writes: My husband cheated on me with prostitutes, I had just gave birth to my first child. I had no clue he was sleeping around, I found this out about a year ago. We are still together but it's not the same, everytime I see him I think of how he hurt me. I get a sick feeling everytime I'm close to him, the only reason I stayed is because we have a beautifull little boy who need both of us. Do you think I should stay with my husband?

He needs help - I would arrange to leave and make sure that he agrees to see a pshhiatrist if he is going to be part of your childs life. Also don't leave the child alone with him until he has proved he is a capable father - you don't need him being lax with care and seeing strange woman with the little boy around. Take care - be strong and carry on!

Oh gross! I'd feel sick to my stomach too!
You've been with him for a year since this all came out? How has he been since you found out? Has he been faithful, open, honest, and actively trying to rebuild your trust and is a good dad, or is he apathetic and testy with you for bringing it up??
You must have agreed to work it out with him, but if you feel you can't or he won't, then leave him. You'll be doing your kid a favor by not subjecting him to a home like that.

Listen to me, how is this tension healthy for your son. I dont think shuttting the father out of his life is the answer eitheir. I think you should leave him and mutually give him time to spend with yall son. Good luck

If you truly cannot reconcile with your husband, I think you would be happier with your own life without him, and your little boy would have a chance to not live in a household full of tension and pent-up anger.
