    Default Husband is a nurse and works night shifts only (by his choice) & may be cheating...=(

    Does anyone else work at a hospital at night time? Do people mess around? What is it like? He works the Intensive Care Unit. I have no idea who his coworkers are. I have told him that I don't like him working nights, yet he still chose to do so. We don't spend that much time together...sex has def decreased. He seems like he enjoys going to work all the time. It is impossible for me to go spy on him at his work...and I can't afford to hire a p.i. right now. He has pretty much cheated on me one year into our marriage (our 2nd yr now). I caught him emailing some girl from craigslist. He has cheated on me while we were dating too.
    He thinks everything is fine. He is very sweet to me. and I am soo attached to him. But i need to find out....how, is the question. He knows I check his computer so he doesnt leave any trace there.

    Default I wish I could help on this...

    I have heard before that nurse's are some of the most sexual women there is. This is from a source that should know it...Being in the field, they constantly are aware of the sexual parts of people and jokes can arouse the sexual feelings that are TRYING to stay dormant. It was a nurse that years ago in our marriage when he was going to school, that every night he was at class tried to get him to go out with her....I vaguely remember him saying something but that was years ago and I was too young and not aware of the sexual power that my man held over women. In other words I was st*pid. He did not go out with her and I thank God for this every day. This and a more powerful situation by a woman have rocked my boat just realizing that I could have lost him. I only found out about this about 10 months ago.

    Women are hot and horny. When my husband had surgery within the last ten years, a young nurse said this to me. I had told my husband to cover himself before he got up. She said that many of us nurse's don't wear underwear either, so not to worry. She was young and stu*id and hot. He was high on morphine and played right into her hands. For that I just about castrated him when he got home. You see he, too, is a hunk....

    We just found out about a friend of ours that we have known for a long time. His wife is a nurse. She works night shifts too. They have four children probably ages 9 to 20. She is very attractive and he is a neat and nice guy. They are getting a divorce. It has torn him apart. She decided not to stay true to her marriage vows and play house with someone else.

    I think the quiet of the hospital.....The neat outfits they wear.....And the horny women all contribute to the for the women of these men.....All the good looking Dr. Kildare type and let's face it most of us women fell in love with our OB's to start. If they were good looking, like mine was, you would be back there pregnant within a year....I know, I was ....

    It is so hard when you love them to death but the rest of the world does too....Maybe doing private work or take away the temptations.....When a man is young and good looking and so few of them around, I feel for you.....I hope all works out for you.....

    While I certainly understand you suspecting him possibly cheating (because of past events) also keep in mind that it's possible that he may just prefer the shift. My sister has been a nurse for over 20 years and for quite a number of those years she has worked the evening shifts because she said that it was a slight bit easier/quieter because not much went on at night with the patients sleeping.

    Don't blame everything on him...So much of it is the fault of the women that want him....I know this from just leading my own life with my husband....They are just plain sexually hungry and he is in a hot job with temptations coming out his ears....

    With too many women... each man is fair game.....I sure found this out...

    But the blame WOULD be all on him if he cheated (def. not saying he is!). HE has a responsibility to his wife- the other woman does not, even though decency would dictate she should.

    I'm not a nurse, but I have to agree. I worked at night for a few years. It was tiring, but I did it because it was quieter, for the extra pay, and because it freed up my days for other things that I wouldn't normally be able to do if I worked during the daytime. I don't know if any of these things would apply to your husband, but I think that most nurses (at least the one's that I know who work in hospitals) are too busy running between patients making sure they get their meds and treatments on time, and at night there are fewer staff to care for the patients. My sis-in-law complained about all of the paperwork she would have to keep up with, because everything is documented and if someone misses a treatment or a dose of medicine, someone will want to know why. Intensive care, I think, would be one department where a nurse has to be totally into his or her patients. I would imagine it would be difficult for a nurse to carry on an affair during work hours, even at night. Outside of work is another story.

    I am not talking about an affair at the hospital but meeting each other...The nurse I talked about who made the wise remark was probably a Practical Nurse and the words should have never been spoken but they were. To me the people working at a hospital seem to be very close.

    Yet going there you look at them like some kind of God like people. They have the power of life and death. Simple folks become something that they aren't. A married man is simply a man. Maybe the same as it is everywhere only they wear the neat clothes that will turn a head and just maybe make a heart skip a beat if the guy is good looking.

    This can put a man who is innocent in a rough place for he is put on a pedestal that he has not even created and made special without knowing it. I guess I have always looked at doctor's and nurse's as pretty special people because they control my life....

    I am sure I am all wet on this thread so I will retire and lick my wounds....Sorry....

    I guess i am a little bit confused as to "why" you so desperately need to know.

    And, the reason for this is because, you said he cheated on you when you were dating, he cheated on you in your first year of marriage and you are now in your second year and you want to know.

    Does that mean, you forgave him when you were dating, forgave him when he did it in your first year and if you find out that he is again, you'll forgive him this time as well, but you'll know.?

    You also say that he is "sweet to you".

    Well yes. You keep forgiving. I pose the question to you, of WHY you need to know this time, and hope that it's because you want to tell him that you've HAD ENOUGH or goodbye.!!!!!!!

    I worked for 17 years in the Hospitality Industry which is totally different and my cousin has been a nurse for 25 years.

    Sure, Nurses look at Doctors and fall in lust, as teenagers look at teachers and do the same, and waitresses look at the bosses, if they have charisma which most do if they own a chain of restaurants as it is a people industry.

    But, i would say being a Nurse is a rewarding job in as much as you are helping the sick. I would say that like attracts like, that the other nurses and staff chose the positions for the same reason, not money, as they like looking and helping after the sick. Perhaps, the staff on at night are great to work with. Perhaps though, they are un-attached as what wife / husband can have a great relationship when he/she works nights and she days.

    But, it's eating at you because you've seen it all before and with him.

    Create a function, where they are all invited over for a BBQ including your friends, tell him to invite them as they are his friends and watch for body language perhaps.

    But, if he changed to a day job, i am sure, you'll be asking the exact same question here again because YOU'VE BEEN CHEATED ON and it seems to me that you are accepting it....

    Now, once okay, twice, it is more than likely that there will be a third, as you accepted 1 and 2.

    I guess i'm just not sure as i said, why you need to know unless you intend to finally do something about it.

    Best wishes though.

    I had hoped that someone would bring this thread up again....Seeing I did not want to double post, I was happy to see this appear..

    The one thing that can cause a possible affair in this field is the speciality of it....These are interesting people who work there...They share this expertise in a very rewarding field...They will sit for hours discussing a case that mean so much to them but then come home to their spouse. Problem being this means nothing to the spouse and they have a hard time unwinding.... This is the explanation that I heard from a young doctor-to-be about a marriage that was going under. I told him I would have thought just the opposite that you would want to get away from the surroundings and talk about life and all the things that are not in this merry-go-round of life. His answer was maybe because I am just getting started but the thrill of being in that place and someone to talk to about this and understand me and my work means so much to me.

    Remembering this thread without reading it over, I believe she said her husband always wanted to be there...That could be the thrill of the Intensive Care Unit alone....This is a life and death situation and his is a very important job....I guess with this in mind I would say try and understand his job and get as close to him as you can.....Be all that you can be as a wife and hopefully he will be all that he can be as a husband....TC, C

    Now if I will remember to put my post on the spell check, it will look better. Forgot last time and two errors...
