Hi
recently I found out my husband had cheated on me when we were first dating, this is something I can not really get mad at because it was before we were serious. It was a Girl he actually stopped seeing to start dating me. They had never been intimate before while they were dating. When he and I first moved in together he left for about 5 days he stayed with his brother but would see me during the days and see this woman during the nights he wanted to see if he was sure about US nothing intimate happened then between them ( so they both say) ok I can forget this as well.
The issue that is bothering me is that he continued to be friends with this Woman Keeping it a total secret from me for the past year he has been carrying on phone conversations with her and once in awhile stopping by for a visit . most of the time it has been when we got married , around Holidays or when we found out I was pregnant, Life advents like that ones you would share with a friend. Then this year there were 8 days of straight phone calls to her then he called her maybe 3 times in the next week or so and completely stopped.( goofy man handed me his cell phone bills every month I never paid attention to who he called until last week) Since then we have gotten a new cell phone. And No one knew our number.
He stopped by his sister in laws mothers house for a visit last week afterwork to see his niece, she asked if they could use his cell phone to call her mother to come get her He handed her the phone and let her make a call the niece is friends with this OTHER WOMAN, so she purposely called her and another place with caller ID to get My Husbands new Cell Phone Number. So they started to call him again.
I went to use the phone found the numbers and called them my self. They all tell me He had an affair with this woman . So I lost it!!!!! Of course who wouldn't . When I questioned the number he LIED and told me it was a Guy friend's SO I called it! He finally after 3 days confessed everything to me that he did Cheat on me but we were barely dating that he did leave me for her once but realized he was in love with me. That he has stopped by to see her once in a blue moon and that he called he because she was a friend. I feel betrayed like he has kept this from me for at least a year . He thought I would get mad because they still were friends. I am more mad over his lies becuase a long time ago I asked him who's number that was and He said the Same Guy Friends and I believed him.
What made him feel the need to carry on this secret friends ship with her . She is supposedly hoplessly in love with him according to her Mother. I called her my self and she said she has only seen him 2 times in the past 3 months and once his sister in law and niece was there. She claimed they were just friends and she even said she wanted to get to know me as well. She asked me if I minded if She and My husband could remain friends . I told her I thought it was unacceptable !!!!!!!!!!
I want to forgive my husband for this , I want to get on with our marriage I am almost 6 months pregnant with his son, and I have 2 children from a previous marriage that consider him their Dad. I would be breaking their hearts and mine if I left. He has appologized and says he will never contact her again, and sounds genuine. How can I stop being suspicious and watching his every move?
Thanks for reading my long post !!
