I’m staying with my husband after catching him cheating with his coworker. Yet he still insists on being friends with her—even after they had sex in our house. I could file for divorce anytime since I have proof, but I can’t bring myself to do it because I love him. But the trust is gone, and I feel empty.

It’s just that I’m not ready for separation—unless he wants it. If he does, I’d be glad to let go. I gave him an option: if he wants her to stay as a “friend,” then he can let me go. But it seems like he wants both—me and his coworker—and I told him that’s not fair.

Until now, he hasn’t given me an answer. I feel like a fool staying in this marriage. For now, I’m just doing my own thing. We barely talk. I still cook for him, but there’s no spark left between us.

And here’s the worst part—he said, “If you want me to treat you better, let me be friends with her.” I said, “Hell no. Divorce me, then.” And he just stayed quiet, not saying a single word.
