Has anyone ever regretted shagging behind their wife or husband's back when thing's have come out in the open?

I haven't,but the way I feel at the moment I want to fall gently of a windswept cliff and this is 8 year's on. I don't want him that's not what this is about.

I just need to vent in here before I go mad. How did thing's go so terribly wrong.

We make choices in life, some good, some bad. Some are easy to reverse, some aren't so easy. Without going into specifics I can't help and I'm not sure if anyone else can. If you want to pm me then please feel free

People cheat for various different reasons and unless you talk about why it went wrong with your other half you won't be able to understand. Your looking for answers and I hope you find them but in the end you you'll come to realise there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it from happening and when you do you'll be at peace

No, I've never regretted cheating on my husband.

I wasn't found out either, I was the one who told him in the end because I couldn't go on being married to him anymore.

Certain things I would change but that concerns my son more than my husband.

My ex husband that is.

I don't know whether to smash some thing or cry. The consequences when people cheat can sometimes last forever if there's children involved. He cheated and now I only see one of my two children after just finding something out. He went on to re-marry and have his own biological child,which is fine,so why am I the one being made out to be the monster?!

Non of this make's sense to anyone I know,I just want a venting board but I'm worn out with it all.

I just wonder if those that cheat can look into the future and see the devastation it causes in the kid's if thing's come out would they still do it?!

Because it sounds as though he's the type to project his guilt onto you. My ex did exactly the same. It was all my fault, when in reality he was cheating with numerous women. He doesn't see that he was at fault and blames me for changing.

Just the way some people are, can't say it's a man thing as I know some women can be the same.

I hope you feel better about things later, it's the whole not being able to control what's happening and being a good mom and wanting to protect your children that gets frustrating. X

When we split I had to ask him to take our eldest adopted daughter for a while as she went into herself more than she normally did. We were all in pain,it was supposed to be temporary until thing's became stable again,but thing's worked well and she stayed.

I've just recently read a report from some councilling she had,in it she said I regularly told her and her sister that I wanted them to die,which chilled me to the bone.

All I ever wanted was a family,a husband and children.

I don't judge people who are attached and are on here or who have affairs

Just don't shove it in my face or try and change my opinion of not wanting to get involved

As for how to get over the spouse cheating on you

It takes time

It took me a divorce and therapy to get over it

I know exactly what you feel.

All I wanted was to be married with a husband I loved and my kid.

I left him. It took me 4 years to leave him even though he was cheating on me.

Every situation is personal and different person to person, I don't think there is one answer as to why and who is at fault,

If you know you are not in the wrong and your friends/family know the same,

All you can do is hold your head up high be there for your children and carry on enjoying you life,

Don't let others influence your life especially if its all negative

In my case, no. If I loved him, I wouldn't have cheated on him. I wasn't happy a long time before I cheated and I wasn't looking to cheat. It just happened and I fell in love with someone else. It wasn't just sex either, we went on to live together for about 12 years.

My son still sees his dad and I have a good relationship with my son too. I don't speak to my ex husband much because my son is old enough to contact him himself.

Things were acrimonious at first but then after a while, they calmed down and now things are fine.

I have cheated 3 time in 6 years, which I have told him about. The most recent was a couple months ago.

I loved it and is craving more...

He (Chucky) hated it and still hates it

I know it is bad, but it becomes a addiction, I will be good tho as it hurt him.

Reading this probaly makes me sound like a heartless slut, but I do love Chucky!...

That's what I find hard to believe when people say they still love you,but all the while are cheating. My girl's had already been through a lot with being adopted and then we threw a whole lump of crap on them,although for a few year's after we did still talk at schools events and so on for their sakes.

Now I'm waffling

I tried,she was at her dad's so texted her. At first I wasn't going to say anything,but it was festering on my mind. I told her I wasn't annoyed with her just incredibly shocked. She went on the defensive and said anything she's said to the councillor is confidential and against the Law for anything to be said.

If you're on speaking terms with your ex, maybe see if he will attend mediation with you to see things can be sorted between both you and your daughter.

I'm not any more. He texted earlier accusing me of saying something to my youngest which I never said. The two girls don't get on so hurtful word's were flung around and I apparently was the cause of it,I'm not even bloody there.

I need to distance myself for a while for my own sanity and well being. My youngest has just texted actually to say she stuck up for me because they don't realise how I feel and what I try to do for people which mean's a lot to me. She's growing up now and realising how much a parent actually does.

