I don't know where to beginning. I cannot believe I'm hither again. I thought I never would be. Quick backstory I guess... I found out February 2020 that my hubby had been having an affair for about a year. We went dorsum and forth for a while, fake R, the whole bit. Then in June we started R for real and I thought it was going well. It took a long time of form, but he was doing everything and anything I needed. We got downwards to the "why" it happened. He is a lineman and always on the road for his chore. His apprenticeship was 3 1/2 years long and during that time it was really stressful for the both of the states. He became really depressed. Like, cannot experience a matter, doesn't recognize himself depressed. That's when the affair started. I'yard non trying to make excuses, just explain that this was a large reason why I was able to forgive him and attempt for R. Considering it wasn't like he felt like he could exercise whatsoever he wanted, or like he deserved more sex or something like that. He was lost and hurting too. Anyhow, we were working on R. I couldn't believe it. This by year I have been so happy. I thought we were so happy.

That brings u.s.a. to this concluding Sunday night. Nosotros were just hanging out. We had already put our boys to bed and were watching tv, laughing and joking with each other. We started to get ready for bed and I saw a FB message on my telephone. The tv/motion picture message. The "You don't know me, only I'm concerned virtually my friend. Are you even so married to WH?". And I knew it. I showed it to WH and he broke downward and told me. It's been going on for vi months. I feel so humiliated. I had no idea. We've gone on vacations, nights away just the two of united states. We've had fun! We've had a sex life! A adept one! And the whole time he'due south been with this other woman. She's divorced and has 2 kids 12/thirteen ages I recollect. He's met the kids. Stayed at their house. They live beyond the state from usa. He would see her when he was there for piece of work. He still travels for work, he goes all effectually the land kinda at random.

I don't know what to do. I feel like my life is over. I don't take suicidal thoughts. I have three beautiful boys and I could never practise that to them. But I am in so much hurting. If I didn't have my boys then I don't recollect I would want to keep like this. Yous all know this feeling. You cannot even depict how much pain yous are in. I'chiliad staying numb equally much as I can. If I first to think most it and allow information technology become real I completely autumn apart and I can't do that because I have to take care of my kids. I feel like if I gave into it and let myself feel it, information technology would impale me. I would collapse on the floor and non be able to get up. I'm terrified to let myself feel angry notwithstanding. I know that its coming. My mind is telling me that once I get angry then it'due south actually real and we're actually over. I can't fifty-fifty say the words out loud.

The first time around, my listen went straight to wanting to R. I thought we accept to prepare this, piece of work this out. We'll exist ok. This time is different. I told him earlier that I couldn't practice this once again. He promised me it would never happen over again. How would I ever exist able to trust him once more? I thought we were so happy! I had no idea the whole time. I know its over. I'yard terrified. I already miss him so much.

There is so much betrayal. I can't embrace information technology all.

I am so sad you accept a reason to seek us out, Future. It is so unfair. How could he go through all of that, see how much information technology hurt you and Cull to do it all again? I know you are in incredible hurting correct at present, simply it will somewhen become better. The secret is that yous can take action steps to minimize the healing timeline.

First things outset, you demand to take care of your physical health. If you are not eating or getting enough water or balance, your brain will not office properly and you lot need information technology at present more than ever. If yous cannot eat, get poly peptide shakes and sip them. Make yourself drink h2o. Force yourself to go outside and take a walk. If you cannot sleep, go some aids from your Dr (you should see them nigh an STD panel anyway). Make sure yous are not neglecting these basics and keep it unproblematic.

I think you would benefit from some firsthand space from your husband. Can he go somewhere? Space will give you time to procedure this information and reconcile what you lot idea your reality was with what it really is. Seek out therapy with an individual counselor. Your children are used to him being gone I would assume, and so you wouldn't have to tell them too much at first.

Recovering from infidelity is a long long process and you have been reset to the beginning. Some would say even further back from that since this is the 2nd round. Keep posting here, nosotros know how you feel Just DO NOT SHARE THIS PLACE WITH YOUR HUSBAND! As y'all go through this process, nosotros will requite you strategic advice and if he is looking at your posts it volition undermine any help we offer.

Its okay not to be okay right now, but do y'all future self a favor and go along taking active steps to recover.

I am so sorry for you. This breaks my heart.

I don't know whether you will R or D but I can tell you lot that I was in your shoes (though information technology was only months of false R). But at that point I had no other selection but to D and I told him as much.

I don't know how he managed to get me to R simply he did. Merely I did not make information technology easy and he has changed from the mid life crisis lying jerk he was 8 years agone.

I don't WHY your H chose to exercise this while everything was going well for yous both. Maybe that an indication of what he has get. Instead of the guy he once was who didn't prevarication and crook.

