Sexting? How do you forgive and move on?

Re: Sexting? How do you forgive and move on?

  • First off, if what I just read about you getting this guy by cheating with him in the first place is true then seriously, what did you expect? 

    However, if the person who wrote that has you mixed up with someone else then I'm sorry for saying that and you should maybe report the person who posted the original one. Now, as to the advice;

    Get out now, while you're still in a position where it won't completely destroy your life and world to divorce him. The longer you stay the harder it will be on your credit history, your social life, and your self esteem. He's a cheater. He has proven to be a liar, cheater, sneak, and an opportunist. To be completely blunt, he wanted the thrill of sneaking around on you and he did, when you caught him and kicked him out the thrill was no longer there and the relationship with that girl fizzled so he cam crawling back to the good old reliable (a.k.a. you) and you caved hard core. You no longer have a leg to stand on. Had you told him being a part of your marriage was contingent on him attending counseling and whatever else it was you needed to rebuild with him BEFORE you let him come back this might have worked given enough time and the right counselor. However, you have given him the power to say no because you didn't give him an ultimatum in the first place and it's pretty impossible to go back now.

     Kick him out again, force him into counseling or serve him divorce papers if he won't go but do NOT under ANY circumstances spend the rest of your life threatening him with divorce if he doesn't do as you ask with regards to cheating and counseling etc. You will begin to hate yourself and that is SOOOOO not worth it! 

    Good Luck.  

  • I am dying that this thread keeps coming back. I just read the WHOLE thing in its entirety for the first time. Sad, right? How long have I been on here and I've never dared enter the Sexting thread? The pictures alone made it worth the half hour I killed at work.

    And my reply will bump it again. It's showing up as a Hot Topic below again, too.

    Take that biitches. LOL

     

    Oh, FFS.
  • I would not be able to forgive. I consider this cheating.

  • Even Santa is side-eyeing the hell out of this post.

     

    And yes, I bumped it. But I saw it was a "hot-topic" (what a joke at nearly a year and a half old) and couldn't resist.

  • My hubby and I do sexting, but only with each other!  I would not be happy if he was sexting with someone else :(   You need to decide for yourself if you can ever trust him again.

    The OP asked for advice on forgiving and moving on.  Would I want to be married to a cheater? No.  Would I want a friend of mine to be married to a cheater? No.

    That is why I started by saying, IF he is serious about wanting to make it work that SHE should put boundaries on how that is possible for her.  Every other piece of advice is to throw away the marriage.  While I do not think that anyone should be subject to a deceitful marriage, I do believe in giving it everything you've got before giving up (and yes, 5 love languages is cliche, so 'my bad' for suggesting it).  If he doesnt want to be married, then there's nothing she can do.  But, if he does want to make it work, I was just giving a few suggestions on things she could do if thats what she ultimately wanted as well.

    It seems the popular answer on these boards is to get out of a marriage whenever there is an issue.  I believe that people's lives are much more complex than the 3-4 paragraphs they use to describe a situation on here and they deserve to hear alternate opinions.  What I had to say was for the OP to take or leave, not for everyone else to criticize. 

    Yes
