Not right of either of them, especially if she knows he’s married…why confront her? Unless she’s your friend, she owes u nothing, he does. Get with the right person. If it wasn’t her, it would/will/has been someone else.

This topic sucks, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I will never understand someone stepping out on their partner. However you decide too approach this situation, be careful. Do you have any sort of plan in place for the changes that are coming? Trusting your gut is always the way to go, I can’t fathom finding something like this out and then when you’ve got the solid proof, you have to be strong. And you will be, you and your children deserve way better than this. You don’t say how long you’ve been married, but I’ve heard from others that it hurts just the same no matter what length of time you’ve been committed. Seek out resources that will be helpful if there is anything you need. I’ve found that personally, I didn’t realize the resources available here in our small community for the elderly. (in my case, it’s becoming care giver to my mama)

The other woman owes you nothing.
She didn’t make a commitment and a family with you, your husband did.
As easy as it is to blame to blame the outside person, it’s not their fault. It’s your husbands for allowing the door to open to others(even just a tiny bit). She could not have come through what wasn’t open.

Get you shit together legally, I hope you have proof of what you got off his phone. Be prepared to financially yourself and your kids till you take his ass to court get him for everything you can not for you but for your kids. Hope you choose not to be a doormat. Keep us updated.
I’m sorry u r going through this, and yes your and your kids lives r about to change. If u can forgive him the great but if u can’t then the choice is yours to make, my advice is to pray about it, ask God not to take this away from u but to give u the strength and endurance for whats to come for u and your kids. This too shall pass. You’ll see.

If you get a chance GET ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED FROM HIS PHONE! Take pics of msgs, call logs, emails, pics, etc! That’s what will help you in the end! Without that it’s just he said she said! Good Luck mama! PS, you’d just be wasting your time on talking with her about it especially since YOU ALREADY KNOW”THE TRUTH” you seen it with your own eyes on his phone, you’re just looking for a vocal confirmation, in which you’re not gonna get! If anything I would force him out of the house, if he leaves first he abandoned the marriage, but if I were you I would be the first to file for divorce! That way he will have to prove that it’s not happening, not you trying to convince them that it is because you’re bringing PROOF firstly!

You are very strong. You and your kids will be just fine. Look forward to the next chapter of your life, and focus on never having to worry about him and his intentions, or you and your children feeling that way ever again.

Then go have urself a day of pampering u know hair makeup massage and so on then take u a weekend trip better yet just take a weekend spa getaway (book it with his money before he is served, after all its the least he could do is treat u) when u get back don’t be angry with him and her…LIVE UR LIFE!

Sweetie dont confront him or her plan your exit instead since you have proof on your phone …contact a lawyer and file for divorce, if you have a home then they will tell you your options, file for support, alimony, child custody…make sure you clean most of the money out of the account…if you are renting then find another place and pack everything up without him noticing and get a movingvtruck and take EVERYTHING in the house and leave him nothing…that is the ultimate revenge…throw out all his clothes outside and you know what to do…leave him without clothes or anything…he has been having an affair for awhile now and showing it in front of your kids so obviously he doesnt care…time to teach him a lessson…as i always say about cheaters is dog shit stuck to the bottom of your shoe has a higher standing than him he is selfish and self absorbed…good luck and plan well
I wouldn’t say a word. Get your ducks in a row and be done. Good luck! He’ll regret this!
Why confront her? She owes you nothing. Your commitment isn’t with her.
If you are done then file for divorce first thing and start the healing process for yourself. Check with a family lawyer. If you’re in the US, some states are “no fault” states so it really won’t matter what kind of “proof” you have of his cheating. Good luck!

Can I say something from a woman who’s ex husband cheating on for our entire marriage. The biggest thing to remember is the old saying it takes 2 to cheat not just 1. Don’t just confront the other woman but also your husband. It’s a feeling I will never and have never forgotten and my children were young the 1st time and older when he did it again and making a decision to confront 1 and not the other can backfire. Gather your evidence then take your children to a friend’s or family before you confront your husband 1st!! This way your children are not in the house during this time because I didn’t know until my children were adults they heard everything and it did so much damage to them because I didn’t handle it better for them. Calm yourself down best you possibly can then confront him first not her. This is hard and anger is going to be extremely high but be the better person when confronting him because then the effect is he looks like a complete jerk. Then get yourself in to the doctor and tested for STDs just to be completely safe. Once you’ve confronted him then from there depending on how it goes start deciding if you want him out or to stay. This hurts children so much more than we realize and doing this different than I did will help you and your children heal properly. I’m so sorry this happened to you but please remember it takes 2 to cheat not just 1. Also PLEASE make sure you have accounts separated if they are joint accounts before confronting him! And contact a lawyer to make sure you are prepared for anything he decides to do against you In order to keep yourself safe. If you have 2 cars then make sure 1 is only in your name unfortunately if you have a mortgage in both names you are stuck because it’s a loan that can’t be taken out of your name however a lawyer can state he will pay the mortgage including you keeping the home since you have children.

