The fact that you stayed after the first time is amazing. You’re a better woman than me. I left after the first time my ex cheated on me and NO kids were involved. You must respect yourself, get the hell out and NEVER look back. You and your kids deserve better.

Your kids will understand when they are older… U need to get out of that marriage and fast… Staying is only telling your kids its ok to stay and be unhappy because of kids… They need a happy mother… If you arent good they wont be good… Kids feel peoples feelings and kids are way smarter than people believe…

Bye bye. Divorce him!

I’m sorry. Please see the good advice above. He won’t change. :confused:

Make a plan in your head ex. figuring out your lawyer and making an appointment, have people on your corner for when you tell him, know where you are going to go if that’s the case. Also if hes ever shown signs of abuse have someone at the house when you tell him. You need to show your kids a good example of what happiness for their mother (or father if this was the other way around) looks like. 1 time isnt right but 4 times is ridiculous.

If you can afford to leave and do it safely, then just go . No need to explain . If he asks, then keep it short . “I decided I don’t wanna be here anymore . I deserve someone who respects me. Bye”

So you are showing your child what a relationship looks like… Your choices now is to stay and be in an unhappy unhealthy relationship or leave and either work on your own happiness with the kids and coparent and find someone who sees your worth… Either way you are the example the kids are looking at.

Cheaters never stop… Get out

Throw him out. Hopefully he will be mature enough to realize how to co-parent. If he wants to step out on his marriage and commitment, let him go. He may realize how costly, not only financially and emotionally, his cheating caused him. Good luck. U deserve so much better

I only read the first line but here’s my advice RUNNNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT TOXIC RELATIONSHIP

Only way they will suffer is seeing their parents unhappy everyday. Do what’s best for you, the children will not lose their father because you are no longer together. Don’t stay with him because of the children. Make the move, you won’t regret it

You need to leave him as he doesn’t love or respect you as a partner should.
There is no way to stop some hurt from occurring to your oldest but it is better to get it over with the partner Now.
You happy is better than living in a bad emotional relationship for you & the kids.
Staying just enables his continued cheating & disrespect.

Why do u continue to have children with a man who cheats🤔You are teaching your children that this type of behavior is okay because you aren’t standing up for yourself…Know👏Your👏Worth👏Babe👏

Divorce … and do it on good terms. I stay for 7 years after my husbands first affair. There has been more women and secrets. It will not change. He will not change and you can’t change him. Only you can change you. You are strong and deserve so much more. Mine thought that since he worked hard and I didn’t have to worry about money etc. it was ok. Well to me me it wasn’t. I have learned . I don’t need to apologize for what I demanded if you want to be the man in my life.
Stand your ground. Don’t let him or anyone disrespect you! You are a warrior. But remember always stay and lady and classy…someone your kids will be proud of.

Ur best thing I would tell u is to take ur boys & move out or have him move out …U need to show ur sons that’s not how life is …U both need trust & with out that u don’t have much …I was a mom with two kids & I left be cuz of the cheating & the beatings …I did it ,u can too …U will be happier

You deserve better and he knows it. He knows once you figure that out he knows you will leave so he is lining up his next victim or safety net

Divorce. Tell your children they are loved by both their mom and dad but mom and dad do not love each other enough to stay married. Only share what the kids need to know and always keeping the other parent in a positive light.

One thing I hate about these women asking for advice is the advice y’all give. Women in abusive relationship are connected to this person either bc they believe they can’t afford to leave or the abuser has told them they will hurt them if they leave or they’ve been told they aren’t shit and nobody wants them and they believe it. For you women to tell another woman she must be crazy or stupid to stay is wrong! I’ve been in an abusive relationship for 8 years. I felt I was stuck there and there was no way out. I certainly wouldn’t want to hear I’m stupid for staying. It becomes a mental illness and each year harder and harder to leave. Obviously her self esteem is shot thanks to this guy, she doesn’t need to feel worse from your opinions. Sister you have to build strength inside of you, if you are unhappy reach out for help, prepare your finances. Whatever choice you make is yours, but you are deserving of better. :heart:

Honest advice, you know you have to leave but remember show your boys you still respect him, don’t treat him like shit, don’t try to take everything from him, just go your ways and tell the boys that mommy and daddy just didn’t work out. The biggest thing in this is to remember that just because you two couldn’t make it work and he fucked up and you fucked up by taking him back so many times, but that’s not the boys fault and don’t bring them into it. Child don’t deserve to be hurt.

Here is the bigger picture and it’s disease he can bring you home something that there is no cure for. You sit him down and talk to him about it. You both go to a marriage counselor together and separately the counselor can tell you if there’s any chance of saving the marriage. Don’t go to an Attorney that is a big expense neither of you need. Go see a mediator. Work out an agreement you both can abide by and leave the innocent by standers the children out of the whole situation.

Your boys are already suffering this. They’ve known everytime he cheated. They can sense the emotions in the words and actions. You are not doing them any favors by staying together. You instead are teaching them that’s how a marriage should be. Time to be done.

