A long time ago the inlaws brought over a computer, my wife was a stay @ home mom and claimed it was for the children and their homework….they were 2 and 3. Over the years my wife would play games, always part of the inlaws gamming. Once FB came out my wife was on it all the time….house went to the dogs, laundry wasn’t done, and dinner was burnt on a regular basis. The inlaws told me my wife had a problem but she wouldn’t quit. She went off to Calif for a weekend get away w/ the girls…turned out to be an old HS friend….she had sex w/ him for points on Farmville!!! I was crushed. Her reasons for remaining friends w/ him was “she couldn’t loose the points” So sad.. we have 4 children, and now we are getting divorced..but I have learned that was just the tip of the iceberg..there have been other men she has been sleeping w/ from FB…all from HS! She claims she was sick and is better now but I gave her 18mo and 36 weeks of Marriage Counsling….she was just w/ another man from HS a few weeks ago. Funny, in HS she was so shy, she didn’t have any friends…and now she is out of control. I worry about my girls…they see mom talking about sex to men on FB…what kind of young ladies will they become? Most of her family know what happened and have quit FB, the ones who don’t remain. I pray for her, she has hurt so many people and lives w/ the guilt, I pray she gets better before she destroys the relationships w/ her own children.
So sorry for your pain. My Husband met his “soulmate”( a 40 year old married woman no kids and never worked a day in her life) a total stranger he started chatting online with. She used her husband’s money telling him she needed to get away and relax ( from all that not doing anything); she rented a beach cottage less than a mile from our house. He left several times to be with her but is back now. It is hard to let him come home but we have a son in college and money is tight. She’s tried to contact him and I really don’t trust him. I still cry everyday and Christmas is hard because he left to be with us in the middle of a trip to see family. He still uses FB and just wants to pretend nothing happened. Friendships and families have been destroyed and I am sad to say it’s becoming more common. Stay strong and know you are not alone.
Sorry to hear about that and I appreciate your faith but you need to move on. Make sure your praying for her isn’t actually holding on to the relationship.
Marie, I know what you are going through but you need to leave him. You are in an unhealthy relationship and I can guarantee you are not happy. Money troubles or not, you will feel better without him. You will have more energy, you will be happier even the sun will seem brighter, seriously. Life is much better when you aren’t in a relationship with a cheater.
