How do you get over a cheating husband?

August 8th, 2009
Atheona asked:

I found out that my husband has been cheating on me about 3 months ago. He’s apparently been doing it ever since we were dating. I agreed to giving him a second chance but for some reason I can’t stop thinking about it. I constantly see him with her and wonder where he is. Someone please help me!!!

    Ditch him.
    He doesn’t seem like he cares,or the one for you.
    Your one wouldn’t hurt you at all.
    And wouldn’t think twice about cheating.
    You sound like you deserve better. :)

    cheat back and see how he likes it.

  6. August 20th, 2009 at 00:22 | #6

    You might want to move on. If he has done it all along why would he stop now?

    Find yourself a guy, screw his brains out and record it on a home movie. Then give it to your husband to watch so he can completely understand the way you have been feeling!

    I say, divorce him, he is NOT worth your time and effort and I’m SURE you will find someone better that WON”t cheat on you

    you don’t get over the treason, you move on, and eventually forget about it, but it takes time, but taken that all your relationship has been one big lie, i wouldnt give him another chance, i would divorce him and take him for whatever he has.

    I was with a cheating husband for years. I found out about a couple, of course there was more…did I really think that I was so “on top” of it that every time he cheated I found out? Of course not. I never got over it. I could put it in the past and not bring it up. But I never forgave (as far as he knew I did) and I never forgot. I held a lot of resentment that I didn’t even know existed till the end. When I finally woke up and realized that I didn’t love him any longer, it rocked his world. I was over him and moved on long before he knew it was coming.

    He’s always going to cheat. If you can deal with that fact, then there’s no need to break up. But if you can’t leave now. You’re only setting yourself up for more hurt.

  12. September 1st, 2009 at 06:25 | #12

    Packing his sh*t up, throwing it out the door, and changing the locks would help a lot.

    You have to realize that this wasn’t your fault. He’s to blame for this, he’s the one that chose to be unfaithful and go outside of the marriage. So the first thing is to not beat yourself up over HIS choice. You have to try and put all this behind you. It’s going to take some time to get over this. It helps if you can forgive him, it’ll help with finding inner peace with yourself, so that you’re not angry deep down inside. The past is the past and even though you can’t change it you can learn from it. You can take something bad and turn it into something positive. I think forgiving him is key to being able to move forward with your life. Sure, it still hurts and it’ll take you some time to deal with it, but you can do it.

    I assume anybody I’m with will cheat, and I’m okay with that as long as I don’t find out, he’s home for dinner, and I remain the numero uno in his life. When he has a relationship, now that’s crappy.

  15. September 5th, 2009 at 23:14 | #15

    I am sorry to hear that, but the truth is, you can forgive but you can never forget. It’s very hard. You will never feel the same again when it comes your husband. If you really want to give your husband a second chance, fiirst you need inner healing, your inside needs to be healed, you have to learn to love yourself differently, putting your passion in life first instead of your relationship is a good start. When you are able to find ‘liberation’ in within yourself, that is when you are letting go and hopefully it will leads to a new beginning for your relationship with your husband provided if he is a changed man.

    A 2nd chance, you might as well have slapped him on the wrist and let him bring the girl home. That is a terrible feeling, to feel seconded after saying your I DOs! You need to get out of this quick and easy. You should hold your head up and be a women you where BORN to be. No women should ever feel 2nd in a marriage, cheating is not a way to deal with problems. If everything was fine an dandy then he must have issue with himself. You giving this man his cake an Ice cream. I think you should, take his plate and shove it right in his face! Make him miss what he had, because hunny what he had was nothing compared what you will have after this. Its called carma, and if you put all your love and might into this and strips it all from you and make you feel weak and stupid…… it will call back to to the both of you twice and much! You need to surround yourself with family and friends! Lots of love and laughs because it will be hard, BUT NO NOOOO NOOOOO WOMEN, DESERVES TO BE FEEL 2nd…. WE DESERVE NOTHING BUT THE BEST IN A MARRIAGE! GO GET YOUR RESPECT BACK AND KICK OUT THE DOG!

    It is better to be separated from him. Earliest is the BEST.

  18. September 14th, 2009 at 02:23 | #18

    I will be honest with you. You will never feel the same way about him again. I had this happen to me and I tried to talk myself into forgetting but I couldn’t. The fact he lied and broke our vows was more than i could handle. I felt like trash and they were the ones who were gutter trash. I still think about it and it has been 27 years ago. You can stay together but it will never leave your mind. You can forgive him for it but it will never be totally forgotten. I finally divorced him.

