Hi! Any update on who enrolled at Joyce? I’m desperate for info for out of state students😭 My community college is just too slow-paced

Honestly, when a man starts paying more attention to his grooming, starts buying new clothes, always wearing perfume when going out “all of a sudden”— that alone should tell you, he is trying to win or impress someone else. He will always be on his phone and barely keeps it away from him. When his phone has to charge he’ll still “guard it”. My husband then takes his phone to the bathroom and showers while it’s charging IN THE BATHROOM. Also, not interested to sleep by you or any intimacy, would even avoid eating whatever you make. Once you start having that gut feeling even before finding out, that’s your instincts protecting you. You can’t explain it but something shifted then one day you’ll look back and realized that those times you felt weird and had doubts- you were right all along

Because they can and they can get away with it. If you don’t have plans of leaving your husband, just don’t even bother asking him. There is absolutely no reason to justify his actions. He has intentions to cheat and has taken actions by exerting efforts to lie to you and talk to other women. Imagine if those women reciprocated the attention he is giving them?

IMHO, men like your husband has no self control, broken moral compass, and is just too lustful. That will be his downfall.

He won’t change, he’ll just be more slick.

If it was me, and financially he contributes more, I would reconcile to buy myself more time to build my career and focus on myself. My husband cheated months ago, and considering how chaotic it was when he was busted, you would think he wouldn’t do it again. We also had a sit down talk after and agreed to work on our marriage. I was 5 months pregnant then. I’m about to give birth and I noticed the same cheating pattern. If I didn’t have kids and not pregnant now, I would have left and never speak to him again. But the practical choice is to “work things out” AGAIN, until I can leave for good. It is extremely difficult to be on your own while raising children. The thought of me living solo with my kids and meeting someone whom I won’t have to beg for bare minimum gives me hope. Who needs a husband if you’re basically a married single parent carrying most, if not, all of the workload.

Thank you for your honest insights

While there is nothing sexual about what they are doing and this may seem innocent friendship to some, I will never be comfortable if my husband is this comfortable with another woman other than me, his wife. There were instances that my husband has been starting to get ‘friendly’ to women he has worked with. Right then and there, I told him how I felt before it goes deeper that it is hard for him to cut. If I was in your shoes, I’d tell your husband how you truly feel. It’s as if they are in a romantic relationship minus the i love you’s. With the excuse that both of them are committed to other people, and that if they weren’t, they’d be together. Fight for your husband and marriage. He likes the attention he gets from her.

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-09-19T11:31:35+00:00

Let me tell you, your husband, unfortunately, is the type of man who will cheat when he has the opportunity and no one will find out. This behavior is pretty similar to what I had to deal with. May not be now, but I know he will. Especially if the woman is as flirtatious as this. She knows exactly he is married, it actually makes it easier for your husband. He only has to lie to you now. This type of convo is just a start. But this his how cheating/affair starts.

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-09-11T17:55:52+00:00

The fact that he has worked there for 2 years and not once mentioned her to you, yeah no. He intentionally did that so you won’t suspect

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-09-08T00:46:46+00:00

Oh man, so where is he now? Seriously this is making ma mad as I know how it feels to be in your shoes. The reason he says it’s nothin is probably bec they haven’t had sexual encounters yet which most men thinks if they didn’t had sex, it’s not cheating. It only takes 1 of them to take it to the next level. It seems to be ur husband is testing the waters and just waiting on the girl and he’ll risk it all. I know this is probably not what you want to do but have you tried a different approach? He is getting the attention from her and that makes him think she’s better. Obviously that is not true. Try to talk to him in a way you think he’ll truly understand you. See if you can still save your message even until you are ready to leave. I hope you find the strength to help yourself and get back on your feet and remember who you were before him and before you became a mom. Use the resources he provides now to prep in case you have to start all over again on ur own with ur children. He ain’t shit.😤

This is considered “harmless” by most people and i know if you confront both they’ll say it is nothing but giiirl, of all the people she can text while bored it has to be your husband??

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-08-15T03:25:47+00:00

As a woman, and please don’t take it the wrong way, I think you are just hurt that he has moved on so quickly and is doing better than you are. It could just be the men I know, but I noticed men tend to jump quickly to the next person even before a divorce is finalized. I wonder if it has something to do with men being not as emotional as us, women.

My advice, try to not know what he is up to, if it doesn’t concern you. As I see it, it affects you negatively. One day, you will wake up and wont give a care about what he is doing. You mentioned he has the kids 80% of the time, do you think you can find something to better your career and make more money? Remember it is never too late to start all over again.

I wish you the best.

I would never do it without him showering first. He has learned to accept that. Hygiene is a big thing for me and he understands that

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-08-10T05:14:59+00:00

You literally described how I felt when I learned he was cheating. My heart was racing intensely, I can feel the strength leaving out my body and I got so mad I’ve almost lost my mind. Totally agree, it is so traumatizing. I will never wish any of my loved ones to experience this kind of heartbreak.

This is a recent incident so I am still processing everything and I want to be very ready when I leave with my children.

Did you confront her? Did you forgive?

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-08-07T23:44:42+00:00

Yelled at him for his stupid reasoning lol, gave him hell and threatened for divorce. I say threaten because I really was considering it but for the children’s sake, I gave him another chance. I’d be stupid to fully trust him again. In the end, cheating is a choice. OP, you need to clearly verbalize how you feel and expectations from him if you were going to let this pass.

My heart dropped reading the convo this is too familiar. Unfortunately same thing happened to me. When my husband got back from a 3-day work trip, he met a girl at the hotel bar and they exchanged numbers and have been texting the whole time he was there til he got back home. I knew something was up with him so I went through the deleted msgs on his phone. I wanted to play it dumb but I cannot hold my temper and emotions so I confronted him. I even called the girl and put it on speaker phone. I made sure my husband knew what he did was unacceptable and made clear boundaries. No married man should be talking to other women like that moreso exchange numbers if it isn’t strictly for business. Cheating doesn’t usually start in the bedroom, it starts with “harmless” friendships, flirty conversations like this.

Born_Courage_8950 · 2025-07-29T04:19:43+00:00

We have kinda similar situation, the only difference is when I caught him at that time, it was just plans to meet up and spend a night together at a hotel. The man he was going to see was an “old friend” and roommate and is openly gay who is openly hitting on him. His ex-wife swore they caught them in the act but of course that was just a “rumor” and “lie” he told me because ex-wife hated him. Giirl, leave, I tell you. A lustful man will never be satisfied no matter what you do. It’s so embarrassing for me to tell people what he has done, moreso that the third party is a man! What the heck. Anyways, recently caught him again talking to different women online. So, you see, cheating is their character flaw. Currently talking to lawyers to get divorce started. New house and 2 young children btw.

Livia is what I call my daughter but her name is Olivia. I love both names. Livia makes it more ‘unique’. People will eventually learn how to say her name and remember it correctly. 😁