Your kids will thank you for it in due time that U didn’t allow their so called father to consistently disrespect you and your kids by cheating on you all darl xxx they will take a bit of time to adjust but just tell them it’s best for you and daddy not to live together anymore but it does not mean you both dont love the kids, it’s just what needs to be done and what is best for you both to remain in a civil relationship/co-parenting
And if he drops off the radar or faids away in the backdrop, then drop him like a dead beat dad and don’t reach out to him at all and eventually it will sink in( well it should) that he post his kids for C*** and someone else’s left overs ain’t worth it which he will regret but that’s his to deal with and U get a gold star for doing what’s best for you and your kids

No need to confront her. He also knew he had a family, that’s for him to respect, not her. He stood before you and God, his mistress did not. She owes you nothing, your husband owes you loyalty, not her. Confrontation won’t take back his infidelity. Did you think this through before you had proof, like if you would stay/leave once you found out? Do you have a plan besides talking to his lady?

No need to confront. Gather the proof is needed and start making an exit plan. The only person here who should have any loyalty to you is the person who made promises. Also go get checked out by the doctor. Personally I’d stop having sex with him so he doesn’t give you something that can harm your health. And get into therapy.

I wouldn’t worry about confronting her. Although it is shitty of her to br messing with a married man the only one who owes you loyalty is your husband. I would just be working on planning your exit but you never mentioned leaving him.
Come straight out and tell him. Don’t ask because a cheater and narcissist always deny it. Tell him that you know … In the meantime he is pretty arrogant and ignorant for holding hands with another woman in front of your children. I guess he was expecting them to tell you so he would be off the hook

Go see a lawyer first and start the paper work. The applicant always has the upper hand in court. Have your papers in hand when you confront him so you don’t change your mind when he starts the mind games/ apologizes. You’ve given him the chance in the past already by confronting him about her. You need to see a therapist to help get through the next few stages of grief, trust me it will help. You will learn to set a boundary and be able to keep saying no. He might guilt trip you, use the kids etc so your mind needs to be strong. Don’t look back just keep pushing forward. Always trust your gut instincts going forward.

I’m so incredibly sorry. I’ve been in a similar situation and I know how much it hurts. Take screenshots of your proof and keep it.

If you’re able to, access his phone again and take pictures with your phone of the conversations they’ve been having so you have proof of the infidelity. Bring them to an attorney and have divorce papers drafted up. DO NOT CONFRONT EITHER OF THEM ABOUT IT. Once papers are drawn up, request that a process server be the ones to deliver them to your husband. If your kids are already telling you “I saw daddy holding hands with so and so”, chances are they probably have seen more than that. BUT, don’t try and ask your kids more questions about it because that puts them into an uncomfortable situation where they might feel either A- they’ll get in trouble or B- they don’t want to get their dad in trouble. Going to confront her yourself will just add more drama to the situation and may even result in a physical fight if things get too heated and you getting in trouble. If that happens, your husband can say you’re “unstable” and try and work that into getting custody of the kids. Best course of action would be to take your evidence and do everything behind the scenes.

It sounds like you’ve been preparing for this and it sounds like your kids are fairly young. It will be an adjustment, but kids are resilient. You’ll all be okay.
If possible, make sure that you either print screenshots as proof of his infidelity or get a lawyer for the divorce and subpoena the girlfriend to testify to the infidelity. Typically I would say keep your divorce civil, but in cases like this… take him to the cleaners. Request custody, alimony and child support. He did this to your family, not you. I don’t think you should confront her because if she knows she’s been seeing/sleeping with a married man with a family, she’s straight trash and you confronting her isn’t going to get you anywhere. Just remind yourself of two things-
- They’re both trash, they deserve each other and you deserve better.
- If he cheated with her, it’s only a matter of time before he cheats on her. They will both get what they deserve in the end.
The price you pay for doing a good woman wrong, is the bitch you end up with!
The ones saying why take it up w her?? WTF happened to being a decent human being?! You don’t sleep w knowingly married guys. Confront them both if that’s what you feel like doing. Too many times the ‘other woman’ is given a pass bcuz she owes you nothing. No to hell w all that. They both owe other humans decency n respect. Don’t listen to these weak ass ppl. If you want to confront her, do it. I would. How dare her and him equally and in front of your kids!
Talking to her honestly won’t give you the closure you’re looking for sadly if she knows about the whole family it’s likley that she’s gonna deny it to you even with the proof just like he has done and it’ll hurt you even more!

sorry about this, But why are you going to confront this woman,??? Yes she was wrong, but this is still on your husband, if he was faithful, he wouldn’t have done anything, So don’t blame her, I never did with any of the woman my ex husband went out with, That was all on him!! Yes the women should never slept with him, but again, he was 100% to blame. If they went after him, all he had to say is "i love my wife & I never want to hurt her by doing anything’. But a cheater doesn’t say this, so they are to blame