I contacted a lawyer the first fourth dimension effectually so I accept an idea of what to look there. I'm non prepare to become into all that yet though.

I don't understand how he's and so distressing at present. This human does not cry and he'southward bawling. He's so sad and can't believe he injure me. Only why didn't he feel any of that during the 6 months he has been seeing her? Why didn't he stop? It doesn't make sense. Which 1 is the real him? I know I know, actions speak louder than words. He'due south just so convincing. I cannot imagine that he is such a monster that this is all only a show of remorse.

I get infinite from him for right now at least. He's gone during the week. Sometimes, a lot of times, he would be shut enough to come dwelling house a couple of nights per week, but I don't think he'southward going to right now even if he were close enough. So yes, the kids are used to him being gone. But I don't know what the eventual plan is going to be. And at present my oldest son is old plenty that he is going to understand. WH moved out for a bit the start fourth dimension around and we explained to my son that Dad sleeps at Dad'southward business firm now. My son kiiiinda understood, simply he didn't get the role that Mom and Dad aren't together anymore. And he wasn't old enough to really be confused. Simply at present he'southward older and he'southward going to sympathise. That kills me.

I'm eating. Not sleeping. But existing enough to take care of my kids.

Like others said, have care of you. Who do you accept to talk to? IC, pastor, best friend, sis or parent? Y'all need an outlet. IC can exist very helpful.

Please drink protein shakes to continue your free energy up and run into your doctor if y'all can't sleep. You lot need to go on your torso healthy to assistance your mind bargain with all this. Information technology'southward so hard, I know.

Hang in at that place. Remember this is about him and his bug and not you. And expect at actions, not words. Cheaters are amazing liars and become unrecognizable to united states of america. And we can't empathise it because our brains are not wired that style.

Hang in in that location. Y'all Will become through this, and so will your boys.

You don't accept to know what the eventual plan will be, not yet. You are likely nonetheless in shock and arresting all of this new information. You still accept an unabridged rollercoaster of feeling to ride out. You lot need time for your heart (which reminds you of the skilful times and his good qualities) to catch upwards with your head (which knows that this man betrayed yous and put your health and his family unit at risk Ii TIMES). We all hither understand that cognitive dissonance and how confusing information technology is. For the time being, focus on the nuts eat, beverage water, have care of kids, slumber. Once y'all accept steadied yourself, then you can retrieve about next steps. The key is to be away from him when you lot are still vulnerable and your middle is still resisting the change you didn't ask for.

Sadly, this is now a blueprint. When he'south away from home he just decides to pack his morals in a suitcase and do whatever he wants to do. He comes habitation and he'due south that happy family man who loves his wife. Then he gets on the road and he's Mr. serial cheater. I have no idea why people experience they are entitled to lie and cheat on the people they say they love but many of them practice. I can't tell you lot whether to R or D merely I can tell y'all that unless he changes jobs and stays home he'south going to keep doing this. I don't know, he might do it when he's in town. He may be the sweetest man in the world, he might be the best dad in the world, merely he still cheats and lies to you. That's what you have to bargain with.

I'm pitiful you find yourself back hither. The trust that you had was completely shattered and y'all have a right to feel lost correct now.

This homo does non weep and he'due south bawling. He's and then sorry and tin't believe he hurt me.

The trouble I come across is that he did not confess to you until you confronted him. Had you not gotten that bulletin he would nevertheless be in the eye of his matter and yous still believing your spousal relationship was better than e'er. Chances are he'south been with her longer and there's more to that story, but at this point it really doesn't affair.

I concord with the others: accept intendance of YOU and your kids now. Get into IC to help you process. Keep him out of the abode while you decide what path to have. Personally, I had to permit go of xWH after I discovered he had other girlfriends. I was not going to live like that and I knew I could never trust him again.

I call up he may be a sociopath. Depression probably played no part in the first affair y'all defenseless.
Most affairs, according to what I accept read, become undiscovered forever. You know of two. What are the odds that you just happened to discover the only ones? Pretty unlikely.

Your husband is a scoundrel. How he convinced you that stress and depression caused the first thing is beyond me. Many of us are in loftier stress jobs, some probably style more stressful than a lineman apprenticeship. That stress and depression excuse is bogus. Yous take yourself a bonafide serial cheater on your hands.

Oh dearest. He is non remorseful. He is showing you shame and embarrassment, and possibly fear over losing his home, and his lifestyle.
Stop listening to his words they are confusing you lot. He is basically living a double life, and believed he could get away with it.
You need to protect yourself and your kids.
I hope yous see your Dr and go full STD testing, and get a referral for a good therapist that deals in trauma.
Your kids deserve at least one parent that is healthy and demonstrates what a healthy normal is. Your H isn't that person. It falls to you.
You will exist fine. You can heal, and you will heal. You lot volition learn to be happy again, but your H has proven to you lot he is not a safe partner, and has committed the next level of betrayal that you cannot rebuild from, because he certainly thinks he can do whatsoever he wants.

