in Introduce Yourself
I am 33 years old and truly in love with my husband. We have had a marriage of 10 years and I plan to make it 75 years but I found out 3 weeks ago that he was on an online dating site and it almost broke my heart to no repair. I have been unhappy with myself for a long time and instead of getting motivated and doing something about it I just sit on my butt. Well that is over now but I need supporting friends and a check and balance system. My husband and I both want to have the marriage we seem to have lost and so we are both working on the issues together but I need friends who are working on losing weight as well.

    We have a lot of history not all good but more good than bad and I don't want to lose my husband I think we were both too wrapped up in the kids and life in general and not giving each other enough attention and not all the bad in the past 10 years have been his fault so I will forgive and forget but not again and secretly I check the online cell phone accounts and know his every move lol until I can trust again.

    I remember finding my ex on a dating site, while we were still together... it was awful. Fortunately for me at that point I already pretty much knew it was over, so I wasn't blindsided by that, at least... but it was kind of heartbreaking to see her list out what she was looking for in a partner. It was basically a list of everything she hated about me.

    That can be devastating. I'm glad you are both committed to working on it; but he better have a lot of work to do before you trust him again.

    I am so sorry. I had infidelity in my marriage early on and we worked through it, but it eventually failed.

    Thoughts and prayers with you hun. Friends are important right now and let them love and support you through this, you will survive and and I promise it will get better.

    Use this momentum to work on yourself. And only for yourself.

    I won't comment on the infidelity or the tracking of his phones/activities, since that's your prerogative apparently.

    Get caught cheating, convince your wife it's her fault and she needs to lose weight.


    Some guys have all the moves.
    ^^This...sorry I know it's hard but if you can't have honesty and trust in your relationship you really need to think if it's what you want from your life

    my former (deceased) husband had cheated on me also but we had no more children in the house. I was devastated however
    I was a practicing Christian & knew with God all things are possible especially forgiveness. Complete trust took several years but it eventually came & last ten years of his life as my husband were worth forgiving him.

    You know, there is a very strong possibility that your husband's infidelity has nothing to do with your fitness level, and everything to do with his inability to stay in a monogamous relationship and uphold the vows you both took. Trust is a fragile bird, once broken it is almost never fully able to be repaired. Trust me, I know.

    I have to get on board with this, too.

    Putting up a dating profile takes work and intent. It doesn't just happen by accident - he thought it through.

    I know this is really hard, so I don't want to pile on here. There are people who can forgive and forget cheating, and then there are those who can't When I was little, my family was torn apart by cheating. I have also been cheated on. I am one of those women who just can't get past it, because this is a really sore area for me. I would have to move on.

    If you stay, I would recommend counseling (individually and together). If you stay, there will come a time when you have to trust him enough to leave the phone records alone. If you can't do this, then you may need to move on.

    Not to be mean but I hope you realize that his infidelity will never end. To go on a dating site while married is just awful. I don't care if you've been unhappy with yourself and unmotivated, there is no excuse for his action.

    I feel for you Nikki, don't play the fool .

    Yep. My thoughts, too. Sadly, you losing weight will never fix his lack of commitment and character.

    You are a better woman than me because he would have been living in a hotel.

    You should be on this journey for you not him.
