I prodded further and she admitted they made out. I prodded further and she admitted to having dinner at his house while i and his wife were out of town and the had sexually contact in his bead. It was at this point that I knew her affair had happened 2.
She also admitted to having sexual contact in a public park among park visitors. She explained that she had only made out and allowed him to fondle her and she gave him oral for several months. At the time this man was married just 3 months earlier and my wife had given birth to our child 3 months earlier.
It would seem she feels I deserve punishment, but what she did was not as bad as my infidelity. I was heartbroken, but wanted to talk it out. Her stories changed and I found out she had the affair 2 years earlier and then continued the affair with him after we separated.
The mans wife confronted my wife and this scared my wife away, but only after denying any such truth. I feel how I feel.
I know I was wrong, but when she confronted me she wanted all the facts times, places, etc. I feel as though she thinks shes better than me. I know that had she came to me at the time of my affair and admitted hers as well, that we could have hashed it out. But know I feel that if this woman is capable of lying to me for twenty years with a straight face, then what else has she lied about. I came clean, I admitted my sin and owned it.
I took the punishment because I felt I had it coming and I was truly sorry. I couldnt lie to my wife about my horrible selfish behavior.
But know I feel the only reason she forgave me was she was basically calling us even. But is it even if she calls me a liar not to be trusted, yet she thinks she did nothing nearly as bad as me. I have held to that promise ever since. But now I feel cheated and I dont trust her at all. I know I cant recover the emotions I had before for her, yet I do love her. But the torment and pain of her betrayal inst what haunts me, its the fact that she has the ability to lie straight to my face ridicule my crime and remain silent for years about her own.
Today its been 2 years since I caught her in her lies and the pain and betrayal is just as painful as before. I know I was wrong, truly I do. But why is she better, why does she have the right to chastise me and lie the whole time. I cant help these feelings, the twenty years of making me feel like a horrible husband for cheating, all the while covering up her affairs with this man that admitted he had wanted to have sex with her since she was 14 years old.
What kind of woman could not find a man like that utterly disgusting. I just cant find it in my heart to believe a word she says or trust her at all.
I often wonder if a divorce and starting a new monogamy with someone compatible that also appreciates the devastation of infidelity is the proper steps to move past this nightmare. I know I did wrong, but I came clean 20 years ago and have lead a loyal and dedicated life to her and my kids. To know this about her challenges my very love for her.
I dont know how I feel at times. She admitted the man was a pedophile, yet she wanted to remain close throughout our marriage up until I caught her in her lies.
What does that say about her? I dont want to get stabbed gain. I know I will never find myself in another affair, the thought disgust me and cause severe pain of the knowledge of the damage I had done. Why does she not see that to to this day. She still says it was a mistake and just that.
In her eyes, Im a disgusting adulterer and my affair partner was just a home-wrecking whore. But she doesnt view herself as that way. I feel like the affair has lasted that long based solely on the fact that her and her lover were covering each others lies. That just doesnt sound like remorse or a desire to be honest or seek true forgiveness. Again, I know Im no angel, I know my sins, and I accept my punishment everyday with the hate I have for myself for being so selfish.
She doesnt show that same remorse. For twenty years she covered it up with nerves of steel. She has the ability to deceive me and that scares me to death. Its been two years since D-Day and I still struggle daily with the anguish and pain. I feel as though my life was shattered and can never be recovered. Can anyone relate to my situation.
Please dont judge me, I had that done to me by everyone including myself. Please, I just feel alone in this and dont know what to do. I just want a sole mate I can talk to. Whish I did, I just didnt sit in judgement and cover up my own sins and act self as though shes better than me.
She even told me that her own parents threatened this man with the police because his behavior and romantic letters were inappropriate for a 25 year old to be sending to a 14 year old. Yet my wife did and always did seem infatuated with him. I cannot trust her, but dont want to add another mistake to my long list of poor decisions.
I feel exactly the same way as you. I totally understand. My husband died and I met a man, he lied about everything, 1. You need more time to miss your wife. People are out their waiting like animals to deceive you on every level, wait until you are stronger.
