    Hi all.. including my husband. Its been years since I written this post and so much has happened since. I am happy to report that me and my husband made it through this horrific ordeal and came out swinging. In addition, we have a beautiful baby boy that truly completes us. After this, I'm amazed of the person I have become... I'm stronger than before. I've accepted the time if grieving and allowed myself to work slowly back into this relationship.It was indeed hard and many nights of tears and sheer disgust when I looked at the man I loved. But only time healed the pain. I thought to myself one day that either I let it go or let him go... I had to make that choice. And I am confident to say I've made the right choice. However, my relationship would never be the same as before, because I will always remain guarded. My new found love with my husband involves respect and caring for one another. I love my husband, ive always loved him and he deserved another chance. Anything is possible if you allowed yourself a chance for happiness. Thank you alex for being a wonderful father and husband.I love you

    It's very painful when being cheated on by someone we dearly love, especially if we've spent almost half of our life loving that person. But if I understand clearly, your husband has cheated once and only once, and since then he's been trying to make up for what he's done. I understand the trust you have for him can never be the same as it was before anymore and that is the price he would have to pay for the rest of his life. But at the same time I believe he deserves a second chance. At least due to the fact that he is the man you have loved for 13 years, he was there through thick and thin, made you happy and grateful for having him in your life. He just happened to let lust control him at some point, and hurt the most important person in his life. We all make mistakes, the difference is in how we deal with it. My advice is, why don't you take time to think deeply about what you really want in your life...how do you see yourself in future...? I personally think he should be given a second chance, but this time be very careful and if he manages to proof himself as a man and a husband, you should also try to slowly forgive him. At the same time you are giving yourself another chance too, to be happy. Sometimes, these are the things that make the relationship grows stronger than ever. 13years of love without being tried, God has finally tested how much you both love each other. I wish for the best to you and your husband. Many many many blissful years ahead. :)

    Guess what i have heard 80% of men cheat. So get rid of him and you could have one that is a worse kind of cheater. He very much loves you I know that. My husband cheated on me for years and then quit. I never confronted him about it. Now your hubby has learned how bad the cheating can be and how out of control it can get. The women that cheated with him taught him a lesson as well. He couldn't control what she said. Men's hormones are very hard to control. Do try to make up and please try to for give him.

    First I think that each of you should go see a marriage counselor seperately. This way you can talk about everything. And then whenever the counselor wants to. Bring you both in together to go over various things. When someone cheats it hurts so much that you can't imagine. And its hard to get over and sometimes even harder to forgive. I've had to deal with 2 cheating ex's. It was just aweful. The 2nd one I told him up front that I wanted him to always be honest with me. Even if there was a time that he felt that he might stray and we would talk about what was going on. Instead he decided not to tell me and I found out that he was in love with an ex of his. He was emailing her and she was just lieing to him just to get some attention. I got her email address and emailed her myself. She was pregnant with another man's child and she herself was married. She told me that she wasn't serious about loving him, my ex. But when I kicked him out. He had this woman's address and showed up at her door. The husband wasn't to happy. But they let him live with them for a week or two and then he came crawling back to me. I gave him another chance and he messed it up again. By talking with women online and telling him that he loved them and bought a cellphone to talk to them. which I found and distroyed.



    So get some counseling. If that doesn't help. Then it time for you two to go your seperate ways.

    Hi, I'm the cheater my wife is talking about above. Everything she said is true except it sounds like there were two women instead of one. I freely admit I screwed up and I have told my wife time and time again that I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her. I am not proud of what I have done and I can honestly say that it was my first and last time cheating. My wife has been my best friend for the past 13 years. Although everyday is a struggle, I don't want to give up on my marriage. I always remember the reason we fell in love in the first place. My wife wants to constantly leave, but everyday I try my hardest to show her that I love her, that I made the biggest mistake of my life but at the same time I can't stop her if I don't make her happy anymore. All I want is one chance and one chance only. I truly love my wife and I don't regret coming clean to her even though it's been tough on us. It's going to take a long time for her to ever trust me again, but I'm okay with that because I have the rest of my life and I plan on being here for her forver. The day she found out I was cheating on her, she called me while I was at work, I can feel the tears pouring down her face, I can feel her whole world shattering. That phone call plays over and over in my head. I don't ever want to hear my wife that way ever again. Sometimes I find myself crying when I'm alone and I constantly think about the whole situation and I think to myself "How could I have done this to my wife", "How could I hurt the best thing that has ever happened to me". At time I wish I could die and come back to life again so I could start all over again without ever making the same mistake again. I know that my wife thinks I'm going to do it again but I wish that there is someway she could see inside my heart that I have nothing but the purest and honorable intentions with my wife. I also came clean to my wife about two weeks ago when this woman tried to email me at work. I did respond to her, but rather than bitching at her and telling her to leave me alone, I replied making it look like an autoreply stating that I was no longer with the company, to date I have not heard back from her which is a good thing. I don't keep anything from my wife anymore wheather it's good or bad. I know it's very hard for my wife and wouldn't blame her if she ever decided to leave me, I just want to see her happy and I want her to know that she did nothing wrong. I failed her as a husband and that if she ever wanted to take me back, I would be right here waiting for her. I hope plenty of people read this and realize that infidelity ruins marriages. I really hurts the ones you love most and if you're comteplating on cheating reach out to your spouse and tell them how you feel. I'm sure they would much rather find out now before it happens than finding out the hard way later on. S----a, I want the whole world to know that I love you and I'm deeply sorry for ever hurting you. Please give us a chance.

    Your loving husband Alex
