Today, I cleaned out my husband's drawer. He had kept every love letter I wrote him for the past 7 years. I smiled, struck by how romantic he was. My bliss was short-lived as I realized that he had also kept every single love letter his other lovers wrote him while we were married. FML

I'm the one who wrote this FML. I was organizing the drawer because I was trying to find our passports. I confronted him, and he admitted to TWO affairs. A few months ago, when I got sick out of town and had emergency surgery (acute cholecystectomy), I was stuck there almost 2 weeks. He never visited me once, because of "work", even though it's less than 3 hours away. I looked at our bank account--day of my surgery, he was buying sushi for two, and then breakfast the next morning. Oh yeah, he also bought a trip for two to Vegas over Xmas break. A week ago, he told me, via text message, he filed for divorce. So yeah, FML, several times over.

How sweet. He'll probably keep all the divorce papers that he gets after you leave his cheating ass, too.

Keep the letters as evidence! At least then when you get divorced you'll be able to take all his stuff.

I don't think you were "cleaning out" your husband's drawer. Clearly you were intending to snoop.

I clean out my fiances drawers when he asks me to. Of course, he probably wouldn't ask her to clean out the ones he kept letter from his other lovers in, so you're probably right. snooping.... unless he's that much of an idiot. I dunno.

Sounds like Op had good reason to snoop, right?

Hmmmm most people get rid of EVERYTHING an ex ever gave to them that is sentimental in that way, especially if they ended things badly. I'm not sure on the rule if you're still friends with an ex?

not only do not all girls love the bad guys or the "assholes", we usually don't know the assholes from the good guys until AFTER we've started dating them. They can be incredibly similar at the beginning. i dated this guy for a few months before the asshole started to appear. the chick he started dating recently came and asked me about him. I didn't lie. i said he has the ability to be very sweet and caring, but he's an asshole. she said she hadn't seen that side of him. they'd been together 2 weeks....OF COURSE she hadn't seen that side of him. He was still trying to get in her pants. Then he gets some and the asshole started to emerge. i wanted to smack her in the forehead and say "shoulda had a V8". oh well, we live and hopefully we learn.

WOW. He's horrible....I can't imagine being cheated on and when you need him the most like when you're sick....weren't there any warning signs?!

Exactly what part of the breakfast for two, Vegas trip, and the whole not seeing her when she was sick thing do you not regard as "warning signs"? I mean, are they not... do they not... am I... is it just me? Excuse the sarcastic format. Kind of got in the habit, yano.

good luck to you - don't be surprised if he comes back with his tail between his legs - give him a good kick if he does.

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule? Also stop looking for his passport if you're getting a divorce. Make that douche pay for a new one.

I wouldn't let it bother you. Yes he is someone you loved but you seem nice and are obviously very attractive and I'm sure that a much better man will come into your life

I'm sorry, OP. Now you have the opportunity to find someone who is worthy of your attention and love. Good luck and stay strong!

Oh my gosh, OP, I'm so sorry. I say, save the letters as evidence, and then get him for everything he's got. And when he comes crawling back to you because he probably will, don't let him back in your life! Bump him!