If it’s no longer a shock to you, then that means you know it’s coming and that it’s done for. He clearly has zero respect for you and your boy’s as he can’t just call it quits. If you have any respect for yourself and even for him (as he clearly is too self involved to have that talk with you), you’ll do what needs to be done. It will hurt. An end always does hurt. But beginnings are full of growth, self exploration, and self love. Do yourself a favor and get out before it becomes a thing you are numb to and you waste more time on a guy who could care less of your feelings and his family life. You deserve better than that shit.

Leave him
Better that your boys see both parents happy than a cheating dad and a miserable mum

Respect is the big one. Once you have lost respect … It’s done, and that’s not all bad. You are worth more and better. You matter!

once a cheater always a cheater!
DIVORCE!

The best thing is to leave.The boys can tell Your not happy.Fighting hurts them tension in the home can also but damaging to Your and there’s.So hard to leave one of My hardest but was the best one.

You need to leave and take the boys with you just never bad mouth you ex in front of the boys it just makes it worse for the boys by confusing them on whom they should be loyal to. I had to do this but it was better for everyone to move on and get away from someone i could no longer trust

You really asking for advice sis? :unamused:

Once a cheater always a cheater, you’re doing your children no justice by being with him he clearly doesn’t care about you nor your children leave him.

It wont stop. The trust is gone. Do you and ur kids. The longer u wait the harder it will be for u guys.

I would let him go I wouldn’t take it anymore 1x a cheater always a cheater hes gonna keep hurting you

give him the boot no more chances

I would.talk to him about divorce but co parenting if you want and think you can… Espeically if he is super active in the childs life. So sorry you have to go through this.

A two parent household means nothing if it’s toxic. I say leave and find your happiness. Happy mom equals happy children.

Leave. My ex husband was a serial cheater and I felt stuck, like I couldn’t leave. Best decision of my LIFE when I left. For both me and my two boys. You will never live in peace if you stay in that situation. You will always be anxious and stressed out. For your health and your children’s, get away asap…

Your kids are already suffering seeing you unhappy. They will suffer even more in life if this is their example of marriage and being a husband. :confused:
You deserve better. Your son’s deserve better. They deserve a better chance to be good men and an example of a strong woman.
Show them how powerful you really are by putting your happiness first.
“The best thing a man can do for his children is love their Mother.”
Clearly, that isn’t happening as it should. So show them what a strong person does with that.
But…deep down, you know all this. You got this, believe in yourself!

You know about 4 times. I’m betting there are more, he just didn’t get caught or didn’t feel guilty and tell you.
He’s having his cake and eating it too.
HE WILL NEVER CHANGE. Don’t believe anything he says.
Get a plan in order first. Financial and legal. Then get him out of your home.

Leave, do 50/50 shared parenting & walk away. The kids don’t have to suffer, don’t be a crazy baby momma. File for divorce & shared parenting.

I lived this life for 20 years, I would stay cause I was taught marriage was forever. I would stay because we had kids, I would make excuses for him, finally no more, we have been divorced 10 years. Our kids ask why I stayed, I told them I didn’t want them to grow up in a broken home. They told me they did grow up in a broken home, cause of our relationship, they wish we had divorced earlier so they didn’t go through all the arguments. We think we are doing right by staying but we are destroying our self esteem. I’m remarried to a great guy who doesn’t cheat and doesn’t think about cheating. For your sake get some counseling so you will be strong enough for your boys to walk away and show them how a wife should be treated and respected

Divorce and stop having kids with the dude

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way through this without some type of transition or upset. However, it doesn’t mean you have to stay in this situation either. It’s clear your husband has his own issues that make him unfit for this marriage and it’s time to leave. I would be as honest as your children are able to understand at their age. Don’t be afraid to seek counseling during this time for you and your kids and maybe reach out to family to help you come up with a plan to break the news and proceed with the separation. Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best.

  1. A cheating spouse has nothing to do with the other person in most instances, so remember that you deserve to be happy.

  2. You have to decide when you have had enough, it doesn’t matter how many people tell you to leave or send him packing - you have to be ready to make that decision.

  3. Whatever you choose, it is your choice and it will be difficult, but you will get through it.

This is a good resource. I’ve learned a lot from Focus On The Family. They’ve helped me through some difficult times. I hope this helps…

Simple, find a way to leave. He is not a good roll model for your boys

You don’t have to be married to your children’s father for him to still be their father, he just won’t be your husband and be able to cheat on you anymore. He’s made his stance clear that he’ll continue cheating no matter what

The only advice that I can give you is to leave him. He will continue to do this. You do not deserve to be treated that way.

Honestly, it’s not as if he cheated once and actually cared enough about you to never do it again. He’s going to keep cheating. I would’ve left him after the first time. Just because you aren’t together doesn’t mean he can’t continue to be there for his sons. You need to do what’s best for YOU in this. Once he’s gone you will be free to find someone who actually cares about you respects you. Be strong, good luck

This shit pisses me off. I couldn’t read the whole post. When she got to the “cheated many times” part, I wanted to jump in the phone and shake the hell out of her. This question is simple. Do you like being cheated on and treated like shit? If yes, do nothing. If no, get rid of the asshole. How is that hard?

Staying with him will give a bad example for your kids. You want them to see you happy and how you should be treated. Divorce can be hard on everyone, especially kids, but staying and having them see how he treats you and you being sad all the time isn’t healthy for them or you