Who does that. My husband and I have been together for 21 yrs but the last 8 have been the toughest. For next 10 years thats what comforted me in tough times. As long as I could trust him and he never cheated on me I could handle anything else. Well 8 yrs ago in the final months of pregnancy with our 3rd child I discovered an email to a woman in Australia.
I still dont know how long it was going on but it was a She had sent pics in lingerie. I still dont know how long it was going on but it had been few months for sure. She had sent pics in lingerie and in 3 emails he said he loved her. I thought everything was great actually better than had been few months prior. I immediately confronted him and confronted her in email. The trust was gone…. Ive tried forgetting but every couple years I catch him in lies.
Just when I start to regain trust something happens. Recently about 6 months ago I found subscription to a cheating site where his profile actually said married but looking for extra sex.
II lost it again , confronted him and said I was done. He said hed prove to me i was it. Last week I looked at Google location and he was cauught being somewhere 2 days in a row when supposed to be working. I confronted again and he just got made I checked google. Should I give up on him treating me right. I tell him how worthless i feel and lonely i am but get nothing. Deception and humiliation are truly the worst parts in infidelity.
The affair continued full blown after I confronted and I was told that I was not good enough as per his friends. And he dared to keep things friendly. How such people live and behave without a pinch of shame or remorse!?
Had to face life in the same space with my ex and his new gf he cheated me on with, for about a year. How do you let go of your boyfriend leaving you for someone else, and then coming back realizing he made a mistake…he said he never had sex with her while together together but left emotionally …its been a little over a year now and I havent let it go.
I feel like there is this unsettling fear that it will happen again and it hurts like hell, and causes fights. We were able to put the affair behind us over 23 years ago and move on. I forgave him and eventually was able to trust him again. I would trust him now, except he keeps wanting to exclude me when it comes to making plans to meet this son. He actually made plans to go spend a weekend where he lives.
My daughter is the one who convinced him that this was wrong so he canceled that trip and we are planning a day trip. He planned the trip but did not tell his son that I would be coming with him. What does this mean? Why is he being so secretive? I have been married to my husband, a senior Captain at a major airlines. We have 4 wonderful children, that have never given us any problems.
All our friends think we have the perfect marriage and family life. But, if they only knew the truth. Recently , this past February I finally confronted him about his texting other women and actually meeting them out for drinks. He confessed that he had a one night stand with another lady pilot. Plus he had been meeting a friend of ours at hotel bars for drinks.
He begged for forgiveness. Friends and family love him too! I read some of his text to one of them and he said horrible things about me, made up terrible lies, I guess just to get her to feel sorry for him, for attention. Even told her One of our boys was his friends son!
He has done some stupid shit over the years, like getting on affair websites and sending flowers to our baby sitter on her 18 BD it was our 5 th wedding anniversary! But I forgave him. But this deal now is bout more then I can take! I have a little cash saved up in my on account, but I only work part time as an esthetican. If I leave my way of living will definitely be a thing of the past! How can I make my heart not hurt so much, and stop being depressed.
All I think bout are his lying text messages talking ugly things bout me to other women, then he says it was just made up stories to get attention and he did not mean a word of it at all! I need advice on what I should do, stay or go? But the day I heard her tell Sasha that I was the reason her daddy want in the picture I was floored. Granted they might not be as vivid as that was but that was like 3 yrs in.
So I still gave her every benefit till she decided to show me every card in her hand that day. Here goes and take note… They love to show you their hand. Why well ill close with that. This tiny physho has tried to physically come at me twice now, threatens to call the cops on me, our landlord to have me homeless, her dad, and to take my children to a place ill never find her or them to simply be dad still.
Much love to anyone here male or female going through this…. I am submitting this on behalf of a good friend of mine. His name is Carlton. He got involved in an affair and left his wife Charlotte for another woman.
This news has been hard on the few people that know of the affair and him leaving. Carlton and Charlotte were so well suited for each other. Charlotte adored Carlton and I thought Carlton loved Charlotte as well. Several of us have spoken about this. Carlton has moved in with his girlfriend. We feel Carlton got wrapped up in the affair and did not truly want to leave Charlotte. Can these two wonderful people, Carlton and Charlotte be helped?
