I did all that and didn't even cheat! Bought CDs I wanted for a long time but never got around to it. Lost weight, dyed my hair, gave up coffee. Worked a lot of OT for comp time that DH has no way of tracking anyway. |
I got so tired of bumping into "DS" and not following who cheated on whom that I gave up pretty quickly LOL |
Maybe we can get a few posters who, instead of relating their own experiences with infidelity, tell a famous story as though it was their own. |

Cheated on but caught them red handed.
Came home around 10pm when I was supposed to be back the next afternoon. Saw a strange vehicle parked in front of our house. Walked around back, looked through the window and saw her in another man's lap kissing and dry humping him. |
When's your parole hearing? I know at the very least you got arrested for assault...hopefully no full-fledged murder charge. |
You don't know what happened, but why the heck do people do this in their own homes. Nosy neighbors, or who knows who comes home. |

I do not leave my dear spouse because I love them with all my heart, honestly. We met and fell in love when we were young and had nothing, then built a happy, successful, and rich life together. We have a big family and several decades of love, shared experiences, friends, memories, passion, and happiness together.
Why would I willingly or easily surrender all of that to an AP who may in no small part be attracted to my spouse for their name (well known in their profession), connections, and wealth? ( My spouse has already admitted to working to advance AP's career, and AP has requested their advice and help.) I will fight for my spouse, and our children's parent with all my heart and every ounce of strength I have because I really love them. |
I am not against staying but your last paragraph shows you are going to fail in your attempt to "fix this". You are blaming yourself and your actions. You list all the things you will do to "fix it". But you are not the person that can fix it. Because the "it" that needs to be fixed is your H and he needs to fix himself. Here is the paragraph... it's sad and pathetic because I think a therapist is probably walking you down a very bad path. , I now work on our marriage every day, I communicate more verbally and physically, I am kinder and nicer, and I never take anything for granted. I also promised myself and DS that I never tell our children about the infidelity. I understand that DS needs to grieve the loss of this affair. At the same time I am nervous because DS and their AP are scheduled to be at two upcoming conferences. But I will trust my spouse, because no marriage can grow stronger with suspicion or jealousy. |
| PP! You need to travel with your DH to those conferences.... |
You are terrible. Sorry, but 4 lids and you did not even try? She clearly loved you. What a douchbag. |

When I was in college my mom told me about what my father did. It was her weird way of giving me some sort of coming of age lesson since I had started dating my first love. My father had been dead for several years at that time, so I was irritated that I could not confront him about it. My mother said that she then had a retaliatory affair, then abortion, and regretted it. I think it gave me a jaded (perhaps necessary reality call?) view of life, humans and trust. But I am 10 + years into my marriage, so I am not that jaded. |
cheaters hang around other cheaters. remember that. |
A wife is not an other women. The cheater co worker is the other woman. |
| DS means son. |
