It's surprising how often those two go together.

See a marriage counselor or talk to a pastor or talk to each other. Talk to an older couple who has been married for a long time. Talk to anyone but a bunch of strangers on the internet lol.
Does he know you are airing your problems on here? Is that much different than him discussing your private life with a close friend?
I pointed this out on the first page
Well at this point I could care less.... At the end of it all I am NOT building an emtional attachment to scores of strangers., which he was doing with ONE FEMALE. There is BIG difference.
What does it mean? That you are going to keep ignoring his behavior? Don't put your head in the sand. You can be loved by someone else. Someone who truly deserves you.

He may well be right. Talking to the girl isn't a cause, it's a symptom. Agreeing to not-talk to another girl solves nothing.
Seems pretty clear to me that there's a whole 'nother side to this relationship story that we're not getting....either that or this is a troll thread...

please tell me why?
there are a lot of people who don't believe in sex before marriage, religious or not.
I am not one of them but they do exist and I applaud them for that.1 -
There's always 3 sides to a story. Her side, his side and the truth...0

What?! How is speaking to a woman about you and telling her he is attracted to her even alright!!!!!!!0

Im not sure what hurts the most, the fact that I think he is justified in not being attracted to me, or that he is not, and is attracted to another woman. This hurts super bad!
It's hard to be attracted to someone that is down on themselves. If you hate what you see in the mirror, then change it.
But your new husband sounds like a real piece of work. If there is a problem in the marriage, the proper thing to do would talk to your spouse. Instead he is on the phone telling another girl he's attracted to her. That seems a huge red flag that something is very, very wrong. And it's not your waistline.0 -
Don't waste your precious life being in an unhappy relationship.0

I'm of the "whatever floats your boat" mentality and do not judge others for their choices so long as they accept any/all consequences to those choices.
So for ME, it is as simple as asking, "Would you buy a car without a test drive first?" "Would you buy a house without a proper inspection?" "Would you have surgery without speaking with the surgeon ahead of time?"
To me, each question is answered with a resounding "HELL NO!"
FWIW, I'll have been married to the same guy 25 years in September. Neither of us were virgins when we met.

There are a lot more problems in this situation than weight gain. He doesn't respect his vow to you, your relationship or how much hurt his behavior causes you. I'm sure you aren't perfect, as none of us are. But 5 months in and he's cheating?0

This is why I suggested counseling. If not marriage, then personal counseling for both. He's got to get his sexual issues and expectations figured out and she needs to find her self-confidence. If they separate BOTH of these issues will just reappear in the next relationship. Might as well try to get it all figured out now.0 -

What he said....
I told him we need to talk, and he said ok. I knew he knew what i saw because i had been quiet for a few days and he was being extra mushy and loving. Anyway I told him what I saw on his phone. I spoke first and said how I felt, that I was REALLLY hurt, and I couldn't believe it. He apologized immediately, and said that he realize it was wrong and inappropriate...
...some of the things he said:-
- He just got caught up
- Its not that he is really attracted to her
- Concerning our sex life, he just expected more out of it
- He did not address the fact that he said he is not attracted to me
- we got into talking about our sex life, he said he just wants me to do more. I had no problem with this, but why not tell me that, not your FEMALE friend.
I approached this convo very calm and hopeful that it would be resolved, while I was hurt, I was still trying to over look it. Why I posted this and why im still hurt is the fact that while discussing he had the audacity to ask why I only focusing on the fact that he said he is attracted to the other girl.... THATS when I FLIPPED. And it just hit me, this man is CLEARLY Oblivious to His role as a Husband, to the purpose of marriage etc.
So now im EXTREMELY concerned for my future, and being in this marriage.
Other notes:-
We were both virgins before we got married
Yes there were other offences before
I was questioning getting married to him
Yes he uses the word 'u' while texting (lol)
I am bolding all the parts that support my evidence of a troll thread.
you said you were both virgins but then say that he expected more out of your sex life? If he was a virgin then how could he have higher expectations...??? Unless he is watching porn all the time and that is what he is basing his expectations off...
Actually, that bit made lots of sense to me. I can see a 30 year old virgin to have built up in his head all of the OMG MAGICAL FURNITURE BREAKING SEXYTIME! And then be bitter and resentful when his partner (also a virgin) isn't a living Kama Sutra.
Dudes who have done the deed tend to know what to expect, you know? And, seriously....HE is inexperienced and disappointed? I'd guarantee that if he was really and truly a virgin until 30? Poor OP is REALLY missing out. Because if he's got unrealistic expectations of HER, I'd wager lots of internet dollars on a definite lack of skillz on his part.
well you have a point there...
I guess in a round a bout way I was saying if he was getting his idea from porn then he probably had high expectations...but it did not come out right < no pun intended....1 -

Like any consistant couple it takes time to learn the others likes. Even if they are both virgins then they have time to learn and grow together.
Now does he have expectations of what he has never had before her. I would say 100% he does. How many possibilities?
Yes, but I'd guess that the learning curve is exponentially steeper when you are dealing with total two total noobs. They're figuring out their own preferences as well as their partner's. And, seriously, given dude's willingness to be "disappointed" and having a borderline emotional affair only 5 months in to their sexual relationship? I'm guessing that he's not really dedicated to learning about HER wants and preferences. And, you know, generally speaking, the ladyjunk tends to be a little less self-explanatory for new operators, you know?0 -

I don't think he is cheating yet...
sounds like he might be "sexting" with someone because his virgin expectations about sex have not been met....

man, I could take this one in like a thousand different directions, but I am just going to shut up .....LOL0 -
Define cheating.
I think the operators manual says hammer on it until it surrenders.
Right?0 -
If you wouldn't say or do it in front of your spouse, you shouldn't do it behind their backs. Just my opinion....0

Sounds like he's an @sshole, that sort of thing is never cool or justifiable... if he isn't happy he should have balls to say something to you! This is the lowest form of low, he is the bad one not you.0
