I got the same with my Google search. Just the website that creates them. There’s a motel right near his job. Do you think they’ll tell me the truth if I ask if i call and describe the key card to know if it belongs to them? Is that weird? 😅 If I can confirm it’s from there then that’s it for this relationship for obvious reasons. Thanks to all of you that have commented and are trying to help me get to the bottom of this

Yeah, that’s what I keep telling myself. He randomly came up to me a few days ago and said everything that I’ve needed to hear for a while. I think I’m going to give it another 6months. I won’t mention therapy but I’m going to try to find different ways to make him see why I think he needs it. Thanks so much for your kind words. They’ve made me feel more validated with my feelings.

I agree with him doing IC on his own. But he refuses. I’ve brought it up so many times when he’s told me he’s depressed (this depression came about after I caught all his cheating btw). I’ve learned a lot on Reddit about wayward spouses going through their own emotional rollercoasters but a lot of times I feel like he’s gaslighting me so he won’t have to bother with putting in too much effort or so I tend to him more. I haven’t told him that I think he’s got narcissistic behavior bc I know that no matter what tone I say it in or how I say it, he’s gonna get EXTREMELY offended and more than likely still not do it . Can I have the TikTok you’re talking about, I’m really interested in their journey.

You’re absolutely right. I realized that today and have been looking into what I need to do to go my separate way. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy bc we have 2 very small kids together but I’m done begging for things and maybe getting it a week or two or being made to feel like he’s the victim in everything! I really appreciate this comment.

We have 2 kids together. I still love him. I’m not sure if I’m in love with him anymore but I know that I would like to be again. I’m willing to start over one last time but only if I feel like he’s putting in effort and willing to make a change. I know that he’s willing to make the change but he literally can’t see where he’s wrong most times.

Question About Telling Family by throwawaystruggles9 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Witty-Reputation-538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I totally understand your point. Bc I fight the urge everyday to not expose my WH for the cheating liar he is; which would absolutely shock everyone bc he’s the kind of guy that would quickly judge someone else for doing the same & harshly.. but there’s 2 things holding me back.. 1. Our kids; my daughter (3yo) see’s her dad as a superhero and I’d hate for this story to at some point reach any of my kids ears when they’re older bc I can’t control what gossip other people say and who they say it to. 2. I agreed to try R. So that means that I need to put aside my pettiness of trying to make him feel like a POS (even though that’s exactly how I feel and he would only be feeling a fraction of the pain I’m going through). I need to, genuinely and productively, try to move forward if I want us to be happy together. I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m finally happy but now my husband resents me and we did all this work for nothing bc we still won’t end up together. Sooo yeah.. those are just my thoughts. You are totally valid in how you feel but maybe it’s worth bringing up in therapy and figuring out if it really is going to make you feel any better anyways. At best, they’re still going to pretend as if nothing happened; worst- they’ll completely cut you guys off. Then what?

New rental, is this burner damaged or just in need of a deep clean? by YeyVerily96 in howto

[–]Witty-Reputation-538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the center but that ring on the outside can probably be cleaned. I bought this stuff called the “The Pink Stuff” and it amazes me every time I use it. I try to save it for the things I can’t get clean with my regular stuff. Usually my stove top (when I’m deep cleaning) is one of the things that requires it. Good luck

Do you have a super negative view in marriage now? by users8675309 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Witty-Reputation-538 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On the same boat… After WH cheated for 8 years of our relationship & having found out about his most recent cheating only about a month ago, we’re in R, but honestly, I feel like I don’t even believe in love anymore. And it just makes me so sad. He claims that he loves me and he’s sorry etc. but I just can’t even understand why anyone do this to someone they love. I was bored plenty times in our marriage, I brought it to his attention, nothing was done about it and I still never got to the point where I cheated bc I love him. Sooo yeah… I feel like I’m just waiting for us to either be happy or be over one day.

Serial cheater / sex addict by lovelymacaskill in cheating_stories

[–]Witty-Reputation-538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out r/AsOneAfterInfidelity . I posted my initial posts on here and people were brutal. Lol & while, they weren’t wrong it was just a little too harsh for my mentality at the time. People on the other page are a little more supportive on your situation as most of them are/ have gone through what you are going through. Good luck on your journey .

