Dear sister

how can you cheat your husband who is only person taking responsibility of every one in the family.

i feel your letters are dubious attempt to justify your cheating .. i can not connect...i do not love....etc etc etc..

in my opinion you are the culprit than you gentleman and hardworking and responsible husband.

it is time to either stop fooling every one including yourself or announce to every one that you are a cheater and you cheated to every one in the family

your husband supported you in all your problems and in the end this is what he is getting. I am sorry for being truthful which may be blunt but it may help you from destroying every thing that you have got.

other wise leave your husband and get him a truly loving and faith ful women

My condolences, sweetheart.

If you are married and you have children, you are obligated to make at least one serious effort to make it work. That means having a serious (not confrontational) conversation with your husband, telling him how you feel but acknowledging that you would like to have a happy marriage with him if at all possible. Think about it: it would be better for your kids and better for you and your husband if you could work it out (not to mention a lot cheaper than a divorce). TRY to work it out -- TRY to get some counseling. There are places that will help you. Start with a local pastor if you don't know where else to go (even if you aren't currently going to church). Divorce is devastating, and usually leaves the wife and children in poverty.

Whatever you do, though, do NOT tell him about your FB friend. That's a good way to enrage him and you could end up losing your kids.

janniepeg agony auntWhen you married him the vows you exchanged were that through sickness and strength you'll love him. He's the most important person in your life. Listen to his side of the story. When you said you being treated like a doormat I think of a man yelling out orders do this do that, giving her silent treatment, complaining about everything single thing from work to how the kids behave to how the house looks like, then go to sleep. Is that what it has become? Can he pinpoint to where his anger came from? Such as feeling neglected, overstressed, unappreciated, worries about money? Before I assume all this is he as bad as it sounds like? Do you feel safe expressing your feelings and can you do so in a calm manner? You know the only thing good about having is that you know you are still wanted by men, other than that it does nothing to solve your problem.