    Set your sights on the future and if you can snatch his butt up and straighten him out…do so.
    Your future and his depends on you now!

    You’re not ready to forgive him yet. Drop the pretenses and let him know he messed up. Go with your feelings, if he brings up a lot of anger and hurt.. do what YOU need to do to alleviate your pain. Have a trial separation, spend time with people who do care about you, take a vacation (w/o him, of course).

    When you’re ready to deal with the reality of the situation… seek marital counseling. If he’s serious about making your relationship work, he will do whatever it takes to get back on your good side.

    Also lay down some fundamental ground rules– ex: under no circumstances is he to contact the other woman again. Give him consequences– if he does contact her again after he told you he wouldn’t, then you will pack his bags, change the locks, and kick him out of the house. Be sure to follow through, otherwise he will lose respect for you and repeat this cycle yet again.

    there’s no way to get over it, but you can get through it and you will stronger and more self sufficient than before. G/L

  22. September 17th, 2009 at 05:51 | #22

    Pack up and go, or change the keys while he is gone and leave his bags at the door. You won’t get over it-he won’t stop cheating and your self respect will suffer more than you know. Pack it in and rebuild your life. Good Luck!

    Get rid of him. Once someone has cheated, even if you can forgive them, you will never forget it. It will be there haunting your relationship. Once someone has cheated it will always be in your mind “why are they late? Are they cheating again?” Not every offense deserves a second chance. I know I could never get past it.

  24. September 21st, 2009 at 06:21 | #24

    wow, since you were dating?! leave him. splash water in his face, burn his clothes, punch him in the nads, and leave

  25. September 22nd, 2009 at 11:21 | #25

    You get over it by taking back the power. You were cheated on and lied to and betrayed. Now you decide what you want. If you want the marriage to survive, you set the groundrules. He abides by them or leaves. It might also be worth a temporary separation (making him move out) and insisting that he woo you back.

    If it’s not worth it, or if you can see he won’t change and you can’t live with that, just divorce him and move on. It’s hard and painful and you have to do a lot of pretending, but the fact is, he is not worth your love and one day you will wake up and realise that you don’t actually give a c**p what happens to him, you’re just happy to be who you are. That day is worth struggling towards with all your courage and will power!

    I would not stay with a man that had been cheating since before we got married. Your marriage is a lie. How can you look at him. I would be getting rid of him. This man lied to you on your wedding day.

  27. September 27th, 2009 at 10:50 | #27

    being as though you are willing to give him another chance shows that you want your marriage. for both of you to have a healthy marriage its going to require a lot of hard work from both of you and forgivess (from you) to move on.

    If you haven’t done so truly forgive him for what he did, dont keep bringing it up in arguments or conversations but honestly accept and deal with your feelings about what happened and forgive him. yes its easier said than done but this is part of the process if you want to salvage the marriage.

    on his part he has a lot of work to do as well… he is going to have to build his trust back up with you. this means checking in with you, being open about where he is and who he is with etc…not hiding things that he is doing…making you feel as comfortable as possible during this time..

    i’m not sure if you have been to counseling yet but definately go for yourself to help deal with the situation..also go together if he is willing to go..

    There is no worse feeling in the world than jealousy and not being able to trust your man. If this marriage is going to work out at all, then he has to prove to you that he is trustworthy and he has to work really hard to regain your trust. He must not ever see this other woman again, no excuses, never, for the marriage to work out. You might be able to trust him again if enough time passes and if he is remorseful enough, and I mean truly remorseful, for the rest of his life. If he is not sorry, then dump him or you will have a lifetime of horrible feelings ahead of you…..

    Let him go, once a cheater, always a cheater.

  30. September 30th, 2009 at 23:57 | #30

    It needs a great dose of love and forgiveness to give your husband a second chance; if you’re not sure his love for you is strong and lasting, it’s not worth even trying to fix your marriage ’cause the image of the two together along with more and more doubts concerning his whereabouts are going to haunt you. Do you really want to spend your life wondering if he’s really at the grocery store or hanging out with another woman ? Trust is fundamental in a relationship, but he destroyed it by cheating on you. Then, honey, it’s up to you : can you live with that ? I couldn’t go on living with my husband in such a predicament. I am very sorry for the way you must be feeling; time will heal, in a way or another.

    The git definitely deserves to die all alone. No cosy wifey-wife, no hot mistress. Everyone should just ditch him! Let him burn in hell of his own misery. But the thing is, he’s gonna find (a) fresh victim(s) sooner or later…
