I Was Unfaithful, And Now I Am Caught

My wife and I have been married just over
4 years, together 5.
In my foolish weak moment, I had an
affair. That has ended.
When I brought a new computer recently, in
the transfer of information were photos of
myself with my lover.
My wife, looking for stored information
came across these photos.
"adulterer, terrible husband" we among her
comments. And she's right.
But, I still love her and have expressed
my willingness to do anything to put this
in the painful past catagory.
With the little shes said to me over the
last few days, the divorce word looms
large. I am terrified that it will
happen. It's all my fault, but can there
be hope to reconsile?

If I were married to you and you cheat on
me like that, absolutetly I would divorce
you. No hopes. See when you cheat you
destroyed the trust and what is a marriage
without trust? Hope you learned your
lesson and in a next marriage you won't do
the same thing.

You always need to turn the situation
around, what would happen if she did that
to you, could you trust her?
Good luck!

I totally agree with both comments. U
have completely devestated your wife and
her trust of what she thought she had with
u and the relationship that u had
together. In my opinion, cheating and
adultry is the biggest "slap in the face"
or betrayal in a marriage. U should ask
yourself are u sorry about the affair or
is it just that u got caught?? In my
opinion, once a cheat, always a cheat. U
almost got away with it once, so who's to
say that once she gets comfortable with u
again that u wouldnt do the same thing
again to her? And by the way, why were u
so stupid as to have pictures of a lover
on your computer? That makes me think
that u truely have no remorse and that u
only feel sorry for yourself and not your
wife!!!

I have divorced 2 women that cheated on
me. The major issue for me was and will
continue to be trust.
The sanctifying grace of marriage is trust
and you did not tell her about this
affair, she found out about it. 2 issues
with trust all in one go.
You need to give her space to figure stuff
out. You will not fix this by talking,
you might fix it with action, and the
first action is allowing her to cool off.
Ill post more later but it is time for
bed. Ill talk to you later, take it easy
tonight and maybe have a drink and go to
sleep. (on the couch)

Wow,yeah,if my man ever cheated on me we
would indefinetly be done for good.We made
a sort of promise that if one cheated on
the other it would be over no matter how
hard the wrong do-er tried to put a band
aid over it.There will always be a scar.

Cheating changes things forever. I
totally would be gone if I were her. I
have been there and done that! I couldn't
even look at my ex husband when he cheated
without experiencing nasea when I looked
at him. If you love her and you think you
want to work it out, I would recommend
counseling. Don't try to deal with this
alone.

I feel that cheating is not good. But
like god said, "forgive". A marriage that
is meant to be will have it's share of
problems.. If she does decide to take you
back do not make a habit or feel sje is
weak, if you two are really in love it
will work itself out.

Your post reeks of fear; fear for
yourself. You don't love her; you
love yourself. If you loved her,
you could never have done that to her.
The reason you are terrified is
because you are being tormented by
thoughts of her leaving and finding
another man; so right now, you're all
about the 'oh i'm so sorry; I was weak and
foolish'.
Chances are though, if and when she
forgives you, and you are once again
secure in the marriage, you will cheat
again the next time an opportunity
presents itself. Pfft.
If she has any sense about her, she will
leave you for dust!
Yeah, I had sex with another woman; kissed
her; caressed her; held her warm skin
close to mine, and smelled the sweet,
heady perfume on her neck.
But I still love my wife?

its highly doubtful.When
you love someone so much and they hurt
you,its hard for them to look you in the
eye,wondering how someone they love so
much could hurt them so deeply.Chances are
she still loves you but I wouldn't get the
idea in your head that she would stay with
you.Maybe you could try marriage
counseling? If you truly loved her you
would not have done such a thing.You only
feel bad now because you were caught.How
dumb was it to take pictures of you and
the woman you ahd the affair with? It
sounds like you were just asking to get
caught

I would like to say I hope she leaves you
but then again I think things can be
worked on if the feelings are still there
if not there your pretty much done, what
you did was wrong.
If you cant dedicate yourself to this
woman you are better off to leave her, you
broke your marriage vows big time and you
will always be in debt it takes seconds to
break a trust and years to build that
trust again. I dont think you understand
how bad you hurt her and I think you
should talk to find out where you
relationship is.
Like someone else said how can you promise
her you wont cheat again when you already
made a vow not too I certainly would have
kicked you out my door but im hoping she
can forgive you.

I can't blame her for leaving you - I
certainly would have. But if you want to
try and sort things out then give her some
time (alot of time) and while you are
doing that think about why you did it and
if you are sorry that you did have an
affair or if you are just sorry that you
got caught. Also think about what you are
going to do to make sure it never happens
again. You wife has lost all trust in you
and will no doubt feel disgusted, used,
extremely angry and incrediable hurt,
thats just to name a few. Some
relationships can survive an affair but
only if both people are committed to
making it work. Give your wife the space
she will need and after a while talk to
her about what I told you to think about,
let her abuse the s*&t out of you if
she wants (if nothing else, you owe her
that) most of all tell her how much you
regret what you have done to her and how
much you hurt her and let her know how
much you love her and need her in your
life. But just give her some space first
to grieve over what you have done. She
may want to give it another go or she may
not but all you can do is give it your
best shot.

My situation was kind of different, I was
17, my father cheated. He wanted to leave
our family, at least you want to stay with
your family, but I don't really blame your
wife for leaving you. It really destroys
your family, no matter how "small" the
situation is.
And one of the saddest momments I re-call
when I was just 7:
watching my father pack his stuff and
realizing I would never see him again.

When you take the vows, that's it. No
affairs.

My wife cheating is what is ending our 11
year marriage. I don't know what people
think or even think at all when they do
these things. But you really need to be
on the recieving end of a cheating
relationship to really get it in your head
how horrible it makes you feel. I think
if a person values the other person in the
relationship you wouldn't have even
thought twice about it. I think you
really don't love your wife or you
wouldn't have done it in the first place.
You probably deserve what you get. I know
my soon to be ex wife does.
