Topic: Will it ever change

I married my husband after only 10 days.... I know what was I thinking... Anyway that was almost 10 years ago as I am sure you can all imagine it hasn't been an easy road. The first 2 years were the best. I didn't worry about him cheating or any other problems. Then he started going out at night while I was working and taking my daughter to some other woman's home. My daughter was told not to tell me but he didn't tell her not to tell anyone so she told my mother who told me and I went crazy. We split up..I was thru. That lasted about 4 months or more and he started calling non stop wanting to work it out. Well I didn't like the girl he left me for so to get back at her I let him come back. So I thought ok I can make this work and get past what he had done. things where good for year 4 by year 5 things went down hill. He talks to females on the computer and on his cell phone. He claims they are just friends and most are also married and just want someone to talk to about there problems. I have told him in the past that his talking on the phone and the computer bothers me. If he takes longer then I feel it should to go some where or get home I think he is with someone else. He swears that he isn't cheating on me but I feel in my gut that he is. He is a good guy and a great provider. The other problem is we have nothing in common. I can't think of one thing that we have in common other then we both love my daughter. I have been dealing with him staying out late or not coming home until the next day with some excuse about drinking and passing out with the guys for about 4 years. I don't trust him and I don't think he is ever going to stop talking to other woman. Even if he isn't having sex with the woman he is talking and spending time with them. Do you think after almost 10 years I should walk away? What do you think? Some one help me???
Thanks!!!!!

As a guy, I have had a lot of friends that were very much the same and I can tell you, catagorically, they were all cheating. Being the victim of a spouse that cheated, I have no doubt. Also having acouple of daughters, you need to do what is right for our daughter.   She deserves a stable environment.  There are good men out there.  Best Wishes

I don't think years together matter.  If you have expressed your discomfort with his choice of friends then it is directly disrespectful for him to insist on talking to them.  I'm not talking about everyone he talks to, but certainly any women, married or not.  These women just need someone to talk to, but what about you?  He wants to be there for total strangers, but he leaves his wife feeling neglected and alone?  I'm not sure if he's physically cheating, but infidelity can also start in the mind.  He's thinking about, talking to, spending time with (even if just online) people who aren't supposed to be as important to him than you.  So why does he continue to choose them over you?  If you need help to really decide what you need to do, just think of this.  Your daughter sees how her parents relate to each other.  She will either believe that this is the way it is and subject herself to cheating, neglectful men as well, OR she will see the problem with the situation, vow to never let that happen to her, and think you weak and maybe lose respect for her mother who never stood up for herself.  Both choices suck.  You really need to do something soon.

just my opinion

Maybe you should take up some of his hobbys see if thats ok with him. some people just don't get it until it happens to them