Get healthy, focus on yourself, your needs, and your kids. And while yous don't want to run into an attorney, you lot need to practise it now. Why? Because if he has been living a second life, and got this woman pregnant, well guess who gets more kid back up? The person that applies for it first.

I detest that you are going through this, simply it's fourth dimension to protect yourself and your kids.

I'thou and then sorry your FuturewasStolen again! Makes me sad for you.

Your life can probably get better only most likely without him. He has shown you who he really is, at present believe him. His crying is fake. He is crying because you lot merely blew up his double life, not considering he hurt you and your kid's.

I honestly don't empathize how there are people like this out in the world, including my now deceased WH who recollect that cheating is okay.

Mine had multiple affairs, long-term and one night stands from the go go. And he always tried to convince me that he was a faithful, loving, doting husband and begetter whenever I would have doubts and question him. Who he really was was complete reverse of who I wanted him to be. And he never changed all the mode up to his expiry. He just got better at hiding it and deceiving me is all.

Knowing what I know now and the fact that y'all have already given him many chances to change his ways tells me that anything he says or does is not to be trusted pretty much from hither on out. He doesn't take yours or your kids backs. Trust should be the foundation of a good matrimony, withal he destroyed your trust! Your WH'south character is very flawed.

Just think almost it, he has had two families to report to, his AP and you.

I will tell you lot that I allowed my at present DWH to put me through the wringer. I believed him when he told me lies because I luuuuuved him.

As a result I feel like I am at present irreparably damaged, PTSD. Only by the grace of God, God removed him from my life considering I was as well emotionally weak and dependent to stand up on my ain 2 feet at the time, I stayed and took many more than psychological beatings from him. It was very dissentious non only to my brain only also to my soul.

I am now out of infidelity and I am slowly offset to find some sort of healing, simply equally you will. But y'all need to take a stand and fight for y'all and your child's now. Your WH is at present considered your enemy. Please come across him that mode and so that yous can proceeds the strength to make better informed decisions virtually yours and your kid's lives and your future.

This is just a chapter in your life. Know that in time you volition feel better. But also remember that your decisions going forward will make up one's mind your effect.

There are corking people on this site who are 100% willing to guide you through this turmoil created by your WH. Hopefully you can come here and detect some knowledge and comfort and a condom place to express and sort out your emotions.

I am sorry to hear that you are back just you lot besides will get through it; one day at a time is all that you lot accept.

Thank y'all to everyone who has taken the time to respond to me. I have read everything, multiple times, and it gives me forcefulness and promise. Some of information technology is difficult to read. I'm having trouble seeing my WH through your objective eyes. I'm having problem doubting him and seeing him as an enemy.

Also, how is it this hard to put myself kickoff before his needs? I subconsciously think most what is going to be harder on him. It's slowly dawning on me that I demand space from him, even if all my center wants to practise is text him and talk to him and be with him. My head is telling me to not do whatever of those things. But in the back of my mind I'chiliad influenced by the fact that thats going to hurt him. How messed upwardly is it that I worry about him correct at present? How pathetic am I?

I know I'm avoiding. Mayhap in deprival. Office of me just wants to take a few minutes to be numb earlier I have to dive into the tears, the rage, the figuring everything out.

As far equally possible pregnancy, he got a vasectomy this yr because we are washed having kids. Argent lining, huh? Obviously that doesn't cover any of the nasty stuff he could have given me though.

He told me that they met at a gym. That she made optics at him and he talked to her and they had sex that dark. I mean then little to him that that was all it took. Doesn't sound like he gave it a 2nd idea. And he's told her that he loves her.

I haven't told anyone still. Except my hairdresser. I already had an appointment booked yesterday morning. So I walk in looking like absolute shit. I sit down and she asks me what we're going to do today (with my hair) and I started bawling my optics out. Nosotros've known each other a long time and she went through this years agone too so she was actually actually adept to talk to and very understanding. And information technology was an early appointment so we were the only two people at that place. So basically I'm a walking mess.

What yous describe is someone who'south very unlikely to ever be a safe partner. I'm pitiful for you and your family, merely I really don't see what you accept to work with. He's proven to take weak or no boundaries and no impulse command to drop and so easily back into another matter just a little over a year after having been on the brink of blowing upwardly his family. It'due south non impossible that he can reform, just a very, very low probability. To me nowhere almost plenty to run a risk allowing him to farther impairment yous and your kids. Take care of yourself and your kids. Leave him in the mess he created.

