I am in a point in my life where i am confused. I am not sure what to do with my life, but in know it needs a change. I am only 20 but i feel 30, i have two wonderful kids, but a not so wonderful husband. About a month ago i caught him cheating. Now you must know that i was terribly upset i just dont get why. I always have felt that if you love someone that you wont hurt them in that way. We have only been married for two years but have been together for four years. Throughout the time we have been together i have found other females numbers in his phone. This was the first time he actually cheated by meeting up with the girl and doing what guys do best. He actually thinks that i should be over it now but i am not. I am so hurt, that i just dont know i feel the same way about him anymore. I am scared to be alone being that i am a mother of two already. He is my first love and the father of my kids. I am in school trying to help myself so i can provide for my children if somethin was to happen but he acts like its stupid for me to be in school. I do everything for him cook, clean, everything. But yet he says i am lazy and that i cant do anything right. I need some advice I just dont really have anyone to talk to about the situation. My family already does not like him so its hard to talk to them about it and my friends as well dont care for him. So am asking for some advice from someone that doesnt know us from joe blow on the street. I need help to figure this out. Thank you.

If you choose to stay then you have to 1 forgive him and 2 decide what your boundry lines are that he should not cross again. If you choose to leave, nothing says you have to do it right away. You can continue to go to school, get your self finacially okay to handle the seperation, and with that goal in mind you will be able to do it.
Jeo blow here thinks this. If your friends and family don't like him, there has to be a reason and you are refusing to open your eyes to that reason. He cheated because of issues he has, not you. If he does not resolve these issues then he will cheat again, that is statistics. I think you should get yourself a very good "I love myself" back bone and do this. Sit him down, let him know that your plans for the end of semester, or term, or when school begins to wrap up or when you have enough schooling you can get a decent job, don't know your feild or when that may be, and you will continue school during the job, what ever the date is you give it to him and set it for your self. You let him know, I love yopu but you have hurt me big time, you need to make amends for what you have done, you need to proove your self trust worthy, you've known me for 4 years, I think you can figure out how to do all that on your own, you are a big boy and it is your responsibility, not mine. You need to go to counceling or get on a therapy sight or something to help you figure out why you cheated and to make sure it does not happen again. If you do not do these things by this date, then I will have no choice but to leave you because I love me and deserve better. You are cabable of better but you are not sharing that with me. If you want to share a better life with me, then you need to choose to love your self and do it, I have made me and my feeling better my priority so I can help me and my kids, if you want the same for your self good, if not on this date I will be leaving. This is not an ultimatum. You have the right to choose what ever direction you want to go, just as I have the right to choose to be good to myself, and that includes having people in my life who are good to me too.

Do not argue with him. He will try to argue and debate this, do not do it. Also, be prepared that some of the actions you do will have influenced his desission to cheat. That means that say you are a giving person, but he may see it as smoothering, instead of talking to you, which he should of done, he cheated. Now this does not say that you are the reson he cheated, god no! But his inability to talk to you or a boss or a friend about habits they may have that he can't handle helped him choose to cheate because he refused to go talk to the person. Hope that makes since. Just saying if he chooses to get himself better, you may be into this whole therapy thing too, be prepared, it is worth it. In the mean time, while the date looms in the back ground, you continue to work on you and making you happy. Stay or go the way you feel about yourself is very important and when some one hurts us like this we have a tendancy to get down on our selves. Time to lift your spirits again and work on you not him. He has to work on himself. And he has to if he wants this to work. He has to if you want to beable to stay and get back to being happy. He has to or he will just end up doing it again to you or another relationship.
