I was cheated on by my husband. We had been married for 9 years. I met him at 17 and married at 19 (he is 5 years older than me).
I found out when I went to the doctors for what I thought was a simple infection and he told me I had an STI. I went home and confronted him and he admitted to having cheated on me with the same person over about a couple of month period (it had then been ended, by her). He moved out for a while but we decided to give it a go, we had been together a total of 11 years.
We have a little boy who was just over a year old at the time and is autistic (we found this out later) but he was quite difficult when he was little so a strain on us both. I also had put on a lot of weight and perhaps wasn't paying enough attention to my relationship.
Three years on and I still find it terribly difficult to trust him, I have just gotten off of anti depressants having taken them for 3 years. I think that I was right to give him a second chance but if he did it again I'm not sure I could do the same, it really tore me apart. I don't think I'll ever be the same, it really knocks your self confidence. Especially since the girl he cheated with was 19 and a stick insect and I am now 31 and a curvy size 14. I think if I hadn't had a child in the equation I would have been different and perhaps called it a day 3 years ago but that said I always said I couldn't forgive a partner who cheats.... that was until it happened... Good luck to everyone else who has shared their story on here. |
