This is how the story goes. My sister and I went over the phone records again and we found a number that he has spoken with for up to 4 hours at a time. So, my sister called the number and pretended like it was the wrong number; it was a woman, of course. This and the fact that last night he texted me to tell me he was crashing at a friend's house because he was too tired to drive home pretty much seals his fate.

Oh Sarah....I'm so sorry. Of course you can't know until you have more proof but I'm sorry you are even having to suspect this.

I am so very sad for you and praying for you.

Are you going to confront him?

That's horrible. I definitely don't blame you for being suspicious. I would be suspicious too.

Did you get the girl's name by chance? You could look her up on Facebook to see if she's friends with him (assuming they both use Facebook).

It's probably not about you but about his guilty conscience if this is true.

I confronted him right away. He said no, of course. He said she was a good Christian friend trying to get him to stay with me. But, what would a married man be sneaking HOURS long phone calls to another woman if they weren't at least emotionally involved? I might be naïve but I'm not that niave. After our conversation about this other woman, he told me that without a shadow of a doubt he wanted a divorce...no more therapy, no more ministry.

I went through the same hing with my ex. I suspected he was cheating for a long time and of course he always said no that he would never do that. Then one day out of the blue he said he wanted a divorce. He told me if I got back on meds and changed some things we could work it out. He said he needed to separate while I did these things. I did everything he asked and then found out from a friend he had moved in with his girlfriend he had been cheating on me with when we separated.

I'm so sorry this is happening. I know how it feels. Hugs.

Sounds like a cheater to me if he says he wants to divorce.

Sorry that he's being such an @sshole. No one deserves that sort of treatment.

I don't know why people can't be faithful

How are you doing? That's awkwardly phrased but I hope you'll know what I mean; I realize you clearly aren't doing great.

Ok don't shoot me. Hear him out. Does he want to drop her and make all amends and work on your relationship? Or is he done. Are you willing to work at it and give him the chance to try again?

Everyone messes up once in a while. Just don't say things you don't mean, keep a cool head. Your marriage can be saved

I'd be angry too. Him needing a divorce after you confronted him on the issue is horribly manipulative. Someone with nothing to hide wouldn't respond this way.

No part of me wants a divorce. I love him and would do just about anything for him, probably even forgiving him for cheating. However, he is adamant that NO reconciliation will occur.

I'm doing so, so ******. My therapist agreed to see me again this week and I am SO glad about that. She also told me to take a Biblical stance on the matter by having Christian family members confront him and if that doesn't work (it won't) to have a minister from the church confront him (she already talked to one of our minsters). Even though this will most likely not work, I will know I've done everything I my power to try to reconcile.

My brother is going to talk to him about it.

I am SO GLAD that you have your wonderful therapist already in place if you must go through this time. She sounds very practical and I know that always feels calming to me when things are unbearable.

Please PM me if you need specific prayers or anything else.

Sorry for the harsh thread title and sorry for the language and for being hateful if I am. I know it may be an excuse but I am very, very upset and at my wit's end.

One thing I learned after my divorce (and I, much like you tried everything within my power to make him stay, but cheating is where I drew the line once I found out about it.) is that even though divorce is painful and awful. Getting divorced from a person who doesn't want to be with you or no longer can live with the person he hunks you've become is a far better choice for both you and your children. It takes two people to want a reconciliation to work, and shaming or coercing him with religion is likely only going to make him resent you and the family members who are helping you to convince him to stay. Even if this works and he decides to stay, it would be short lived and miserable. If he really wants a divorce and says his mind is made up, IMO it's better to give it to him and move on with your life. I am living proof that there are better things out there for you and your children.

As much as I wanted to bend over backwards and try to save my first marriage letting him go and moving on allowed me to find a man who is willing to walk to hell and back with me and my disease and treats my son as his own. On top of that I also got to move to Sweden, which was a life long dream of mine. Life won't end if your marriage does, it will just end a chapter in your life. You're allowed to have more than one great love. Perhaps your time with your current husband is up, but there is so much out there for you to discover that can enrich and enhance your life. I learned that living in misery just to hold onto someone who doesn't want to be held onto isn't worth it. Hugs.

That's the key, both parties have to both genuinely want it to work. It takes two people to fight for a relationship, and if one person refuses to fight it unfortunately leaves the other dead in the water. Having felt that feeling myself I don't wish it upon anyone.
