AnswerFirst, pray. Second, be a friend. You might babysit if she needs time in court, or counseling.

A bit more:

Make sure she knows that it most likely has nothing to do with her. There are some men who just don't have it in them to be faithful, no matter how much he may love his wife, or how much she loves him, and no matter how good a wife she was to him. Also, some men are just natural born jerks.

Just keep being there for her, and listen when she needs to talk. She will probably need to talk a lot in the first few months, sometimes even at 2:00 a.m., when it's the lonliest time of all. Do all you can to help restore her self esteem, because something like this really causes a person's self esteem to hit rock bottom.

But at the same time, don't "trash out" her husband, or this could put her in the position of feeling she needs to defend him. And that will take her longer to get over him. As long as she feels the need to defend the man she loves, and thought she knew, the longer it will take her to see for herself just what kind of person he really is.

In time, the anger will hit her, but only after she runs the gamut of other emotions, such as hurt, shock, denial, etc. And the sooner the anger hits, the better. Anger is a much easier emotion to deal with than hurt, and is also a good way to resolve herself to never allow him to hurt her again.

He do you get a husband back that filed for divorce?

Unfortunately, if your husband filed for divorce he means business and wants to end the marriage and it would be wise to see a lawyer to be sure you get what is due you. If he wanted time for both of you to live on your own and think things out he would have only filed for a separation. A small percentage of people remarry their divorced mate sometime in the future.

Dating after divorcing a cheating husband?

Yes. of course! Its a cheating. You can't do like that. Divorce is taken when you feel uncomfortable with your partner after your marriage.!! The marriage is not a business and its a bonder of relationship with your husband and you, you and your childern. You can not take such hard decisions to cheat/make hurt your partner. Of course now a days everyone feels to get divorce even if your partner makes small mistakes. We should understand his/her feelings. We should obey his/her good and bad things. and we should love and care them for life long.