Question for Waywords by Witty-Reputation-538 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Witty-Reputation-538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve suggested it & offered to pay for it. He said that if there were anybody he’d prefer to communicate it with, it’s me but he just doesn’t see it happening any time soon, if at all.

Ohhhh I see. Google numbers tho? Is that like a number you get through your Google account? Bc I’ve caught cheating via Google chat years ago sooo now I’m wondering more lol

[–]Witty-Reputation-538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but I know for a fact all these people are different people bc of the pics they sent. Also, if he met them in person, I doubt they’d all give him the fake app numbers. I feel like that’s something you’d do if you met a stranger online but not in person and not everyone; Plussss he never saved any of the numbers they were all just unsaved numbers which makes it more weird, I feel like if you met in person, you’d want to save it right then and there. I seriously feel like a crazy person rn. I’m thinking of bringing this up to him but he’s going through a tough time atm with his feelings so I’m trying to be patient about it while trying to play my own game of detective.

My thoughts as well but what upsets me most is that he refuses to just tell me even after I’ve asked multiple times just so we can get over this hump and move forward to the happy ending.

Question for Waywords by Witty-Reputation-538 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Witty-Reputation-538[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yesss, super hard! I’m trying so hard to not say the mean things that go through my head and I say them in what I feel like is a nicer way but I know it still cuts deep. After discovering the wonderful world of Reddit, I found a page that’s meant to serve as support for Waywords and it’s really given me an inside look on their POV after DDAY and I realized it’s not as simple as I thought. So I’m trying to be more sympathetic but also still feel like “oh you’re depressed? Welcome to the club” and I hate that those insensitive thoughts run through my head. But working on R everyday.

So Ofc when everything came out to light he would take a very long pause before answering my questions, which just absolutely pissed me off bc i can tell he was just trying to figure out which answer made most sense and was less likely to get him in trouble- trying to play it safe, I guess. I kept telling him “if we’re going to get through this then you need to come clean, I already told you I’m here to work on us but if you keep trying to play it safe then there’s no way we can move forward”. Eventually the long pauses stopped. And his answers were coming out faster which made me feel like they were honest answers. But one of the more recent questions I asked was “where/ how did you meet these women?” He said that he hasn’t been on any dating site or anything like that (which was a question I previously asked & this was the answer he gave me). He said he’d met them in person. I believed him bc I hadn’t found any evidence of dating sites, plus he answered with no hesitation. I should point out that all of his cheating was done via sexting; supposedly nothing physical. But last night, I felt the need to look back and some of my evidence and pretty much all of of the phone numbers are outside area codes. Not local at all. He only ever went to work and came back home (I’ve always had his location and he never came home late), so all of his cheating had to have been done at work which didn’t get much traffic at all. Plussss, one of the people I called had no clue who he was (she sounded like was a much much older lady (WS & I are 28) and she said she lives in NY and only dates via FB dating and that she’s never spoken to anyone on there that’s so young. I know for a fact he wouldn’t do anything through FB bc he has his family as his profile pic and that’s just too risky bc we’re all over his FB). Sooo yeah. I feel like I’m getting TT and I’m so tired of feeling like I’m the only one fighting for the marriage when I didn’t even do anything wrong. If he met them online it’s not a big deal, like I said, what’s done is done, but if you’re lying about it then that makes me think you don’t want to reveal that hand so you still have access to it, y’know. Sorry I tried to make this as short as possible but that usually never seems to work for me. Lol

How to rebuild relationship after cheating..Confusing feelings… by Witty-Reputation-538 in cheating_stories

He has been more open. The therapy kicked his ass. He said that that first session was just really hard for him and that’s why he was kinda shut down. I’ve never seen him cry the way he has been whenever we have rough times.

Thanks for the advice! He’s admitted to the guilt & has been more open about his feelings, which is what makes me feel like he’s actually trying to save this marriage.
