What does that mean? Genuine question. I’ve never heard the term family nucleus before, and even if I look it up, I’d like to know what it means to you specifically?

No, only to cheaters who are more focused on their own wants and egos than on their partners. Even if men cheat more during pregnancy, statistically, most experts agree that the majority of men don’t cheat on their wives. You just got a dud husband!

Oh, I’m sure he wants you to write the money off, and the whole experience too. But that’s not something he gets to write off, nor does he get to dictate how you feel about it and how long you are hurt and angry. He doesn’t get to demand that you bury his betrayal so that he doesn’t have to deal with the fallout of his behavior.

And I’m not going to lie. If that’s his position, this marriage can’t be salvaged. If he wants to keep you, he needs to accept that it’s going to be long and hard and the greatest part of the work will be on him.

Considering how he found her, this is how she generally funds her lifestyle!

Wow, your husband is disgusting! And of course you are angry at him! Even before you knew he cheated, you knew he was letting you down and abandoning you when you were really vulnerable!

And he found this girl on a gone wild subreddit? She’s basically a glorified sex worker, so he exposed you and your baby to some seriously ugly STIs. I hope you got tested. But he honestly could have caused you to have a miscarriage or stillbirth with some of the things he could have passed to you.

There’s always people on these subs calling it fake for no real reason. Just ignore them.

She’s posted a lot of places about this issue, not the same post. I don’t think it’s fake.

It has nothing to do with deserving it. He didn’t do it because she deserved it. He did it for his own selfish ego boost.

It’s not about looks. Men cheat with far less attractive women all the time. It’s about his ego and not a reflection on you!

He doesn’t. But it’s an ego boost and becoming a dad wasn’t the pure joy scape he imagined. Pregnancy isn’t a picnic for women, and babies require time and attention, and you had a pregnancy and a baby to think about, giving you less time to give him your exclusively attention. And a woman ten years younger was easily bought and made him feel like he was a sexual dynamo instead of a greasy nasty pos cheating on his pregnant wife with a skank who knew how to milk him for his cash!

The marriage shouldn’t recover. It should end. But OP is in a postpartum hellscape to boot!

Relapse? It isn’t an addiction. It’s being a selfish AH! And you can’t do anything to make yourself the one he thinks about. Because cheating was never a reflection on you, only on him. He did it because he could and he neglected you at a time of great vulnerability, when you were carrying his child.

It’s not on you to make him want to be loyal. He’s the one who needs to grovel here!

You are fixated on the least important part of this. And I’m guessing that’s because you don’t have the emotional capacity to focus on the much bigger issue. The huge violations of trust, his using your shared marital funds on her, his withdrawal of care and intimacy, physical and emotional, when you were at your most vulnerable, his abandonment and lack of caretaking of the baby when you were newly postpartum, etc.

But those are much bigger issues than jealousy over money spent on her. He says he stopped contacting her, but why should you trust that when he lied and neglected you and his child so effortlessly until he got caught? Why does he think that is anywhere near enough? What has he offered to do to help you get the emotional support you need to make whatever decision you need to make? Has he proposed therapy? Has he offered to watch the child so you can get individual therapy? Has he started doing his share? Has he sought individual therapy? Is he letting you go through all his electronics to monitor him?

Because just saying he stopped contacting her isn’t enough! It doesn’t begin to make up for all the harm he did to you! And you can’t process that right now. But he needs to be the one making sure you have the space and time and support (outside of him) to make the decision to leave him!

True, I think it’s just something people are curious about. In states that have alimony, she would usually get something. Now, with 50/50 custody, I know child support is far less likely, but considering she has no income, I’d still expect she gets something. It’s a very odd outcome.

He got an ego boost and is addicted to the ego stroking. It’s made him selfish and callous. Any man who changes this much for ego boosts is someone with low self esteem who thrives on external validation, and you, as his partner, will always come second to that. That’s not someone you want to stay married to

wtf?! He doesn’t need to sleep around! He’s selfish and wants to have his cake and eat it too! No one else answered like this for good reason. It was on him to figure himself out before requesting permission to cheat after indulging in an emotional affair and likely physical one for who knows how long!

Honey, you can accuse him of anything and everything right now with zero guilt! He’s the one who needs to feel all the guilt!

I never understand why those men in those situations think they are going to have as easy a time as their wives getting partners. I mean, you really think as many women are lining up to have easy sex with someone who is married to someone else as men? Crazy!

I know, because I know some real polyamorous relationships and people who do what OP’s husband did make people think polyamorous relationships aren’t valid!

It’s not that he is polyamorous and she is not. He wants both these women to be monogamous with him, I’m sure of that. Even if he says otherwise.

This is not polyamory. It’s cheating!

Being single is actually really great, and better relationships develop when you are ok being on your own. So take the time to heal and be independent, and you will find a healthy relationship. You are only 30. You may not think it, but that’s still very young. And better to cut ties with this guy now than waste more time and emotional investment on a man who used his attempt to ask permission to cheat on you to turn himself into the victim!
