Secrets: 'My husband's sending messages to other women'
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

I think my husband was unfaithful and I can't forget about it

Three years ago while I went away with my son to visit the inlaws, I came back and found text messages that my husband had sent to another woman.

The one particular message that made me suspicious was one he sent saying he was thinking of her. It wasn't just this one woman he was sending messages to, he was sending Valentine's messages too.

When I confronted him, he told me he was having a hard time because of my depression and that I was pushing him away.

I know that he hasn't had any physical relationships but this still hurt me. He probably doesn't love me as much as I love him, although he tells me he does and can't live without me.

I don't know what to believe - please help.

Do you know what!!! Once a cheat always a cheat!! If its by text, phone, facebook or whatever they are cheating. My ex boyfriend told me it was because I was pushing him away. Funny that. It always seems to be the womans fault!!

I'm just gonna say that I never respond to these things but I am now for some reason. I love my husband an he loves me but he has cheated on me numerous times. One of the ways I found out was text messages just like the ones you found. He has even had an ongoing relationship for like two years with a much younger girl that I work with. It hurt so much to find out these things and I guess the only reason I am saying this is as a warning to you. I will never forgive my husband fully but I might be able to let it go and we will see if he can change, who knows. Just keep your eyes open and protect yourself cause my experience has been that no one else will do that for you. Good luck and I hope things work out for you.

I feel your hurt, I had a similar experience with my partner on the computer. He had just joined facebook and was getting back in touch with some old school friends, one happened to be an old school girlfriend. He had talked before about this girl so when I questioned was this the same girl as in his stories he denied it and made up a name of someone that I was getting confused with..this made me suspicious and I started snooping, to my horror I found him giving his mobile number to her and telling her in one message that she still looked hot and to stay sexy. This may seem stupid to others and nothing, but you instantly think "affair". I found out it was not the affair I was thinking it to be and he stopped all contact and confessed it was stupid and just reminiscing on old times, but I agree that sometimes its the words more than the physical actions that can hurt the most. I still have certain trust issues and this was almost 1 year ago, and to be honest I still snoop, I dont find anything, but it allows me some assurance other than him just saying he is not doing anything. I cant say how long this will last for you, as you can see I still am yet to fully let it go, but if you love him and want for the relationship to continue I have found this to work. I dont know if he knows I still am checking up on him as we dont talk about it - its not worth the argument - but peace of mind will eventually relieve the heart and bring the trust back.....as long as there are no more messages. Good luck!!
