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..

What's up with people and their dependency on divorce? Lol, she admitted it. She made a mistake. Work it out. Don't resort to cowardice and automatically throw out your lifelong vows you just made 3 months ago.

It's not a "dependency on divorce". I am totally against divorce EXCEPT in cases of cheating or abuse. Cheating is not a mistake. It's a big "**** you" and is totally inexcusable. There's nothing to work out. There's no cowardice in getting divorced when your spouse spits in your face like that. The person that cheats is the one that screws up the vows, not the victim. Your view on marriage is a little warped. You're basically saying "let your spouse do whatever they want but it's ok and you can't leave because you made those vows. Let them treat you like shit and disrespect you, but it's ok because you made those vows". That's not what marriage is about. You don't get a free pass to do whatever you want because you vowed to stay together.

The vows taken at marriage aren't retroactive. "...from this day forward, till death do us part."

Technically, it really doesnt matter if you talk or not, she still cheated and hid it from op. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Sounds familiar to an episode of teen mom....

So it's alright if someone cheats on you as long as they stay with you? I'd rather be single.

He was hotter than you I'm guessing

1st time shame on her 2nd time shame on u 3rd time Strike out.... better off solo... Have a trip to miami ;) u'll see what's good

She just wanted to make sure she got half ur shit after the divorce

It's up to the OP whether he wants to forgive her or not, but if they want to continue with the marriage, I'd say they've some serious work to do if they want to rebuild trust between them and move forward. I'm inclined to say "once a cheater, always a cheater," but people do make mistakes and learn from them, and I'm disinclined to comment further on OP's situation based on the limited information provided. Opening up the marriage is also a possibility, but being discovered cheating is a crappy way to break the news to your partner that you're not monogamous. If you're going to be in a poly relationship, or open marriage, you need to be open and honest with your partner about everything, and cheating is certainly setting off on the wrong foot.

If it happens 1 time, it's possible to forgive. But 3 times? Tell her to pack her bags.