I know this latest discovery is still sinking in, and you're feeling ambivalent and numb, so I'yard going to exist outraged for you. how dare he!!! Skilful husbands and partners don't do this to the person they're supposed to cherish, honor, respect, and love. If he gets away with it this time, he will realize he can cheat on you over and over again. He'south crying because he got caught. You lot need to exist incredibly strong this time! Do the 180, and consider what kind of example you lot want your children to see when it comes to having a partner and treating them correctly. He has cleaved vows once again and again (practise yous actually desire to keep living that fashion? He's not a safe partner for you (or a practiced office model for your kids). Whatever y'all determine, information technology'south time for heavy lifting past him ( boundaries, transparency, timeline, IC, y'all know the drill). He needs to know there volition be no reconciliation without real changes from him (then that doesn't guarantee yous will agree to reconcile). I was at this point, and told my WH that I didn't care what he did anymore, only I would only be in a marriage consisting of 2 people. He wized upward, and we've at present been married 43 years.

Ok, but looked at your posts from the past (maybe you should review them too). Is this the same AP, or a new i? Sad, I guess it is a new 1 if he just met her at a gym. Personally, I'd go NC with him, and whatever child visitation yous come upwardly with, I'd make sure I left during that time. My impression of this man child (afterwards reading your past posts) is that he comes off as cruel, and extremely selfish. He knows he can manipulate you then he can cake eat. You deserve way better!!

FaithFool ( member #20150) posted at 10:50 PM on Wednesday, Dec 1st, 2021

I merely want to say I can and so relate to the pain yous're in. I was married for 22 years, and plant out that 20 of those were a large fat lie. He worked in the music biz every bit a tech, so was gone one-half the time, sometimes 90 days at a stretch. I was the eternally patient trusting married woman who waited around for him to grow upward, because he behaved like a child a lot of the time even after he finally got sober.

I probably wouldn't accept discovered his 2nd life if he hadn't gotten sloppy and started upwardly something closer to home. Establish out that he was capable of hitting up potential targets on the plane, at the baggage carousel, on the shuttle, at the hotel, at the bar, by virtue of existence connected with big name musicians and giving out backstage passes whenever he felt similar getting some. Terrifying what I could have been exposed to. I'll never know the true torso count.

As for your example, the double stab of having a false reconciliation is a deep deep wound. In the middle of a pandemic too, what a disgusting thing to put someone through.

Of course they cry and cry. Mine went effectually for days wearing aught just a coating and feeling very sorry for himself when it all came crashing down and I threw him out of the bedroom.

I installed spyware on his laptop and uncovered more over fourth dimension. During our supposed reconciliation attempt (the first six months before I bailed finally) he went to England and I saw him emailing some girl who brought water ice to the dressing room, trying to get something going. That was the terminal straw.

Later on we separated, as he got in touch with his rather all-encompassing mailing list to restart things and ask for nude photos etc. I realized that he was showing me who he really was. The hurting was paralyzing and some days I idea my heart would actually break in two. Plus I felt like SUCH a fool.

Information technology took a really long time but I'm 13 years out now, happily single, and my life is pretty neat. I'k still actually wary and untrusting of nearly men, and that's a scar I'll always carry.

You'll get there. But take it baby steps at a time, you have your kids to call back almost and that's an extra stress you have to work through. This site saved my life. Stay shut to u.s. and post frequently.

I'm so so sorry. No-one should ever have to deal with this. Big hugs.

FuturewasStolen,

I hope y'all are giving yourself credit for the fantabulous cocky-reflection you are doing.

...how is it this hard to put myself first before his needs? I subconsciously think about what is going to be harder on him. It'due south slowly dawning on me that I need space from him, even if all my heart wants to do is text him and talk to him and be with him. My caput is telling me to not exercise whatever of those things. But in the back of my mind I'yard influenced by the fact that thats going to hurt him. How messed up is it that I worry most him right now...

You are acknowledging that emotional pull toward caretaking of him, but you are too acknowledging that you shouldn't act on those impulses.

And then, let me reinforce your already-corking instincts with this:

Expose requires very cocky-centered thinking and deportment. Betraying AGAIN during what you believed was an authentic endeavor at reconciliation takes SUPREMELY cocky-centered thinking & actions!

The sorrow and tears? He'southward pitiful for himself.

"Await, I'm so very sad and sorry at present. I can't believe what I've done to y'all...to us!!"
That's still self-centered thinking: "Look at my sorrow. Look at my shame, and guilt. Look at me being so very sad."

He likely believes his hype.
Merely he's sorry enough for himself for the both of you.
You don't need to waste product any energy on that.

Have care of yourself you fine, 18-carat, deserving woman. Treat yourself with all of the care and kindness you lot would a friend in your shoes.

Allow others support you too. Achieve out for their back up.

You deserve care and kindness...and safe. Believe that.