I'm not being the nicey nicey person anymore to him,I told him my eldest alway's complains when she comes to mine about him and his wife which she does. Spiteful I know,but that shut him up.

Thankyou for listening to my moaning,I need to shower and switch off now if possible,watch some crap tv!

I don't regret it because I can rationalise it. That doesn't make it ok. It just means I don't feel a bit of guilt.

My wife would be devastated and that's not nice, but I'm an adult and realise my actions have reactions and consequences.

Ultimately because of the above I only meet people in a similar situation

OP - I hope you feel better this morning. I've been cheated on and it makes you feel awful. You wonder what you did for it to happen, but I honestly think some people just can't be faithful. They can compartmentalise love and sex. So they can still love you, but would you call it love if there is dishonesty. I'm not sure I would. Not real love anyway.

It's not as simple as finding out your husband has had sex with someone though is it. Totally depends on the type of person you are as well. You'll have questions, you'll look inward, you'll feel betrayed, there's a million different emotions that you would feel.

A little harsh maybe, I don't think we can judge someone's state of mind when they perceive a trauma. We just all handle things to a better or worse extent

Thankyou and I agree. It's hard to believe someone still loves you when they've just ruined the family unit. You can tell yourself it was just sex and I tried to,but when thing's fall into place afterwards you realise how stupid you was in not seeing all the signs.

This is more about the aftermath year's later down the line where there's children involved.

People don't necessarily think in a rationale manner when in despair.

It's all relative to the individual. It's not necessarily that they wish to die, they simply don't know how to live like they are. It may seem melodramatic to an outsider but we're all different shades. I hope things have improved.

I really appreciate the support and understanding from you and the other posters. Thank you.

There is nasty element on here that had done a lot to colour my view of fab. The men and women who condone violence against women, not just physical. The women who belittle other women in the constant competition they and some of the men create. So a post designed to be cruel doesn't have the same impact it would've done.

Nevertheless, I appreciate the support. It was a hard time. The cheating was bad enough, but the lies, the twisting, made me feel that I was mad as well as unloveable.

No that's ok you weren't hijacking. I think it's good to get across that there are sometimes consequences when someone cheats. Maybe lot's get away with it and it has no effect on either party,but sometimes the affects are huge.

Perhaps some do. I can only answer from a personal point of view. I can compartmentalise my life and have no regrets about seeking some fun of a sort that I just don't get at home.

Some will no doubt call me selfish but we all have needs and desires.

What if your wife is saying exactly the same thing on another forum? Be honest.

When I hear men say that their wife isn't interested in sex anymore,but he still has needs I can't help but think the wife hasn't gone off sex she's just gone off sex with you.

I don't think there's another word to use other than selfish ( lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.)

If someone's not happy with the situation their in then do something mature, talking, leave or counselling. Yeah people will say it's not that easy to leave someone when you have a house a marriage or kids, but it was easy enough to cheat without thought.

And cheating normally comes with some form of secret routine, hidden texts, late nights at work, extra showers or whatever it is. That seems more effort than sitting down being honest and talking.

And I think some people who cheat where you hear the excuses of d*unkenness and it literally was a one night thing, can probably feel guilt about it and feel bad, but there's still something inside their head that didn't think logically and if drinking makes that happen don't drink. Affairs I don't think people do feel bad, cause to lead two different life's takes planning and manipulation. So most times they can justify it. And the blame falls everywhere else other than themselves as it's easier than to feel guilt or take responsibility for their partner being upset, angry and hurt. Which again is selfish.

We teach our kids that if you hurt someone say sorry and teach them the reasons why it's not ok. Yet grown adults often can't do the right thing and accept responsibility for their cheating. And often it leaves the ex with more questions and self doubt or the feeling of worthlessness. Which isn't fair.

Op it's ok to rant and feel hurt, but that's not soothing you. You can't carry that around with you after years it's not fair on you. I don't mean to sound condescending but try Cbt therapy to learn techniques etc if you haven't already. And the children hopefully as they get older will be able to understand and see more. Until then it's going to be hard. Maybe you could keep a memory box for them of letters or other things when it was happier or how you love them etc and just wait until their older.

"I don't think there's another word to use other than selfish ( lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.)

