This 37-year-old woman has been married to her 40-year-old husband for a decade, and they have 2 children together; a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son.

In the 10 years that she has been married to her husband, they have never once had a problem.

Right after she gave birth to their son, however, she did experience a terrible depression, and that was largely due to her life not quite being on the right path.

Back then, she had an awful job that paid her no money, and she was left to care for their son alone as her husband was working overtime to support them.

She also drank a ton and didn’t eat well at all. Then, when they welcomed their daughter, she resolved to change her life for the better.

She stopped drinking, and she cut the bad foods out of her diet. She began going to the gym and doing yoga, and things changed for the better.

Her mood was lighter, she could sleep sounder, and she stopped getting easily upset. She also makes great money now at her job and has lost a tremendous amount of weight.

People actually compliment her on her appearance, and she assumed her husband would be thrilled about all of the positive changes she has made, but he isn’t.

“He dislikes that I get compliments from people or when people compliment me in front of him,” she explained.

“I didn’t see it as a big issue…then I discovered he was cheating on me with a coffee shop waitress. I don’t think her job title matters, but that girl doesn’t seem nice to me. I have looked through some of the chats between her and my husband, and she called me an old hag trying to fit in with the young.”

“She lives with her parents and is a high school dropout. She is only 22-years-old. I am devastated. I thought my husband would be happy. Our [physical relationship] has been better than ever. This affair has been going on for 7 months.”

She feels blindsided that her husband has been cheating on her for so long and keeping it a secret.

She has done her best to be a great wife. She cooks his meals, she makes him lunch to bring to the office, and she thought things between them were wonderful.

“Now here I am getting a divorce from him,” she continued. “When I confronted him about the affair, he told me being with me is always overbearing.”

“He feels invisible because most people give me attention. And somehow, it is my fault. I was obsessed with myself rather than noticing how this is making him feel. He feels small because he has been stuck in the same place 5 years ago. I don’t get it. I never pushed him to follow my lead. I always told him that I loved him no matter what. Why is this happening?”

“I don’t want my kids to grow up in a broken family. But I cannot live with him after what he has said and done. I know he is being insecure. But he didn’t have to hurt me like this. I know as a single mom, it is tough to survive. People have warned me that my husband could act differently towards me. They were right. I wish it didn’t end like this.”

What advice do you have for her?
