writes: My husband and I have been married for 16 years, we have two children ages 9 and 10, I caught him at this girls house 5 years ago, and he said he was helping her thru issues and they were friends- dumb me right- I believed him. I ask him to not talk or see her again, he said he would not. It took me these last 5 years to get over it and move on, I really thought everything was going great, so one day I got curious and followed him, He went to her house, I knocked on the door confronted him, after punching him in the face a few times I let him talk. He said we needed to go somewhere else to talk. he did not want to talk in front of her house. he told me everything, that it had been going on for 5 years on and off, and that she threatened him to tell his job, and his family, he tried to break it off several times, but she wouldn't let it go, she would drive by our house, call me and hang up, and other things, almost like a fatal attraction. He didnt know how to get away, he lived in fear. After he was confronted he said he was so happy that I knew so he could be free of it. The reason he didnt want to tell me is because I once told him if he did anything like that to me and the kids I would leave and he would never see them again, and that would kill him, he says he sacrificed hiself for his kids, he also said he never stopped loving me. He said he hates this girl and was only playing her until he could figure out a way to get out of it without her telling me or trying to destroy his job, he admitted he made the mistake of getting involved in the first place, but lived in regret from then on. I want to believe all this, but I'm havn a real hard time. Do i leave, or do i stay and hope its all true and that he has learned his lesson?

You should ask him to write a book and split the profits because with creativity like that, you could make millions! Any man who claims he had sex with another woman over a 5yr period as a sacrifice for he's kids is directly insulting your intelligence. Noone trapped your husband, he commited adultery willingly. The question now is whether you want to fall in the same hole he dug last time or not.

I get so mad at these people who go out their way to destroy a marriage. He doesn't sound as if he's worth it. This will hurt the children more than anyone. I hope he remains in contact with them, for their sake.

So he was more afraid of his girlfriend than he was of you? He hated her so much that he kept sleeping with her? It must've been so difficult for him to get an erection with her over the past 5 years! And he did it all for the sake of his kids.
He's been working on this story for a while. I hope you

Lies, lies and more lies. If you believe him then sadly you are a bigger fool and he would get away with his cheating. Your HB is an adulterer and to add insukt to you he thinks that by concocting this shitty story you will be foolish enough to believe him. Shame he was so scared of his lover that he obeyed her every sexual wish, shame he really felt bad sneaking to her, 6*cking her brains out and then sadly coming home to his wife and kids. Shame when she was blowing him he was hating her. Shame when he was doing Anal sex with her he was hating her. What a piece of sh1t he is. He did not want to talk at her home only bec he knew that he could wrap you around his little finger and continue to manipulate you. He has no respect for you, he cannot be trusted and damn he will not change. He should not blame his lover, she did not betray you HE DID. This man is unbelievable. He has been having sex with his lover for 5 years yet blames her for not telling you he was cheating.

Tell him you at least need some time apart, which is totally reasonable. Separate from him, move out, and see how quickly he goes back to her or finds someone else (I'm guessing it won't take long). He's just a liar. Its not important for him to be honest with you. There isn't much you can do to change that. Best of luck to you, be brave!

He's full of crap. He knew what he was doing, and if he truly wanted out he could've gotten out. He's been rehearsing his speech that he gave you for quite a long time now and even probably convinced himself that what he was telling you is the truth.
He hasn't changed. And he definitely hasn't learned his lesson. Leaving is up to you, but don't stay because you think his story is true because it is not.

He didn't learn his lesson when you warned him 5 years ago.
He is also gutless, unable to face up to the consequences of his actions.
And that is if he is telling the truth.