And cheating normally comes with some form of secret routine, hidden texts, late nights at work, extra showers or whatever it is. That seems more effort than sitting down being honest and talking.

My ex's cheating apparently started off as a d*unken one night thing,then clearly thought they'd both continue with it. After the initial shock I laughed at him as it was with some young girl at work,it was pathetic. He didn't like being laughed at,I didn't laugh for long though.

My youngest used to blame me she was only 6 as I told daddy to leave,it's only in the last few year's she's had a better understanding of it. Daddy was a saint because I was the one doing the routine discipline stuff and he got to do the fun stuff at the weekend,not saying that we didn't have fun we did.

Everytime I had to tell her off she would throw it back in my face,when I got a boyfriend she became the clingiest child ever it was like she was putting a stamp on me,claiming me as her own making a huge point to my boyfriend. That caused conflict because I told him if that's what she feels she has to do then I'm not going to push her away. She could be at the other side of the room,but as soon as he appeared she was on my knee and wouldn't budge. I just told him to wait until their bedtime,he was a jealous so and so anyway so that didn't last long.

Sadly one parent ends up being bad cop and at that minute the child doesn't obviously see reason. The older they get they will see.

And your youngest might have been worried that she'd get less attention if you had a bf so it was her way of marking her territory so to speak, or to keep you safe from getting hurt again.

Get a bag of ice cubes and bash the shit out of it with a rolling pin to get some anger out, then use the ice for cocktails. I normal use old plates but they are a bit crunchy.

Do these people ever regret doing it,I don't know?!

Perhaps some do. I can only answer from a personal point of view. I can compartmentalise my life and have no regrets about seeking some fun of a sort that I just don't get at home.

Some will no doubt call me selfish but we all have needs and desires.

What if your wife is saying exactly the same thing on another forum? Be honest.

When I hear men say that their wife isn't interested in sex anymore,but he still has needs I can't help but think the wife hasn't gone off sex she's just gone off sex with you. "

That's possible, but the end result is the same.

Yeah when someone bares their soul it takes a particular kind of cruelty to have a go at them just for the sake of it. Shame on you who do so.

I really appreciate the support and understanding from you and the other posters. Thank you.

Nevertheless, I appreciate the support. It was a hard time. The cheating was bad enough, but the lies, the twisting, made me feel that I was mad as well as unloveable.

Sorry for hijacking op. I get the pain. "

I did get over it.

Took me 2 years to get over the hurt that was caused over the years. He stripped away at my confidence and self worth.

I am at a happy place in my life now. Happiest I have ever been. Single and loving life even when it throws problems. I learnt you have to be happy with yourself first before being happy with anyone else.

Yup, and I think a lot of men are cowardly and run away rather than dealing with the emotional issues that arise in relationships. Because women do not compartmentalise they are more often courageous enough to face whatever needs to be faced to put the WHOLE relationship back on track.

That wasn't the case with us. He had sex with a young colleague whilst away with work,he continued to for a few months. It then ended apparently,how true that it is I don't know. He had to confess a month after it had ended as the womans boyfriend found message's from my ex on her phone and said to him either you tell your wife or I will. That was exactly a week before xmas,shortly after New year I asked him to leave. I alway's thought we would eventually get back together,but then I met someone else and that was that.

After that she left her job and he house shared with someone until he rented somewhere. It was just sex not love.

You know that's a good point. I told my ex to go get himself tested,at least he had the decency or guilt to not have sex with me whilst he was screwing her. Stupid me thought it was just stress with his job. That would be an added smack in the chops for me knowing someone was fucking dozens of people bareback and putting me at risk,now that is bad!

He cheated for five years out of our six year relationship. I found out for sure after 18 months. He didn't leave, convinced me I didn't want to leave and he would stop. He didn't. I was the one eventually to pack my stuff up after a policeman found me after being called by someone who saw me on a bridge.

He still tries to get in touch eight years later.

If he was a narcissist they can totally fuck with your head, you're like a frog being boiled alive who suddenly wakes up. I was longing for a way out by the time my ex left, and neither of us cheated, but it still took me years to get my head right, there are many types of betrayal.

Have you actually read any of this?! Well for one he doesn't know all my dirty linen only the people I've met on here know that and if he did I'd be having a little chat to his present wife as to why he's on here,unless of course she is as well and I wouldn't care actually. I was a faithful wife I managed to keep my knick knacks up,but this thread isn't about that,it's about the after effects year's down the line regarding the children.

