Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater


Situation: She is emailing men and meeting them. Content of emails? Assuming that there is nothing concrete in the emails (ie.."last night you were terrific...by the way, did you find my panties?") She has a yahoo profile that states she is currently looking? (This is not an old account that she forgot to delete.)

Here is some possibilities...

1. She likes to flirt and is not getting it from you. That new relationship spark is dead and she is looking to fill that gap. She likes the "game" and the excitement of the emails/dates but "would never let it go too far". She feels that she doesn't need to tell you cause "it means nothing". So, can this be fixed? Maybe. Obviously, you are hurt by her actions. Would you be willing to live with the knowledge that some of her needs are being met elsewhere? Will she be able to stop? Does she want to? How can you meet these needs?

2. She is hiding the fact that she is dating because she feels guilty and knows that she is doing something wrong. She was hoping to get into a new relationship then dump you (that way she won't have to be alone). Basically, she wants out but doesn't have the guts to let go without a safety net. At first I was going to post, "why does she want out?" but after some consideration, forget it. If she is at this stage, then there are serious problems. Not necessarily, that there are problems..but the biggest problem...why did she feel that she couldn't work them out with you? It should never have gotten this far...and it probably will only get worse. Cut your losses.

3. You are overreacting. You are blinded by rage. You have read into the situation and blown it all out of porportion. When you went looking for a problem...you made sure that you found one in a few innocent emails to old school buddies. Subconciously, you were looking for a way out...and now you have found it. When she talks to you and explains it all...you will be like "ah...hmmm...well, since you put it that way..." and you will feel like a jerk.

Like I said...these are just my opinions...based alot on personal experiences. The problem with my 3 situtations, they are not 100% exclusive unto themselves. It can be #1 - 80%, #2 - 20% and she will make you feel like its #3 - 100%.

Re-reading this...I sound bitter...WOW.
I guess, you need to find out what she is doing and why. Once you get that...you need to decide if it is "fixable" or not. Everybody is different...so I can't tell you what you can or cannot handle. Good luck.

At this point Gary you have to let us know how the talk went. We are all seeing various parts of past and present relationships in what you are going through. Let us know how it is going! 8)

BTDT Gary, found out last February that my X was cheating on me after being together 25 years. I tried for 6 months to work it out, then in August I filled. She did not even show up for the court date! Hope the best for you!

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

About 7 years ago I made the biggest mistake of my life.

Like an idiot I used to screw around in those stupid Yahoo Chat rooms. I never actually met anyone to "hook up" or anything creepy like that but yes, I did spend a lot of time in there for the "wrong reasons."

My wife was going to school about 3.5 hours north of me and I was going to school down here. I'm not making excuses but my reasoning and judgement were clouded by stupid, petty, sh*t.

Of course I got caught by my then fiance' (now Missez EE) and she was hurt - mega hurt. To this day I feel like a scumbag and am grateful she had it in her heart to give me a second chance of sorts.

Initially there were trust issues, but we got everything out on the table, talked and moved on with life. And you would not catch me dead in one of those rooms or doing anything like that again.

We've been married now for over 3 years and are living a happy life. My outcome may not be typical - but I thought I'd share it FWIW.

Good luck sir.

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

Thanks everyone!
Well we spent the holiday weekend together and i beat around the bush but letting her know i knew something was up.
I thought she may confess out of guilt...no such luck.
So i told her we need to have a heart to heart talk.
Well she knows that i know something because she has asked twice if we still need to talk.
I told her yes but when i was ready i would let her know.
I figured i would let that sink into her mind awhile.
Boy is she being good to me!Saying how much she cares and couldn't live without me! Sounds like the guilt may be getting to her.
With my spying i know the emails to the other guys has stopped for now.But i do know she has met at least 2 of them after work.I don't think she has slept with them from the sound of the emails but i figure thats a matter of time.
I'm due to go back out of town the 14th for 3 weeks.
So all of this will have to be confronted to her before then..
I guess i will know then if trying to save the relationship will be an option or not.
It may be all an act she is putting on while i'm home.

Thanks everyone so much..the support helps very much!
I will keep you posted!

