Husband doesn't like being with me in Public

Tagged as: Cheating, Marriage problems<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (28 November 2010) 9 Answers - (Newest, 29 November 2010)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I'm 38 and married to a younger man. He and I have great chemistry at home (awesome, in fact) but he completely withdraws and doesn't want to be with me in public. I love to dance and he will not dance with me in public although he will dance with others if he is out without me. I find this very painful and the last time this happened I threatened to leave and he didn't want me to leave. I'm often receiving compliments that I am beautiful and attractive and I've had other chances with men but I'm so stuck on my husband...we've been married 9 months and he's actually told people he was with me for a green card (he's here illegally). He slept with one woman already after we married. He's lied to me quite often but says he is changing. Is there any hope for this or should I just move on?

Currently you are accepting to be with a man who has blatantly used you to be legally (or illegally) in a country, he has cheated on you and won't be seen with you in public - this is abuse. I think you are avoiding the reality. The reality is you need to get out of this mess but he has undermined your confidence. Is this really what you had dreamed of for yourself? Save your soul and leave - and do it soon.

I feel this man is purely using you for his own benefit. He seems very selfish, unfaithful, and perhaps somewhat manipulative and arguably controlling. It may be best to re evaluate things here. In my opinion, this is not a good and healthy marriage or relationship. Good luck.

Actually if immigration knew of him sleeping around your marriage would be no good at all. The would claim that both of you lied on official papers. You don't have a marriage and he's trying to make it to the two year mark. At that point he can make it without. Its almost count down time for him.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntHe has already revealed his true intentions. He is only with you for a Green card. To me, the fact that he is reluctant to be seen with you in public is quite disturbing, considering the fact that you are his wife, and the fact that he has cheated on you in the past. His behavior gives you all the more reason to be distrustful of him and in my honest opinion, it seems as though he is wasting your time and devotion. Your kind heart has to move on and find someone who will cradle it with all the love you give him.

I hope that helps.

How much younger is he? This sounds a little sketchy to me. There should be no reason why your husband should be embarrassed of you out in public.. and the fact that he cheated is also crappy. Why are you so stuck on this guy if he treats you like that? I know it hurts honey, but you need to wake up and see the writing on the wall..he's using you. Of course he treats you okay at home because you are probably cooking for him and giving him sex... am I right? But then he has no problem getting it elsewhere outside of the house. I don't even know what to say... what an a-hole. Get a divorce before he wastes anymore of your time. People don't change. Don't you want a husband who treats you well? We aren't getting any younger and you are wasting time with someone who makes empty promises when you could be using that time to find someone honest. Good luck.

Wow.

I can tell you're in a lot of pain, because you truly love this man and went willingly and with the best intentions into this relationship, but...you're being used. You've stated it yourself, without any need to sort through hints or subtleties about what this person is doing:

- snubs you in public

- sleeps around

- lies

- married you for a green card (!!!!!)

And that's just what you've expressed here, let alone the other hurtful things I'm sure you've endured and still do. I'm all for trying to salvage relationships, even badly damaged ones, but you must GET OUT NOW. Not only are you illegally facilitating his immigration plans (your marriage is a sham to him), you're pleasuring him within the confines of your home, then giving him license, whether you like it or not, to hook up with whomever he pleases. Not only should you not tolerate this unbelievable level of disrespect, but have you considered he may infect you with an STD if he's out there fooling around?

I have no doubt you are a beautiful person in every way, but don't rely on the perceptions of others to come to that conclusion. Believe it yourself. And save yourself--call a lawyer tomorrow morning.

My thoughts are with you.

P.S. Don't give in to the inevitable begging, pleading, and promises to change once you tell him the marriage is over. And have someone there with you if you feel threatened in any way.
