Yes He Sleeps Around...and Yes I Love Him by biGPoppaSays(m): 7:35pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
This story was gotten from lailasblog and I would like to tackle this issue whilst you are free to also leave your comments. I am a 33yr old lady and married to a man of 49 yrs. We are blessed with 4 children. I am a hard working woman with a thriving supermarket in the South east and also contribute well in our finances-at home. My husband is from the South east too and he works in the banking sector. The marriage has reached a point where I have lost all respect and trust for my husband. Ever since we married in 2004, he has never stopped having extra marital affairs. Each time I catch him by checking his phone,he will deny but he keeps going back. Sometimes he will claim that the girls get his phone no without his permission and usually make the advances. 5 yrs ago he slept with a girl in his car and forgot to remove the evidence, that was the only time he accepted after denying and playing victim for 3weeks. Because of all the heart breaks I stopped checking his phone and was hoping he will change but 2weeks ago I was using his laptop to check my email when I found out his Facebook account was signed in. He tried to log out when I asked that he unlock for me to use since he pass worded it. I was inquisitive so I checked it out. 10 mins of reading his messages I was shaking and couldn't believe what I saw. He had lots of girlfriends and he even travelled to a resort with one,yet we have never done any holiday together because of hard economic times. I was so depressed I was finding it difficult to move on with my life. I had to confront him but as usual he started playing the victim claiming he is just having fun, chatting with them and doing dirty talk but I read otherwise from the messages so I know he was lying. Personally the marriage has lost its salt for me but I don't want to separate because of infidelity. I want to find a way to cope with it. So I am asking for advice on how to live my life in joy and happiness, not minding that I am married to a man that has continued to cheat and lie to me for the past 10yrs. Right now I have cut off conjugal relationship for fear of STD and he’s been giving me the silence treatment but I don't mind. Please any advice on coping mechanism to a faithful wife in an unhappy marriage’’. My aunt always gave us girls in the family, this one advice: Never trust a man. She would say even if he did everything right at home, brace yourself for the worst. I obviously didn’t give this advice much thought until I experienced it for myself in a relationship. Her advice may seem vindictive and depressing but it is a sad truth. I have always prayed to God to never be forced into divorcing my husband for any reason and I hope it happens that way because, a relationship is chicken change when compared to marital life. My dear, I pray God gives you grace to handle what you are going through and I must commend your determination to stay in that marriage. Not everyone would. My aunts advice for this situation is to focus on your kids. Bury yourself in them and their well being. Thank God you are blessed with kids. They can be sufficient distraction when you need one. At the end of the day though, they would grow up and leave the house. So what next? Get a hubby. Whatever it is that you do best, do it in your spare time, while you are not working. Honestly, silent treatment in a home is torment for both parties. For this purpose, I will always be grateful for my mother. Every man is afraid of a woman that keeps them quiet. Quiet here doesn’t mean silent treatment but acting like all was well with the world. He comes home, and there’s food waiting for him. Draw him a bath. Gist with him when you feel like it and never let him see your tears. I cannot assure you of instant results but over time, I believe he would be forced to rethink his actions. Most importantly, pray. Nothing works better than prayers. The only person that should see you crying is God. He will definitely satisfy you. So take heart and be strong because the road ahead of you might be harder than you can possibly imagine but his grace is sufficient for you. Also, trying keeping these marital issues to yourself as not all friends are out to help you. With little intrusion from outside and half hazard advises from different people, you will be more focused and less likely to get into a fight with your husband. |

Women are their own worst enemies. Why should a woman accept such bulshit and be advicing others to do same? Where is the joy in marriage? This is stupidity and I am sure the OP is giving this as an advice to our ladies to sitdown and accept their men no matter how sad the home is. Women, demand respect and you will get same. No partner in marriage deserves to be cheated on and treated like they are worthless and then are expected to pray, dress well, avoid sex, and be kind. We all deserve love and respect male and female 2 Likes |

Oh Lord! So some women still reason like this. Such a heartless man she has for a husband. I really feel for her. Staying for your kids sometimes may not help. Despite the number, having four kids is a wonderful thing and also a major reason you should be strong and keep living. I dislike divorce like hell but still this alone is very disheartening it could break your life into shambles! You need to just move on without him. Depression is real and it kills fast. May God be her strength in such a trying situation like this. 1 Like |
