I caught my husband of 14 years chatting to other women

So… I have been married for 14 years. A few weeks ago I found out my husband has been chatting with another woman, making plans to have dinner & see where the night leads them… I confronted him about it. He confirmed to JUST talking to this woman & that nothing actually happened between them… But now listen this man has moved out of our bedroom, he is constantly on his phone (has new passwords & even a fingerprint lock on his whatsapp) and apparently needs to work late after a 12hr shift. He says his not cheating but he also says his not happy & that he needs to live his life but that he also doesn’t know what he wants. It is so frustrating because I am left with no direction. He hasn’t spoken to me in 5 weeks just continues on with his life. When I mention divorce he says fine then in the same breath says I’m throwing it all away. I mean WTF. I am lost because he doesn’t speak to me or has any answers for me…just pretends I don’t exist. Thank you

It’s time for him to go. You deserve so much better. Sorry. Hugs

He’s trying to hold on to all of what’s current as a backup incase whatever nonsense he’s doing doesn’t work out. Don’t sit around and wait. He can choose you and his marriage or go “live his life” without you. You are not an option or second choice.

We all know he is cheating and also holding on to you. He doesn’t really love and respect you so no point carrying the burden of this relationship.

Hes trying to make it your fault. I’d tell him you deserve better and leave or tell him to leave.

You deserve to be treated with love and respect. Don’t settle for less. Take back control and tell him to get out. File for divorce.

Chuck him in the bed. If someone can ghost you for 5 weeks after 14 years they can actually get fucked.

He’s already checked out of the marriage. All you represent to him now is a roof over his head and the convenience of not having to start over on his own.
That’s what he’s is doing by accusing you of ‘throwing it away’. You’re not throwing away your relationship because he has already done that, you’re throwing away his safety net if things don’t work out with his current love interest.

Stop waiting for him to make decisions for you and launch pad this shit. You decide your direction, what do YOU want. He’s doing what he wants. You need to take control of what you want out of life. I hope you have good support around you x

Take control and be the one to make the decision to split. You know what’s best for YOU! You’re the only person who can protect YOU! Don’t give him the power over your next move!

Easier said than done. But, my father did this to my mother, and after 40 years their marriage was over. Her heart was broken, obviously. But, I wholeheartedly believe it would have been “easier” for her to heal had she made him leave. Had she filed, stood her ground, and knew her worth!

I’m sorry but it definitely sounds like he’s looking for more from life with someone else… If he’s talking to another women, lying, moved out of the bedroom, hasn’t talk to you in 5 weeks, says YOU’RE throwing away the marriage when he’s the one acting like an ass and even told you he’s not happy. You should file for divorce because you deserve so much better that that.

Leave. It’s over !!

It’s easier said than done,but you have to move forward… He wants you both and he’s not willing to let go of the other one… It was his decision that lead to all this… you go on and don’t be surprised that it’s some girl trying to make him feel special just to get what she wants from him,then when she’s done,she moves on… That’s when he will say “ok,I know what I want now” but that’s when you say,“it’s too late” know yourself worth

Leave him and look for a girlfriend :heart::orange_heart::yellow_heart::green_heart::blue_heart::purple_heart:

Marriage counseling might save it but sounds like its over.

Don’t let him hold the reigns ! Get on that horse and ride into the sunset and leave his indecisive ass behind. He’s keeping u there Incase these relations with the other woman go no where ! You know the answer ,so let’s do it :pray::heart:

Don’t let him make decisions for your future, file for divorce. Move on. Don’t give him the chance to see if he can get another woman first, before he leaves you, he’s already rhrown everything away…

I’d just divorce. He’s obviously hiding something and obviously doesn’t care. Divorce and find another man who will appreciate you!

You need to decide what you really want. Do you want to be with someone who does not respect you and cares so little for your heart that he’s willing to treat you like a doormat or do you want to start over and value yourself and make a better choice next time? If the answer is the latter, file for divorce. If you want the former, wait it out. Hope for the best. Ask him to go to counseling. Work hard to suck it up and be the wife he wants you to be while this passes. But whatever you decide, make it your choice. Don’t keep letting him call the shots.

Get to the bank and withdraw all but $1. Change your passwords and your locks. His stuff would be in the yard. He could figure it out somewhere else but not in my house. If you found out about this one, how many haven’t you found out about? Are children involved? If not, it just makes it easier. 14 years is a long time but life goes on and you deserve to make the most of it and be happy. Good luck.

Get hard copies of bank, credit card and investment statements ASAP. Make sure he’s not taking all your money out or charging rooms at the no-tell motel and charging dinners at romantic restaurants. If so, keep it as evidence of adultery. Make copies and keep some with trusted friends.

Contact a woman’s center for advice on the best ways to leave to get whatever you are entitled to.

Set up your own bank account that he can’t touch. Be the first to get the mail. Save money there. You decide if it’s worth taking out half the assets in checking and savings now or just waiting for the separation.

Contact some divorce lawyers. Can you kick him out of the house legally? Do you have children? How much will you have to pay the lawyer? How much would you get in child support or alimony if either would be available? Consults should be low cost or free.

Contact the county. Could you afford where you’re living now by yourself or with a paying housemate? Or would you need subsidized housing? Is there a waiting list for housing? Could you get on it now? Could you get Medicaid if you don’t have health insurance through work or Obamacare? Food stamps? Employment or schooling assistance?

Is there anyone you could stay with after separation or divorce until you can get on your feet again if money for mortgage or rent will be a problem?

Since he’s already checked out of the marriage, I doubt he’ll argue about keeping anything, and you might even get him to pay for at least half the lawyer. Sounds like he’ll go along with anything to get out of the marriage without a fuss. But have the phone number of a pit bull lawyer (will be at a higher rate) at the firm in case he wants to get nasty. If he’s agreeable, maybe a mediator would be cheaper, but make sure she/he’s documents are admissible in court.

Subtly spread the word he’s cheating so he can’t paint you as the “bad” person in the split.

Get counseling to deal with your emotions and grief at the loss of your marriage.

Oh, lawyers charge for every 15 minutes, so act accordingly. See if most of the work can be done by paralegals who get billed at a lesser rate. Also ask if phone calls to the law firm are free or charged, and if so, at what rate.

Actions speak louder than words! You never turn away from your spouse, you always turn towards them. You already know the truth! Sometimes it’s hard for our heart to accept what our mind already knows. I was 7 mos pregnant when I literally found my then husband cheating. Hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was walking away from a 10 yr marriage with a newborn…13 yrs later, BEST decision I’ve ever made! Good luck!

Go find a lawyer and file for divorce. This is no way to live. He is cheating on you. You deserve better than this q

I only read halfway through this to already know what I was going to say….
This dude wants to have his cake and eat it too. All it’s going to take is for him to find the right time, then when HE’S ready you’ll be served with divorce papers. He’s already cheating, he’s BEEN cheating. If I were you I’d file for divorce ASAP. You’re going to be blindsided if you don’t, and he’s going to try and take whatever he wants from you in the divorce.

Sounds like he wants you to do the dirty work. If I’m fact he is cheating, it’s adultery and some stands don’t tolerate that.

Get yourself financially secure, any joint bank accounts…get your 50% out of them now. Then file for divorce on grounds of adultery, know how much your joint possessions are worth cos you’re entitled to 50%. Pack your suitcases (or his) and get on with the rest of your life!!