I also disagree about people not being able to help me as they have,they've listened to my nonsense and showed support in pm's and that's a great help and clearly this is one sided post he will have his own version.

There are two comments on here that I definitely don't agree with.

The one earlier when someone opened up about a suicide attempt and got a rather blunt non understanding response. That is a life we are talking about and to feel that low to do that means someone isn't very well at all as well as other emotions. Some people can't process certain emotions so it's fight or flight mode.

And the second is the last one, if it makes someone feel better ranting or asking for advice let them do it, whether you know these people or not whether they only have one side. Especially as there's been people who have agreed and some disagreed with the op, but it's about the way people word things that hurt not so much the content. And the op hasn't given names, addresses or phone numbers so she can mention who she likes indirectly.

And saying speaking to strangers won't help, does that mean volunteers for helplines like the Samaritans or childline don't help people. It's about getting an unbiased opinion from people from different walks of life who have a different view that helps.

I'm glad two people realised I wasn't posting a negative response.

I wasn't suggesting you were unwell before or after or ten years ago. I was merely pointing out that in that moment where you tried to end your life, your head was full of hurt and upset and that's how you dealt with it.

I'm actually slightly peed off tbh, as I haven't got enough fingers to count how many times I've tried to take my life. And that is because I am not well. So I know that at that moment your head is so numb you just do it or the complete opposite and it won't stop spinning with 'what ifs' 'whys' etc.

I didn't agree with the lady who belittled it, so surely showing that I was supporting any feelings you felt, but without knowing you personally I couldn't comment on specifics.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that it was YOUR fault - not for a millisecond.

I was actually supporting you. I think that the person who suggested for you to make an attempt on your life was "melodramatic" has no understanding whatsoever of how you felt and was judgementajudgemental.

I was trying to make a point that the person had no idea of what the person (not necessarily you) is going through and it is wrong to draw conclusions and judge.

I would also like to say that i was also not attempting to negate your feelings or say that the cheating was not devastating enough merely that you may have other issues that the person may not be aware of.

I will not be told I'm victim blaming as that's not what was said. And I didn't say him cheating wasn't reason enough to consider suicide.

"Suicide is the act of intentionally causing ones death"

And your quote says about it making you hate yourself and your life, which I'm assuming you didn't before you found out he cheated. Therefore for that instance whether it was a minute or a week your brain was reacting to a trauma which made your feelings already hurt even more so to the extent of wanting to end your life. So in such having lack of control of rational emotion.

And I could suggest that your reaction to when you thought it was suggested you weren't well as otherwise you wouldn't have had the thought of suicide, belittles the fact that as I have mental health issues it's warranted for me to consider suicide (as I am ill and damaged from previous issues). So therefore it's my fault.

My family and therapist can tell when I'm feeling low as what I say and how I feel about small things is irrational, that always offended me cause it's my head how can my own brain be lying to me about things, it does. When I tried to end my life, even if it was over a past relationship that I was abused in or when I was r&"/d or from being bullied at junior school, it was still my brain telling me the wrong way of dealing with it and I choose to listen as you think it's the right action from the initial situation.

All this can be explained easier by a basic psychology book or chemicals of the brain, it's not just myth there is science behind it,but I will not be told that I am victim blaming.

Context is a great thing, depending on the mind of the person.

I too am over it, though O have never hated anyone before but I do now and will always hate her.

I now have a very different life and know I have a great partner; we are in such a good place we can happily partake in this lifestyle. X

When I hear men say that their wife isn't interested in sex anymore,but he still has needs I can't help but think the wife hasn't gone off sex she's just gone off sex with you.

Bit of a sexist generalisation.

I dealt with years of lying before my ex's infidelity was confirmed, unfortunately it was after we had had a child together. I still spent another 6 unhappy years with her trying to make things work for the sake of my son. We were never able to have an honest conversation about her cheating apparently it just happened the first time but she just carried on (and without using protection) and she'd not admit to others as I didn't have proof. I even tried to get her to agree to go to some session with relate but she just refused. It was 7 years after she first cheated before I cheated back and at that point we hadn't had sex where she put any effort in for 2 years and had been sleeping in seperate bedrooms for 8 months. When I felt no guilt I knew it was time to leave.

To the op, stay strong, remember how much better off you are without someone that treats you like that. Everything with your children will get better with time
