My beautiful daughter who has two year old twins has just found out that her husband of 6 years has been cheating on her with another woman. She has kicked him out of their home and is heartbroken.
The girls are missing their Daddy and I can’t believe that he has done this to her and his beautiful little girls.
chrissa1. Your daughter has kicked him out of the home. She has split the family because she is upset that he has had a relationship with another woman.
The home split has come about because your daughter does not forgive her husband for what he did.
I don't know all the circumstances, so I can't have a sensible opinion. Do you think that she was right not to forgive him, and to split the family like this? How long was he cheating? Was it a one-night stand, or a six-year affair?
Sadly, Chrissa, I've been there, done that and bought the t-shirt although luckily I never lived with Little Tigs's dad so it was easier for me to deal with. He broke my heart too but with time I got over it. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but she will too.
She found out that he had been running with this woman for three hour runs in September and called him out on it. He promised that there was nothing going on and she accepted that. Then, she got a phone call from this woman’s husband where he told her what had been going on.
She believed him in September but can no longer trust him. It’s still going on.
If my wife had a one-night stand, I might decide that I didn't want to break up a family and shatter my kids' lives because I was really upset about it.
If it was more than a one-night stand I might decide that it was better to make a clean break and do my best with the children myself (or let her have the children). I think my main worry would be the kids' welfare, not my own pain.
But, it's not my family and not my life. chrissa's daughter will do what she has to do. chrissa's mum will have her own opinion, but that's her own affair, not ours or her daughter's.
Lots of emotion and knee-jerk here.
