Why doesn't he understand?

Question - (29 November 2010) 6 Answers - (Newest, 30 November 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, *llieb19 writes:

I have been with my fiance for almost 7 years and known him for longer than that! We were also business partners and the best of friends suring our relationship. He cheated, I forgave him, then I found out he kept cheating on and off for 3 years! Now, he is malicious, angry and gets frustrated that I'm hurt and upset. Why doesn't he understand? Why did he take it this far? Why isn't he patient with me? He doesn't want to change either, why?

A female reader, Bella555 United States +, writes (30 November 2010):

Aunty BimBim speaks the truth--he's angry because your knowledge of his clandestine actions spoils all the fun and takes away the control he believed he had over you and your relationship. I have encountered those who thought their separate lives and the consequent lies were above me and everyone else they know, and regrettably, one of these liars was a bf at one point. He would explode at the slightest questioning of his whereabouts, plans, or intentions that he thought undermined his version of the "truth." And I don't mean relentless inquiries or accusations either, I'm talking about innocent questions or observations that would otherwise be considered normal or considerate. He was (and is) a sad, disenfranchised man, one whom I'm glad I no longer endure.

Your fiance won't change, in all likelihood. Your feelings don't seem to matter to him, only his own gratification. This is one instance in which I would advise walking--he's taken you for granted long enough.

Good luck.

Carrot2000 agony auntYou can't imagine life without him and that's precisely why he's been cheating on you for three years. To him, your upset is just unnecessary noise because he's not going to stop and he knows you're not going to leave him. Really, you've given him no incentive to change.

Denise32 agony auntTime to break off the engagement, perhaps?

Seven years engaged is a heck of a long time to INTEND to marry (which is what an engagement is) and not get around to tying the knot.

I agree with Aunty BimBim he acts this way because he can no longer get away with such outrageous behavior.....doesn't sound good.

Aunty BimBim agony auntHe is malicious, angry and frustrated because you are not falling for his line of lies anymore.

His cosy little world where he could go off and cheat and come home and pull the wool over your eyes is disintergrating.