This breaks my heart. Carlton will face such embarrassment for what he has done. Can their marriage be saved? Please help them. Thank you. I love this couple. I feel Carlton turned on Charlotte and he needs to realize that he and Charlotte need help.
He needs to return to Charlotte, beg for her forgiveness and promise to never cheat on her again. He loves only Charlotte. This affair and possible divorce will embarrass Carlton completely. He will lose all credibility. Help me friends. Thankfully, I was able to overcome the authors absolutely insane comment in order to get through this otherwise intelligent article.
Well, because whomever replies to this will conjure up even more stupidity to rebut my comment, which is why I debated pointing this out in the first place, but that only proves the point that not only do people think critically to fundamentally disagree with the author as well, because why would my wife need to be all alone with another man in the first place??
Moreover, despite using different examples of male and female all throughout, I find it unlikely that any woman would agree with the author on this same point should the genders be inversely stated: no woman would be perfectly fine with their man being all alone with a female as again, there surely are examples but this is stated in the general sense and therefore responded to using the same logic…. Now I seen him with another man and I asked him if he as gay, he got irate with me flew off the handle and made me out to be crazy, I know what I saw my eyes are not lying.
He takes him everywhere, I dont get to go anywhere but wants to deny he is in a gay relationship with him. What do I need to do? Leave his ass at once! They never change, ever. Does it make you happy?
No and no. Choose peace and happiness and self worth! Good luck to you. I had a friend who was married now separated. He had two affairs before me. Him and his wife had no sex or intemency for 6 years. She is trying to sue me for destroying her marriage. Can she do that? This week I found out that my husband of 20 years has been cheating with multiple partners throughout our relationship. He was not the person I thought he was, I was living in a fantasy that everything was okay.
I think it will take a lot of work for me to ever trust myself again, let alone a new partner. Exactly what I needed to read this morning. The same concepts I have been trying to explain to my S. I plan on recording myself reading this entire article and sending it to him. He and I have been having difficulties for the last several months and I feel like this exact topic is the reason for the destruction of our current situationship.

Good luck you are gonna need it since 1 guy Is the representative of all men Reply Unfortunately the vast majority of them if not all are liars. Reply Lord have mercy, I feel for you man! Reply James that is the real truth right there bro!! I am scared to face anyone Reply.
Reply if you have children you should see a counselor, if you dont, then leave the relationship. Reply He was dysfunctional and weak. Withholding your attention from your partner is another thing that will crush the bond you built over the year. If it is intentional, then you need to stop it right now. Even if it is not intentional, try to figure it out before your relationship comes crumbling down. Do you find it difficult to trust your spouse or unable to express your needs?
If this rings a bell, then you might be feeling resentment towards your partner. Resentment can come easily in a relationship and might ruin it even before you realise it. It starts quiet, which is why you need to address it in the initial stage. Acting condescending towards each other. Talking down your partner is the last thing you should do if you want a healthy and long-lasting relationship.
Only focusing on physical intimacy. Physical intimacy is important for a relationship, but emotional, intellectual and spiritual intimacy is also important in a relationship. Being alone can be scary if you have been your partner for the longest time. But that should not be the only reason to be in a relationship.
Being co-dependent is not good for you or your partner. Lack of communication. Not being able to share things with your partner is a silent killer that will affect your relationship in the worst way possible.
All these things build up over time and become unmanageable, which makes it so damaging. Try to fix it as soon as you can to avoid problems. Children from the ages of 6 to 12 understand what lying is and the moral wrongness of this behavior.
However, children may continue to lie in order to test adult rules and limits. The child may admit to telling a lie, but usually he or she has many reasons for having done so. Rules are very important at this age, so cheating becomes less important. Children may lie about their grades if parents assume that they are doing better in school than they really are. If a child is asked why he or she did some bad behavior, the child may lie because he or she is unable to explain the actions.
Multiple situations may cause concern. If any of these apply to your child, it is important to talk with your child's healthcare provider:. A child who is lying and at the same time having other behavioral problems, such as setting things on fire, being mean to people or animals, having sleep problems, or is very hyperactive, may have more psychological problems.
A child who lies and does not have many friends or does not want to play in groups may have poor self-esteem and be depressed. Stealing often causes more concern to parents because it may happen outside the home and may affect other people.
