Today, I found out my wife cheated on me with a guy from her work three times, two months before I proposed to her. She decided to tell me three months into our marriage. FML

Wow, that's wrong. Why do people have to be unfaithful, but I guess it was better to find out now than later..

Now it's time to divorce her 3 months after you got married

If she feels bad about it, nothing to worry about! She was honest with you which is all that matter§

Once a cheater always a cheater until proven otherwise.

I believe that would be impossible to prove otherwise?

Yeah i dont think he is going to be the same... He will never trust her and is gonna be a living hell marriage is not about that

Personally I think the fact that she cheated matters as well. Honesty in this situation is like an empty apology and should not be rewarded

"Honey, I killed our children with a chainsaw. I'm so sorry." "Ow. I would be heartbroken en completely devastated, but you obviously feel bad about it. Well, at least you're honest. Fancy some four 'o clock tea, darling?"

No an empty apology would be if she waited until after the husband discovered what happened some other way. In that case when she said she was sorry it would really mean she was sorry she got caught. If someone goes out of their way to confess something their spouse likely never would have found out otherwise that means that they must still love them because they can't stand the fact that they're hiding something from their significant other.

"That means that they must still love them"? Maybe the wife loves him now but she definitely didn't love him when she was in bed with another man. You don't cheat on someone if you love them. Cheating is not a "mistake". It's an "I don't actually love you nor do I have morals or give a shit about you or your feelings".

Whether the average person cares to admit it or not, human beings in general are prone to selfishness and want to satisfy their own needs and desires above all else. Marriage is a special bond that actually requires you to go against that and put the other person's needs first. The reason so many marriages these days fail is not because of all the lame excuses make up like because they've changed, they don't feel the magic anymore, blah blah blah. It's because one or both partners stop putting the other person's needs ahead of their own. The commitment to share your life with someone and always put them first is not something you just make on the wedding day. It's a decision you have to make every day and every moment of your life. All it takes is for you to forget that even for a few moments and seek your own needs first for even something like adultery to happen. Again, I'm not saying this to justify what the woman did. Cheating is wrong wrong wrong! The husband does have the right to leave her now if that's what he feels he needs to do, but the point I'm trying to make is nobody can honestly say they've never had moments where they put their own needs ahead of their significant others needs. You can cheat on your spouse in more ways that sex with another person. You can cheat on him or her by being a workaholic, by wanting to spend all of your time with friends instead of them, or even just by hardly ever giving them any attention simply because you don't feel like it and would rather just do your own thing all the time. Putting your needs ahead of the other person's in a relationship is always wrong, cheating in the form of sex is just perhaps the most extreme form of it.

Then why was devorce rates below 5-10% 50 years ago?

183, That first sentence actually explains why we act the way we do about others infidelity...

"Then why was devorce rates below 5-10% 50 years ago?" Because a divorce was shamefull. Du-uh.

Yeah and way more people took the "til death do us part" line serious. These days those words are so empty at the majority of weddings. People just treat saying those vows as a formality rather than a true heart decision.

MissHayleyJames 7

211 exactly that! No one takes the vows seriously. They just go through the motions because it's tradition. People today think "well if this marriage doesn't work out we'll just get divorced and marry someone else". Way back when, when you married someone you actually committed to them for life and would work through your problems. I still think it should be like that unless someone cheats on your or abuses you. If you just can't agree on what laundry detergent to buy or where you want to live then too bad, work it out.

Yeah agreed. People do have the ability to work through their problems. A lot of people just don't care enough to because again they never truly took the vows serious and figure it's no big deal to just walk away when things get tough. Nothing worthwhile in this life is always easy.

she's a *****. sorry man...i'm not going to tell you how to run your relationship but that's unforgivable in my opinion

Omg an endangered species! Quick, lets circle around to protect him from the penispoachers who will wipe out every ounce of integrity in him.

I guess when she was complaining about being "over worked" she was really trying to confess, sometimes women can give nebulous hints that you won't catch.

That is by no means a hint. U need to be a frigging psychic to know 'overwork' is code for 'I'm ******* a dude at work'. Wth!

GoW_Chick 14

Does anyone else know what the hell nebulous means, of course he didn't catch on that's the freaking point of the comment! she was trying to confess without actually having too come right out and say it.

**** hints, especially if it has to do with cheating? No, just come out with it so the relationship can be done with. It's obvious she didn't care about it.

Because she's a bitch! Wow, gowchick, you say down stupid shit.

I feel like this happens a lot. Don't people know that divorce is expensive? I met a guy a few years ago who said he was "technically" taken. What he really meant was that he felt his gf manipulated him into proposing and that had she not blackmailed him, he wouldn't have done it. I feel like girls just want to buy the dress, have a big party, and go through the motions without really thinking. People treat marriage like a trip to Vegas. It's one big party, then the hangover hits. You're left broke and confused, not really remembering what happened because it went by like in a blur. Then you have a giant tiger in your bathroom and a tattoo on your face.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to cheating before even being engaged? Also, I see that it's kind of true but I'm also a wedding planner and have not yet dealt with a couple who didn't take the relationship part of marriage seriously...

Even if they weren't engaged they were in a relationship. It's relevant because people treat marriage like it's all fun and games, the way people would during a trip in Vegas. You spend all that money and all that time knowing you're setting up a foundation for your marriage made of quicksand because of infidelity or manipulation. But then you go on down the isle with your fingers crossed. Most expensive mistake ever. It's not about glitz and glamour. It's life.

Better late than never? No probably not in this situation. Sorry op

Payback is a bitch. Cheat cheat cheat then dump her ass. Preferably after you give her and her sister crabs haha

GoW_Chick 14

Well then that would just make him look like an ass, who is married to a hoe, and has crabs, I don't see how that would help. He could just get rid of her and find someone else, preferably one who doesn't have crabs.

Whatever, after banging shanks that look like you crabs are inevitable, may as well give them to his ***** wife and sister after he bangs her to.

But then she can turn the tables and take half his shit Ina divorce

Depending on what state one lives in, a divorce is license to take 1/2 the shit no matter what

Tell her she has to go out with u to a bar, pick up a another girl and watch u fu€k the shit outta her and then try n work it out. Cause if u don't you will resent her and prolly wind up cheating cause she did. Really u should do it 3 times but cant see her allowing that. Unless she's really cool ;)

Divorce her, then re-marry. Make her pay for it, and have an open bar!

Why get married in the first place? To do it twice is just plain retarded
