Asked about “Love & Sex on AOL Coaches

My husband is emotionally cheating with his first wife!

After 30 years, my husband's first (remarried) wife got back in contact with him and began sending him valentines and romantic gifts-- even named a star after him-- with her husband's money (she doesn't work.) She is constantly telling him how awful her husband is and how she only stays with him for the medical insurance. She tells my husband that he is wonderful and walks on water. 

My husband won't cut her off, won't buy her medical insurance, but does give her pricey gifts from the Apple store! A year ago I confronted them both about their hours-long late-night phone calls and they agreed to quit but now she emails him and You-Tubes him romantic stuff daily. She also sends him magazine subscriptions.

It is as if she is moving into my home day by day even though she is 1000 miles away. My husband is a happy client of the Emotional Lending Tree.com, and seems to have no incentive to stop her! Is my marriage toast?

Love knows no bounds.

I agree with Oron. You need to confront your husband. Without yelling, you need to make it very clear to him where you stand and what you are and are not willing to accept. After you explain how you are feeling to him, if he insists on continuing communication with his ex-wife, I'd suggest seeking out a marriage counselor immediately.

Good luck!

It sounds like my question...exactly to the t...I put an end to the 4 - 7 hours phone calls by blocking her number and canceling outgoing long distance calls...in a way you are blessed because my husband's chum who is still married to my husband's twin brother...she lives only 100 miles away, whereas your husband's ex-wife lives 1000 miles away. So, if they don't get in contact by travel, then your chances of keeping your husband are greater. Talking to my husband didn't work, but I finally confronted my sister-in-law in a friendly manner, [after I had called her on a few occasions calling her every name in the book]...this time I told her nicely that she used to be like a sister to me and ....to make a long story short, we agreed to be like sisters again and she promised not to talk explicit sex stuff in her emails anymore to my husband.  So we are now emailing each other like the way we used to and she told me that she is becoming closer to her husband again.

p.s. if you do confront the other woman who is still MARRIED, ask her if she would like it if it were you doing the same thing to her husband?
