I recently discovered that my H struck up a relationship with another woman. He swears they never had sex and I'm not sure if I believe that or not. But it doesn't matter. He lied to me on more than one occasion so he could spend time with her. He told me he was working and he helped her move to another town. She had a car accident one night when I was out of town and he went to the hospital to be with her. He emailed her and told her she was a priority in his life. He says it's not cheating because they never had sex. At this point I wish it had been just sex. I'm afraid he has fallen in love with her. But now she doesn't want anything to do with him. We are separated right now and I'm trying to sort through things. Is there any way to salvage my marriage? We have a 3 year old and a 3 month old. I don't want to let my family fall apart.
Re: Did he cheat?
Yes he cheated. It's an emotional affair, I've heard this can be worse than a physical affair.
Only you can choose what is best for yourself. I would get into individual counseling and visit survivinginfidelity.com
Also, just know you
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

Yes, he DID cheat. What a PIG.
You had me at "he lied to me."
Bad bad news.
And lied to you so that he could spend time with a woman other than his wife.
Worse news than the above.
Yes it is cheating.
it is
Sex or no sex, this is infidelity. He's emotionally invested in this woman's life and well-being, he's told her she's a priority in his life, and he's lied to you about it all... it really doesn't matter if they consummated the relationship.

The first thing is that YOU didnt tear this family apart HE did!
And let me ask you...what man does all those things for a woman he hasnt slept with? He is full of sh$%t.

Sex or no sex, the fact that he lied to you so he could see another woman means he was cheating (whether it be emotionally or physically).
Also, I agree with Magsugar...I don't think a man would do all your H did for a woman he wasn't sleep
I'm so sorry you're dealing w/ this. I agree w/ the others:
- YOU aren't letting the family fall apart. He is. HE is the one doing this.
- He did cheat. Cheating isn't only about sex (although I suspect he probably did sle

Yes he did cheat on you and if I was a betting woman I would put money on him having sex with her.
