| This man lies, cheats, steals, commits adultery, commits forgery (the credit card), and you still forgive him. Forgiveness is a wonderful gift. However, it does not look like your husband understands what that means nor does he understand it does not give him permission to continue acting like he is acting.
A man who exhibits all the behaviors your husband does is neither a good man nor a good Father. His role modeling leaves much to be desired, unless you want your children to grow up and act just like their Dad.
I agree with you that cheating on him would not help matters - that only brings you down to his level. His suicide attempt was just that, an attempt. He did it as an act of desperation, thinking you would feel guilty and then stay. It worked too, didn't it?
It is difficult to do, but you must start thinking about the welfare of your children and your own welfare. Your husband is a big boy now and wants to play all the games. Let him play if he must, but not without you or the children any longer. You are all pawns in his world. I do hope you find the courage and strength to leave and seek a healthier life.
After all your husband has done, he has clearly shown no efforts to change. I agree with Philly when he said your husband's behavior will continue. But you do not have to be a witness to it. Good luck. |
