I do know how you feel because I was married before and separated at the age of 24 and got a divorce as quickly as I could. To me marriage was forever and I realized I had made a big mistake. My husband cheated on me several times and with more than one woman. All the signs were there from the time we went together He was mentally abusive and soon it turned physical. I finally caught the drift that it no one should have to put up with anyone cheating and certainly not abusive behavior and I left! Of course I was broken-hearted and scared. Still, I found a nice apartment, changed my job and made better money, made new friends and after a couple of months I felt like a caged bird set free and I never looked back on my decision with any regrets. If I hadn't have left him it would have only been a matter of time before he left me. I refused to let this man make me a man-hater (same applies to men being a woman-hater) and forged on. I eventually met and married a wonderful man and we have been married for 33 years. When someone you love cheats on you it breaks a trust between the two of you that should never have been broken in the first place, and you can never get that trust back (if you are the cheater ... not accusing you of this.) Often when the cheater goes his/her merry way, 89% of the time they find they have either made a mistake or they can't stand the fact their ex is seeing someone else and is actually unhappy. The cheater will often start phoning until some end up begging for that second chance. Once a person has cheated it takes years for them to gain your trust and perhaps they never will gain it. Realize that two people are plain old chemistry and this isn't the right person for you. We all make mistakes and since we don't know ourselves 100% we can't be expected to know someone else 100%. Many people think grieving is only saved for the loved ones that pass on, but not true. We can grieve over pets, our homes flooding or burning, traumas in our lives, wars, or the realization of a lost love. Take a couple of months to go through some of the grieving process, but also take this time to get to know who you are and what you are about and realize just how precious you are to many, and also how strong you really are. Once you get the drift of these good qualities in yourself there isn't anything you can't handle. I always say to myself, "There are only two things I can rely on 100%, God and myself." Once you have had a chance to get your feet under you, then get out with friends, start having some fun and enjoy the freedom that comes with it. Go on that trip you may have wanted to go on, and if you can't afford that then go places in your City that you have always wanted to go too and just enjoy yourself. Start spoiling yourself for a change. I am a firm believer all of us have to go through some rough times in our lives to know the good that should be in our lives and weed out the bad so we can forge forward and become stronger individuals. Hang on, it gets a whole lot better! God Bless Marcy

Do you picture your spouse cheating again?

Could you really trust your spouse to change if the affair he had would be his last?
When a spouse breaks that bond of trust it will take several months to possibly a year or more (of good behavior) for that cheating husband to earn the trust back from their spouse. The victim of a cheating spouse should never make it easy for the cheater to come back into their lives and continue on as if nothing has happened, but, they should not harp at the cheating spouse or the relationship would wither away. To err is human and sometimes either men or women make a mistake and cheat, but some never cheat again while others may find themselves cheating over and over again. This is why it is important for the victim of cheating to tell their spouse they will only take them back if they agree to go to marriage counseling where the marriage counselor can give them the tools to correct the weak areas in the marriage. If the cheating spouse refuses, then it is better to walk away from the marriage.
Can you man trust his wife after she cheated?
No, once a spouse has cheated they have broken that bond of trust even though humans are not perfect and can make one mistake by cheating on their spouse. The spouse that was cheated on will always have that hurt tucked away in the back of their minds and be very wary of their spouse cheating again. However, many times a spouse may cheat; that bond of trust broken, but if it was just a one time issue then the married couple can still have a good strong marriage if they work on their communication skills and are honest with each other regarding their feelings.
My husband cheated on me again. What should I do?
Once a spouse has cheated it is difficult for the other spouse to trust them again. Often some people who cheat will cheat again. Communication skills are important and you should feel free to ask him if he is cheating again. Most likely he will not tell you the truth, but this gives you the opportunity that you have learned from before the signs of cheating and if you catch him cheating again then it's the end of the marriage.

Why do the ugly images of spouse adultery refuse to go away?
When a spouse gives their other spouse all their love; trust and loyalty they always feel their spouse will do the same so when the spouse has an affair it comes as a shock to the other spouse. It is heartbreaking; that treasured bond of trust you once had in your spouse has gone and not easily earned back. It is normal to envision your cheating spouse being with someone else and enjoying themselves and it makes you question yourself as far as 'did I do something wrong; perhaps not enough and I let my partner down'; 'is our sexual relationship not good enough and did I do anything wrong; to 'does my cheating spouse think I am not attractive enough' or in some cases 'have I lost my looks and I'm too old and they don't want me anymore.' This makes the victim of a cheating spouse feel insecure and eventually they become angry and resentful and find it difficult to forgive their spouse for the cheating; the victim cannot feel sympathy for their spouse; the victim has a deep seated urge to pay back their cheating spouse for all the hurt he/she caused them and this in turn involves a poor sexual relationship because the victim feels when their cheating spouse is making love they are still thinking of the other person they cheated with. Marriage counseling can help, but it is entirely up to you (you hold the power) to either move on from the marriage or see a marriage counselor to learn the tools to deal with any problems in your marriage, but it takes the both of you to make it work. As far as your trust in your spouse it will take time and it is entirely up to them to earn that trust again.

Could you really start fresh with your spouse after his affair knowing that he also done it before?
People are only human and can make a mistake, but they should learn from that mistake and obviously your spouse has not learned or does not want to learn from the first mistake of cheating because he has done so again and therefore, no, you cannot trust him again as he has broken that bond of trust. Trust is not easy to attain once broken. He is either immature or does not want to commit to one woman and you are going to have to decide if you want to live a life with him of always wondering if he is going to cheat again.

Why cheating ruins trust in marriage?
Vows were taken in a marriage to love and honor and the couple are expected to stay together for the rest of their lives. When a spouse cheats they break this bond of trust and it is extremely difficult to gain back if the spouse being cheated on doesn't ask for a divorce first. Cheating is sleazy; selfish and hurts not only the husband or wife; but any children they have and perhaps members of both sides of the family. When a spouse cheats they are not only cheating, but they are lying to their spouse.
Do you think your spouse is cheating but he is not?
Yes, some individuals can think their spouse is cheating when they are not. Some individuals have a jealous streak because they are not confident in themselves or perhaps have been hurt by someone else in the past that did cheat. Once an individual has been cheated on previously they are more inclined to be more suspicious of their new spouse cheating. This is where good communication skills is most important in a relationship and you should feel free to discuss how you feel with your spouse and then listen to what they have to say. There are male and female spouses who do cheat, but in most cases the signs are there or eventually the spouse cheating will give themselves away or be caught. We all risk a spouse cheating throughout our life spans, but thankfully a higher percentage do not cheat. Your relationship should be based on trust and if you do not feel you have it then work on it by communicating with your spouse or, if you are having difficulties with thinking your spouse is cheating there is nothing wrong with seeing a psychologist to get you over your difficult time.
