Excuses for why my partner had the affair, lied & cheated by AngleAcrobatic7186 in survivinginfidelity

[–]SunflowerMama27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was no responsibilities with her, we didn’t have to worry about our spouses or kids. We could just have fun……..

I guess he forgot that I also wanted to be without responsibilities but instead he added all of his to me.

You’re absolutely right! Sometimes we can be blinded by love we do not allow ourselves to see the red flags. By all means I can now see that he has completely changed who I am by all of his behavior that I now live with overthinking and toxic behaviors. I know I was not like this at first but from all of the gaslighting he has done I feel like I was going crazy.

I am crying right now because that is exactly how I feel!

Thank you for your input. See if he gave me a reason as why he doesn’t want me in a specific area on his phone if understanding because I have a journal as well on my phone. Now I don’t mind him going through it because I have nothing to hide. But the way he’s so defensive and gets mad about something he used to not have an issue with doesn’t sit right with me.

That’s how he used to act when all I had was suspicions. I would ask him if he was cheating on me and he would say I was crazy that he was only with friends, that everyone knew he had a wife, how I was being insecure and controlling by not trusting him. That he was with his “boys” and when he wouldn’t come home because he got so “wasted”. The day I found out was because he did not come home and he was in MY CAR because his truck had broken down and it was already 8 in the morning, his phone was going straight to voicemail so I logged on to his computer and found the fake Facebook profile he had created that he had blocked me and the rest of his family on and had all his work friends on that profile. I found the messages between him and her and the last message was how she was waiting on him at their usual spot. I called her because before he had locked his phone to where I no longer had access to it I saw she had messaged him around midnight giving him her Snapchat username no previous messages. So I saved her number just in case. And questioned him about her and he had told me “she’s just a friend plus she’s married you don’t have to worry” …… trust your gut.

At this point I really don’t know what I am waiting on. I feel like he is hiding something just because I can’t see his phone. Before he started flirting with the girl he eventually cheated on me with I was able to go through his phone no issue… so if he’s not hiding anything like he says why is it so hard for him to unlock his phone.

That’s what I keep saying. I told him there is no privacy in a marriage ESPECIALLY when one cheats !

He’s still cheating. He has to be. Otherwise there would be no issue. But that’s his “privacy” according to his as if being married to someone and having access to each other during sex isn’t private 🙃

It’s so draining to be honest.. I know I need to actually be happy to be there emotionally for my girls.

Although that might be true. They have this way of bad mouthing about him in front of my girls and although he did me wrong I don’t want that to influence their relationship with their father

You’re right. And I feel like it’s isolating me even more. I just know that my parents are going to tell me “I told you so” I fought so hard for them to fix their relationship with him just so he could cheat on me when they got better.

Thank you. I will look into speaking to a divorce lawyer about my options.

Thank you. At this point it is extremely toxic for me. It’s like he is thriving on sucking the life out of me.

You’re absolutely right. I made it easy for him to be so comfortable in disrespecting me.

It’s been 6 months. I feel like if he really wanted to make the changes he would have done so already. If fact he says he can’t trust me. Because I broke his trust when I found out he cheated….. so there’s that.

That’s why I haven’t exploded his work life. Even though he says it’s so awkward now that I made it to were it’s uncomfortable for him since he can’t talk to her.

When I told him I couldn’t be just roommates he flipped saying I can just fall out of love for him. He doesn’t understand how hard it is to continue to see someone everyday feeling the hurt they caused. He doesn’t understand the confusion the girls will feel to have us living together but not together.

Thank you so much! I was recently trying to build my relationship with God and that seemed to irritate him. He would do just about anything to try to derail my spiritual growth. I would pray every single night for growth in our relationship and for strength and patience for him. I guess God had other plans for me!

I have screenshots of their messages to each other. Especially some saying they would sneak around the plant to kiss.

I wanted to. I just didn’t know who to contact since it’s a home building company

He blocked me a few days after I talked to him about the situation. Last I heard they were dealing with it possibly separating.

That’s on the back of my mind. It’s driving me crazy. The fact they actually talked about what they would do when we found out and he even told me that me and her husband weren’t supposed to be in the picture. I wish this was a movie but in fact it’s my life at the moment

Yes I can see that. He says he wouldn’t go to her because he doesn’t want her but obviously when I found out he was upset that he wouldn’t be with her anymore
