A female Australia age 41-50, *lute writes:

hi, my husband and I have been together for 19yrs now, we have two children 3yr and 6yr. my husband has always talked about his strong morals especially over affairs he has said that even a kiss is a passionate moment and in his views is as good as an affair. my trust for this man has been un questionable. until... my mum who is very close to me, started to ask how we were going in our relationship, one night mum and I were talking and she informed me that my husband had made sexually advances towards her... I remember the night well we had our second chid who at the time was about 9weeks of age, we were all invited to my mums for dinner and a spa, after dinner I raced home to get my swimmers I took our 9wk old baby with me I was gone for about an hour feeding and changing bub. when I returned my mum and husband were in spa and I felt tension, later that night at home I asked my husband if something had happened between them, he went off yelling and stomping saying to me. how could you even think that I would do anything like that so on and so on, I was very apologetic and he said he forgives me!our relationship from then on was up and down and after one year I moved into my aunts house with the children while she was over seas for three months her house was on the same road so my husband visited every day one night he went out and ended up in bed with a 17yr old, he said that he thought it was over between us,mind you he was 46yrs old, we manage to get through some of that and I moved back home then mum tells me what he has done to her, I confront my husband who was very sorry for what had happened and has also told me that he (before I knew him) was having an affair with his bosses wife! that lasted 3yrs! very confused who he is and why this has happened.

"My husband has cried, he has begged and made a family announcement of his wrong doings and is willing to do what ever it takes to rebuild a true and honest relationship not only with me but to everyone involved. I just hope his word is true. Thank you for your comments, they helped me alot as at one stage I thought I was over reacting in my emotional state."

He is just placating you with histrionics. See how long it takes him to over step his boundaries again.

Thank you for all your feed back.

i'm not making excuses for my husband, he has made some really big mistakes, not sure what to do in my life[and children] I guess ill work something out. I do have to remember that relationships can be hard and take a lot of work, I do still love him for many reasons and its human error to sometimes only point out the bad in someone.

I do think my husband has some really deep dark issues that he needs to deal with and he is willing and wants to seek some type of help, at this stage I cant turn my back on someone I have known and loved for his many good points.To many reading this it does sound as if I am a push over, believe me, not so.

To be honest, I can't work out why you're with him. He seems utterly vile. You need to read your own post back, and really take in what you've said, because he comes across as a real creep.

So here's the thing. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. Weakness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Actually, according to Albert Einstein, that's the definition of insanity but I think that's a bit of a strong word choice.

I am so sorry that you had to find out that the past 19 years have been a lie.

Please, no more forgiving him unless you redefine what it means to forgive. To forgive is not the same thing as continuing a relationship. To forgive is not to forget. You would be foolish to forget and continue the marriage.

Once you reconcile that hubby is a lying, cheating hypocrite, you will have no problem understanding "why this happened."

Your only real question is, do you want to continue to spend time with him.... the man who you now REALLY know who he is....

Good luck...

He's a liar, open your eyes...

I had a bf who claimed to be against drugs and all this stuff when he was doing it himself. If his words don't match his actions he's a liar..and by the looks of it a pervert too!

eyeswideopen agony auntI'm sorry you are confused about who he is, now me, I have a very clear picture of who, or more like WHAT he is. Which also explains WHY this all happened. I think when you have a nice long think about it all, you'll have no confusion over what you need to do.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (22 July 2013):

Sounds like the reason he was telling you what "strong morals" he has got is because he was doing the dirty on you. If he can do that to you with your mother then he has no respect for you or your children (it's their grandmother)

Is this the only times he has done it or the only times you know of...?
