I don't have a problem making her win your trust back, but I don't think you can string her along for years either.

Dude, that is a sweet Iceman poster. I wanted that when I was a kid.Do all insurance companies do this?
You sound like you got burnt hard? How did you find out? Did you taste his *** when licking your girlfriends *****?I went through a similar situation such as yours, but mine was worse. I'm not going to get into it other than to say that what you are doing is never going to last and you are going to be screwed over hard when all is said and done.
Women are interesting creatures...they come up with weird logic for what they do....often things make no sense, but they act on impulse anyways. Anyways, you caught her cheating on her 'third' time....riiiiight..she has cheated before, you know it, you yourself said there was a history of promiscuity, so right there we know she has issues, and if she is attractive and works out in the working world like you are inferring, I guarantee she is getting hit on nonstop and that is part of the issue.
Mind you, it does not sound as if you are addressing this at all, but whatever...to continue, what you are doing is creating this emotional safety net for yourself, even though to be honest, there are two damaged parties here. If you do not think a person like her will get the wheels turning in her head at some point and turn this around on you, you are in for a tall glass of diarrhea mixed with grandpa's oily corn kernels. By turning this around on you, stop for a second and think about what I mean. What kind of twisted crap could a woman dream of if you cornered her and made her feel helpless? There are many, many ways for her to attack you.
I mean, you are sitting here telling us that you are doing it for the kids. Guess what, her behavior shows that she doesn't give two rips about the kids!!! She demonstrated that by having unprotected sex with other dudes. All she cares about is herself, which is the root of the problem. If you want her to stay with you for whatever reason, this is what you have to tackle. If you can pull it off, your marriage/partnership is saved and you can be a bigger man, a true hero. Otherwise, give it a little time before she flips the script on you. Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned...you know that is true right? A guess what else? If you guys end up in court contesting placement and what not, nobody is going to care about her affair, but they will probably consider what you are doing some sort of emotional abuse. That isn't fair, but get ready to lose all access to your kids if you give her enough time to plot her revenge.
Either get back together with her all the way or leave with a solid plan of 50/50 custody and some financial autonomy. What you are doing is crazy.

Found this thread today. Would love to get an updateIt's been almost six months since I learned of my wife's affair. We had been together a little more than 10 years, and have three young kids. She is totally repentant and wants desperately to make things work. I was dizzy the last few months. Now that the dust has settled, and I have mentally stabilized, I am realizing I probably won't ever love her again.
Has anyone here made it work with a spouse who cheated?
If not for the kids, we would split for sure. My biggest fear is what my daughters would learn from Mommy's behavior if she were unchained. Actually, my biggest fear is an Adrian Peterson kind of scenario. I think the kids are safer if we stay together. Where I live, custody would be 50/50.
I did file for divorce. I can't call her my wife and be able to look at myself in the mirror. But I told her she could stay and I'd give her another chance; rather, give a chance to the "new person" she says that she is. So in a few weeks we will be secretly unmarried.
Have you tried punching your wife in the face?I'm around 40 and while I've been in fights, I never punched someone squarely in the face. If there is a silver lining to this, that desire might be fulfilled if I ever run into him.Everyone handles anger differently. I'd need to pummel the guy. Banging his wife would make me feel much better too, no shtick.No women is worth that. No way in hell do I go out and look to fight the guy she's sleeping with. It's all on her, not him. Nor would I do anything that would land me in prison either. If I do that, then I'm really the loser. The best thing to do in cases like that is to leave her and give your life a reboot.I def could never love ever again.
I'd also let her family know what a lying whore she is. Then, I'd prob hunt the dude down... If he knew she was married, he'd prob be in for a #### storm too... If he was married, I'd also go and try to nail his wife.
Sorry about the bad break.

Over the course of my investigation:Found this thread today. Would love to get an update
When you bring 3(!) kids into the world you owe them to do everything possible to remain married. If it's not possible (too much fighting, anger being directed to the kids) then get out, but not until every alternative has been tried.
While it might be tough , you should focus not on her affair but what you failed to do as a husband that forced her to seek out another man.
Sorry to hear. Seems like a waste of $$ divorcing if you are open to another chance. Why not emotionally separate while giving that chance and save the money on the legal proceeding.I did file for divorce. I can't call her my wife and be able to look at myself in the mirror.

Probably would be great advice if you could just send it 9 years into the past…Sorry to hear. Seems like a waste of $$ divorcing if you are open to another chance.

Took me a second. Had to reread the posters name. Man that was a good one.When you bring 3(!) kids into the world you owe them to do everything possible to remain married. If it's not possible (too much fighting, anger being directed to the kids) then get out, but not until every alternative has been tried.
Hey, look at this guy telling other people they 'owe' somebody else. Will you look at that!

Is he still on here?While it might be tough , you should focus not on her affair but what you failed to do as a husband that forced her to seek out another man.
Now that I'm friends with this guy in RL and know his real persona, this is soooooo on brand for him.
Curious as well. Strange response. Basically her affair was his fault.Is he still on here?While it might be tough , you should focus not on her affair but what you failed to do as a husband that forced her to seek out another man.

Baloney Sandwich? I don't think so. He was using another alias for awhile, but I haven't seen him around here. We're in a football league together and he LOVES to stir it up, so it was funny reading his post here. Dude is equal parts Al Bundy, Archie Bunker and that weird High T guy that got arrested in Romania for sex trafficking.
