For All The Foolish Women Who Think Their Man Is So Faithful

I was six months pregnant with twins (11 years of pregnancy losses and ultimately IVF). On Valentine's day, my husband said he had a meeting to go to. I became upset and to sooth me, my husband was going out to get me take out food. On his way out of our house, he encountered the women he had been seeing. Needless to say, she called me at work the next day (she found my work number on my husband's cell phone) and told me the terrible details of their affair... and I mean everything!  The thing that really hurt is she said that my husband told her he wanted her to have his baby (even though they were having protected sex) because I could have his child.  But you know, if she hadn't told me, I would never have gotten the truth out of my husband. Now looking back, I remember my husband making numerous excuses about having late meetings, conferences, parties (all work related). He even got to the point of sneaking out at night.  I would wake up at 1 and 2AM to find him gone! I was six months pregnant and devastated. For a long time after I had the twins, he continued to have the affair -- that was almost four years ago. I don't know where things stand now and yes, we are still married and together. I feels as though our marriage is on automatic pilot and I'm watching from the wings. I've lost the passion and trust I once had for him. I can not call him my best friend anymore... and I can't say that I'm in love with him either. What a waste!

Hi Leona,

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. Some men can be real jerks. You and your babies really don't deserve someone like your husband in your lives. That being said, not all men are and we just need to hope that the men that we have in our lives don't fall into the jerk catagory. I trust my fiance and he has never given me any reason to not trust him. I just hope that it will stay that way. Take care and keep strong.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

_______________________________________________

Leona, you are posting questions with scenarios that are not yours and allowing others to think that they are.

You have another question in which you say you have been with your boyfriend for two years, but you've now discovered he's cheating on you.

I suspect all of your questions are either completely made up, or embellishments of tales of woe from your ladies group friends.

Yes, it is unfortunate that your friends have ended up with losers.

Yes, some men cheat.

However, you seem unable to realize that because SOME women have been screwed over does not mean ALL men should be tarred with the same brush.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason why it seems to you that all men are bad is because you are not attending any groups where you hear positive stories?

No one is attempting to tell you that you cannot believe the way you do.

What we are saying is that you are trying to sway everyone on Yedda over to your way of thinking by saying that your beliefs are the truth, and the ONLY truth - and THAT, my sour little lemon, is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

You not only refuse to acknowledge that there is another view of thought; you denigrate, disparage and attempt to destroy anyone with a more positive viewpoint.

Were these scenarios actually yours, you would find that we would offer you sympathy as well as advice. That's because even those of us in happy relationships (where we trust our partners and know they are not cheating) are aware that there are others who are not so lucky.

But we don't need to follow your advice to hire detectives. We are lucky. Our partners love, trust and respect us and we do the same to them.

Leona, misery loves company but we decline your invitation.

In other words, we don't need to crowd into the boat along with you and the Sisters of Lamentation. You and your friends are doing a wonderful job all by yourselves.

Hi Werdz, and thanks. I generally attempt to be fair, though I realize I am not always successful. Here's an explanation of my remarks:

Except this did not happen to Leona, yet she writes it as "I." It is exactly as I said, she wants all other women to join her in the 'ain't life nasty, my man's a cheater' boat, but the reality is; some of us have no need to be there.

If this truly had happened to Leona, I would gladly offer her advice and support. If it happened to a friend of hers, I think it's terrible and I would encourage her friend to see an attorney and take the man for all he's worth.

But that's not what Leona wants to hear. Leona wants to hear us all moan, "Oh no, I'm so stupid. How could I ever trust my man? Now I know what you and your friends have been saying. Oh, woe is me..."

Meanwhile, I believe in honesty. I have no problem with Leona posting a statement containing her opinion and leaving it at that.

What I have a problem with is her tendency to ask Yedda members for their thoughts, opinions and/or advice, and then, when she receives an answer which does not conform to her preconceived beliefs, she disparages and calls names.

Most of her nastiness appears in the Comments section. If you go to her profile and peruse her Comment history, you will see that of which I speak.

It is nasty, hateful and uncalled for. She does it to anyone who displeases her (not just my friends and I).

I believe in free speech, but I also believe in taking a stand and fighting back.

I'm fighting back.