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

Gary Gary Gary....I have been down this dark and lonely path of sorrow and suffering. My first marriage ended in this manner. Try as I did to salvage it, all I could think about was "what is she doing right now" while I was deployed in some God-forsaken hell-hole. Even while at home, when she went to the store I would ask myself "is she really going to the store". I couldn't handle it any more, and once the divorce was final, I was much much happier. Due to our daughter, I felt there was enough reason to invest the time to make it work, but you don't have this investment. When you forgive, you invaribly give them permission to do it to you again. Is it possible to cheat, be forgiven, and never do it again? Yeah, but it is only a brave few that are successful at this. The majority of cheaters will continue to cheat. Sometimes it isn't that they will cheat in every relationship. Some relationships just aren't meant to be, and the cheating that happens is just the culmination of a bad relationship.

Basically, in a nutshell, she is behaving in a manner that is not acceptible to you. To try to get her to change will most likely result in resentment, and she will either do a better job of hiding it or stop. If she stops, you'll still wonder. An adult knows what is proper behavior in a relationship. Do you feel she is treating you like an adult in a relationship should? You should not have to spell this out to her. you should not be having to tell her "Talking and going out with other guys hurts me". There are basic guidlines in a relationship. She is acting well outside those guidelines, and in my opinion is not worth staying with.

A good person knows how to act in a relationship, that is what you want to seek out. If you have to tell them they are doing something wrong, especially of this magnitude, then you shouldn't be with them. Good luck

send those men an email from your account, explain who you are and that they should drop all contact with her, "the gig is up".

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

I think JasonJ is correct. I won't be able to worry every time i'm out of town.It may just be time to let her go.
We have had a great relationship up untill this.We always have done everything together and had a great time.
It's going to be hard just to walk away but i think it may be for the best.
Willy B the church thing is a good idea..
I have never cheated in a relationship and maybe there are still a few women that are trustworthy.
This is a tough decision..

Dump her quick, call my buddy Jack Daniels and a few friends, cry a little, ***** and wail a bunch, get screaming drunk. When the pain is gone the next day or so, do not look back at her, make her history. Good luck my friend life is too short for women like her.

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

Yahoo, Willy and I finally agree on something! Gary, read and reread Jasons post, he has summed it up in a nut shell. Of course you are putting it off but deep in your heart you know what the out come will be. When it gets down to it ask her how she would feel if the situation were reversed. If she says she would be hurt and angry but expects you not to be then you have a self centered person you are dealing with. If she says she wouldn't care then you have nothing to build on. Either way it doesn't sound like she deserves you.

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

My past experience (similar) taught me 2 things:

1.) I always have a "plan B" tucked away in the back of my mind, meaning if something similar happened to me today, if it seemed non-repair-able, then I will click in "plan B" and move on immediately. I know it is a terrible thing to say and think, but many years ago I had a similar experience to yours and didn't handle it too well. So in a way I treat such problems just as i would treat a business problem, and the stupid thing is, I have been in a good marriage for around 20+ years.
2.) The other lesson I learnt was, never tell the other "too much of what you know/how you found out", as all it ever did those years back was allow the other to ensure they didn't make the same error a 2nd time, and in that instance, they carried on as before, just a lot wiser and smarter.

The ironic thing is, my wife is a lovely person and I have nothing to fear, but i still have that built in "plan B" mentality.

This is just my opinion Gary, so please don't take it as advice as I am far from an example to follow.

Cheers
Phillip

Love is given unconditionally, Trust is not, you love her and this hurts. She must not feel the same for you or she would not be doing this to you. You will never trust her again, go find the one thats for you, shes out there somewhere!

Re: Caught my woman talking online.cheater

I've been with my wife for 31 years. She is a very attractive woman. She is the reason I'm the luckyest man on Earth and everything I do, I do to make her proud of me.
I've excelled far greater than all expectations because of her respect for me. I've been able to spend valuable energy in other places other than wondering if she's being faithful.

If she were to break that trust all that earned her that place on her pedistal would be broken.
I would run very far and very fast.

Gary, it's time for an update, what is happening? Are you still with her or did you decide to get on with your life?
