my wife just recently admitted to cheating on me in 07 but she always said she just talked to the guy for a few days but nothing happen now she drops this on me..we got 2 kids and i dont know what to really im hurt like it happen yesterday i do need her for my girls... should i kick her out??

[stressed]

Why did she mention this now? Did you have an argument or did she tell you that over breakfast, as if it's not a big deal?

Has she mentioned any other guys over the years that she only had been talking with without anything more happening? How long have you been together? Did she explain why she did it? Have you had doubts she has cheated on you or did you trust her when she said it was just talk?

Do you think you can trust her from now on? Do you think you can sleep in the same bed with this person knowing that she's lied to you and has slept with another man?

There's a lot to think about before acting.

I always think, if someone confesses to something especially after this long, it's been eating at them or else, they see you differently, feel guilty and regret.

So, firstly you need to ask what was wrong with your relationship in 2007? 2006, 2005...

People don't seek elsewhere even for emotional attachment unless they are missing something.

If you can see, that maybe yes, you played a part in her what, lonliness, non-attentiveness, sure, it was way wrong... you leave before you decieve... my opinion...

But, not all think like that, get hit on, lied to, believe, think what they are missing they've got, still nieve, hurting, who knows.

Think back.

You'll never, forget ever... You may forgive if there is an understanding of why.

I agree with stressed and CW, that you need to look back and evaluate your relationship over the past few years. Maybe answer their questions so we have more of an idea of how to help.

When she confessed to cheating, did she say that she wanted to work things out with you? Did she seem truly upset about it happening? If you both want to give the marriage another chance and really work at it, you may not have to kick her out at all. As long as it's what you both want. You have a lot to think about before making any decisions.

But if you really feel like you can't trust her again, that's also a big problem that should be addressed.

I do agree with stressed, CW, and G&S. I think it's a point that the two of you really need to discuss. Try to set aside emotion and see what caused the incident, how things have been since then, whether she did it because something was lacking in your relationship, out of retalliation, spite, whatever.

How long have you two been together? How has your relationship been since 2007. I'd definitely wish to know why, 2 years later, she comes forward and admits it. Also realize that despite the betrayal of trust, it takes great courage to admit something like this. OTOH If she revealed it because it was weighting on her conscience, then one has to ask whether it was a wise more to burden you and your children's lives with it.

Try to talk and find out the reason but leave the ego (not a male directed thing but everyone has an ego) out of the picture as best you can. Then make a rational choice of how you wish to proceed.

Yes Hope, we got that from the Original threader, except for wear, ie) Walmart... !

He says, you say, there was no reason.

So, here's your chance if your his wife, what was the reason, why did you feel you needed to do this?

Forget that he can see things, so can I... You had no choice but to admit, it was in your eyes, or "her" eyes, if you are his wife.

Tell him then what made you want to stray..

Or tell him here...seeing as you've logged in... to reply..

We at least are there for both of you......understand that.


So also, what's his nickname? What do you fondly call him and why? because that plays a part in why you wanted to be with him..
