone else, that would be my biggest problem also. 

  

It takes a strong, big hearted woman to take someone back who has done this.  I truly believe people can make a mistake and feel horrid about it and can change.  This call his yours, you have to live with him and if choose so, forgive him, even though you'll have that picture in your mind. 

  

You obviously love him or you wouldn't have asked for help.  I believe if he's worthy of you, then he should do anything you request of him to save you marriage.  Counseling for what he did, and counseling for what you're dealing with.  

That's only what I would do, and I'm real big on faithfulness.  We are mere mortals and a sin is a sin.  We all deserve forgiveness.  If it was only once. 

  

I would also begin really ramping up my looks, whatever you have to work with, a new outfit or two.  Confidence in yourself, don't let him think he's broken you for good.  Rekindle, and no game playing. 

  

I so wish you luck.  My previous went out on me, I did nothing and  I was miserable, I took on all the blame.  The divorce ripped up my self esteem, but I learned. 

  

Final note, have yourself tested for any STD's before getting in the sheets again.  
Best wished on your ordeal  and I hope all turns out o.k. 

that would be a hard decision to make.   part of you probably wants to give him another chance cause you love him and part wants to walk away.  does the other lady he had sexual relationships with, contact him in any way or he her?   myself i would walk away i think out of hurt.  but perhaps if tey no longer see each other, it was just a flng and he did not do it cause he loved her or found her attractive.  i would sau pray to God  to see where he gides your heart.  good luck and i will be praying for you

  We just had our 3 year anniversary . We have been together for almost 6 years. We have been through so much and are still dealing with his daughters step father molesting her. We have been in and out of court for over a year and a half now. But thats another story. He seems very sorry for it, he said he stopped in the middle of it and told the woman he had to go. I have been tested and all is clear so far. I do love him with everything I am. Our sex life has been really good since , well after the first time I started crying the first time we did after I found out. I am going to start back seeing my counsler and I think I have him talked into going, before all this he was completly against going. I guess it makes me feel better knowing it was a one time thing and not an on going affair or an emotional one. Thanks, again

This decision is yours and yours alone.   First thing to do is get some counseling for yourself...  Build your self esteem up.  Then get some counseling for the 2 of you.  If you decide you want to stay with this man, then you must forgive him.  No one evers says you must forget, but you must forgive.  It takes a really strong person to have to deal with what you currently have on your plate.  Stay strong and be true to yourself.  You are not the cause of his mistake.  Not matter what he tells you!!   

  

Sometimes people can make a mistake and move forward in their lives to never do it again.  If he truly is remorseful and wants to stay in this marriage then he will do almost anything within reason to help save this marriage.  READ Dr Phils book "RELATIONSHIP RESCUE".  It was so helpful to me several years ago.  The foundation for a marriage is TRUST, and that has been broken.  At this point it looks like it can be fixed.  He will have to earn that back from you.  He has to understand that and he has to understand this will all take some time.  Find out what is really bothering him, he is feeling too old, is he still immature, did he come from a broken home,etc... etc....  This might help you to understand better his behavior that was unacceptable.  It doesnt excuse the behaviour! 

  

My prayers are with you during this troubling time.  Listen to the last email and get tested for any diseases.  It will hopefully put your mind at ease.  It's not an easy road you are traveling right now but you can make it through this not matter what the final outcome.  You are strong and confident and you need to TAKE CARE OF YOU!   

Been there, done that and it wasnt fun!

Every marriage gets into a rut at times. You have to make it exciting sometimes. Make him his favorite dinner, candle lite and when it's time for bed, put on that outfit you would never wear outside the bedroom. (surprise him with the hooker look).  Also, If you really Love your husband and want the marriage to work, you have to forgive him,and don't bring it up again, and move on to make  your marriage happy and exciting.  If your always going to have it your mind or bring the past up, you should just call it quits because your just wasting your engery on being mad, you can use that engery on thinking of ways to make it happier.  Now, if he does it again, or starts drinking say good bye, because your not getting any younger  

   

Take care.
