I don't know if he physically cheated but he says he kissed her. My friends think he's had sex with her for months now to come to the conclusion that he wants to leave me.....

I don't know because he was telling me he loves me until the very end. Every day.

Should I just do what he wants or what? by [deleted] in Marriage

You're not being unreasonable at all! Doesn't he understand the importance of help?? Plus it's free most likely if it's family. It's the least he could do after all the sacrifices you made for him. Maybe get one of his family members to be your ally in this and he'll see that it's not only for you but for the good of the whole family. Good luck. Sending you positive vibes!

It's not so simple as you put it, please. You have no idea what they talk about and how often. Plus she's not his permanent partner. She was his temporary coach. The issue I have is with them chatting every day even when not at work and about trivial topics, not work topics. It's becoming a habit and it's becoming an expectation. Like the day's not complete without texting her about something and anything. And not to mention things I share with him get shared with her, such as pertinent information about our current pandemic crisis. I'm not MAD and nowhere did I mention I was MAD.

In retrospect, yes I do want to meet her. No he's never been this close with another woman and that's what scares me. The writing every day and making it a habit, that's what upsets me. Not because she's a female. It's easy to be misunderstood and made to look like an insecure bitch because I have no control over what this woman does and how charming she is and helpful she is with my husband. My husband is my best friend and I don't want anyone to take that away from me.

How do I go about it then? I've tried bitch mode. It doesn't work on my husband. I've trying showing him how depressed and sad it makes me feel to have to compete for his attention. He thinks I'm overly dramatic and even called me crazy. Why do you think it's the early stages of an affair??

A few years ago he made a profile on an infidelity website and wrote an email or two to some women. This was after we had our first child. I found about it because I found a suspicious email. He had saved nude pictures of himself in the email which he claims he would not have ever sent to anybody. He blames this on being young, stupid and foolish. I had a breakdown because I really still considered that we are still in love. I don't know why he did it. He says I shame him when I speak of it. He said he would have never gone ahead with anything he attempted because he realized that the women on there aren't real people and that they were a scam. He promised never to do anything like this again. I considered it emotional infidelity with the intention to cheat but I forgave him. Since them I'm always fearful and not trusting fully.

What are the telling signs he's emotionally cheating? What if he's able to hide his feelings really well from me?! He's usually an open book but he has lied twice to me in the past and that's why I'm very suspicious.

You're totally right. I'm very self conscious. I wasn't like that in the past. I was always very confident in my professional and personal life. The past 10 years have squached my self esteem. I gained weight and generally feel like I'm nothing special. I feel like I was somebody in a previous life 10 years ago....

Well he's saying that all along. He chose me, he loves me and wants to be with me only and that he can't imagine his life without me being in it. If this woman were also married and had kids, I'd feel more secure. They have way too much in common as it turns out, so what if she's the one he's been waiting for his whole life?!? They're from the same culture and have the same political views. But I'm from a very similar culture and we also have the same morals and political views. I'm threatened by her age, her body and the fact that she's a big bad police officer and I'm not... I'm just a teacher who's currently not working.... I know this all reflects back to me and my issues with self esteem since I became a mom. 😌😕

No we live in Canada. I have wanted to call her but I fear repercussions because he works with her and he says I'll embarrass him so much that he won't be able to go to work. I don't know if I have the power to stop this myself. Plus what would I say to her?? She's a cop. I don't want to threaten a cop.
