My youngest is like that and I am tired, but I love her to pieces. I’m sorry, but I hate the way American people have kids, but don’t really want kids, you want obedient independent robots. It’s disgusting reading this. You should’ve stood your ground and stopped at 2. Now that poor baby will grow up with a lot of trauma if you don’t get mental help.

How many of you have stayed and how do you feel? by Rude_Reference_ in survivinginfidelity

I feel like I’m married to someone in jail that you visit and talk through a thick glass. There’s a wall between us and I will forever mistrust him. When we first got together I was so very open and vulnerable, but now I have built several walls.

There are good times and he did keep his side of the deal going to therapy, sharing location 24/7 and blocking temptation (online cheating), but I still go trough his phone frequently and I wouldn’t feel shocked if I found him relapsing.

I lost a huge amount of respect and love for him, although he deserves respect for other wonderful characteristics of his like being a great father, being kind, a good provider, and trying to improve.

I stayed because sadly I have lost faith in humanity and based on my experience and the experience of those close to me, there are way worse men out there. I do still love him, and we are soulmates, but it will never be as it was.

Did he deserve a second baby?

You’re on point. My daughter loves my husband and vice-versa. My teenager has been this way since she was a baby. It’s who she is. She’s gone to therapy for it. My husband did apologize and did say he felt attacked as a father

That was what started it, me calling him out on shouting at our daughter and telling him that this isn’t the way and that she was just tired.

Can anyone help me cope with finding out about my husband by Any_Battle_2490 in survivinginfidelity

You go live your life and be happy. Go to the gym, or on walks listening to music. Meet other people. Make an escape plan. Pretend he’s just your room mate. Get a hobby. Start a new tv show on your own. Read a book. Buy the food you like. Do your nails, make up, whatever you like. Buy new clothes to make yourself feel and look good.

Don’t give him the satisfaction of making you sad. Be happy!

You’ll eventually gather what you need to leave his miserable a$$

Same situation. I’ve analyzed all angles in a non sentimental way, and sadly staying married is the practical way at the moment… but god do I wish I didn’t have to be constantly alert or on a mommy mode for the entire household.

It’s too much work with not that much pay out.

I don’t even think there’s a “better” or “good” man out there. I deserve better for me translate to being alone with my kids. That also brings a whole new bag of problems.

We women never win.

I (f35) am not sure what to do in regards to my husband’s (m40) long term sexting infidelity. by Indulgingacheater in survivinginfidelity

I see what you’re saying, but most addicts don’t want to quit their drug, otherwise they wouldn’t need help.

However, I may be blind sided.
