I talk to the woman and she tells me everything they planned on doing when they met and they even exchanged phone numbers.
I have been with this man for 11 years now and we have three children together and I honestly thought that he valued our marriage and family more than he does. He has apologized to me numerous times and has done everything that he can to show me that he has not cheated. he leaves his phone where I can get to it, I have access to his facebook login and he lets me read all his text messages. He doesn't go anywhere really and he works overtime as well. for some reason I can't get over it and I am always thinking that maybe he is seeing someone at his job although I have no proof of it. I'm trying so hard not to throw things in his face when he wants to step out with the fellas and I understand that sometimes he need to breathe and get away but I just don't know how to let go of the pain. He is so tired of me bringing the situation up and he hates that I call him all the time and question his whereabouts, he hates that I don't let him hang out with the fellas and he hates that I always ask him about his female co-workers that he communicates with regarding work. he hates that I ask him to call me every day at lunch but he does everything I ask. A part of me feels like I have the right to do the things that I do but another part feels like I'm doing too much and pushing him away. I need help and really don't know what to do anymore because its obvious my pain is too deep. Can someone give me advice on how to deal with this please I really would appreciate it!
Wow - this hurts me and I don't even know you. I can't imagine.
How did you find his dating site page?
I'm an investigator. I do matrimonial surveillances. I have found that there are people who cheat once and never cheat again. There are also people who cheat - again and again and again. Everything is fine for a while and then there's that need to be "out there."
How do you tell them apart? I honestly don't know.
There's a thin line between checking up on him and being reassured. Somewhere deep inside you you must have a sense of him, the how and why of his cheating, the chances he'll cheat again. What does your heart say?
If you believe he won't, want to give him the benefit of the doubt (and, yes, it sounds like he's trying to stay straight) would talking to someone help you? Did he have any explanation why he cheated - even if it's nonsense, did he say anything? He's getting older, anything?
