His Wife Cheated On Him, But He Still Wants To Save Their Marriage, So He’s Considering Making Her Choose Between Cutting Contact With The Other Guy Or Leaving Their Home
If you ever found out your spouse was cheating on you, would you walk right out the door and never look back? Or would you want to work things out together in hopes of saving your marriage?
This man recently found out his wife cheated on him, and right now, he’s in the latter boat.
For some context, his wife had gone on a trip out of state, and while she was away, she supposedly met a guy. Then, once she returned home, he noticed that she was acting really distant from him.
“And after a couple of days, she confessed about it and that they had kissed,” he recalled.
At the time, his wife also swore that she was finished talking to that other guy. Yet, just yesterday, her tune completely changed, and he was shocked.
She actually confronted him and asked if they could have an open marriage. This has left him struggling to figure out how to help their marriage survive.
He knows for sure that the guy his wife cheated on him with lives out of state.
“So I’m sure she would just be messaging him, but I really want to make us work for our four kids,” he explained.
That’s why he wound up saying no to opening up their relationship. He wanted him and his wife to get marriage help, and he believed a third person being involved would only make things more difficult.

His wife agreed with him, too, and she claimed that she hadn’t spoken to the other guy in a week.
“Well, last night, I saw that she was still getting messages from an out-of-state number, and it was him,” he revealed.
He and his wife were planning to attend marriage counseling together next week. In the wake of what he found, though, he’s not sure if he should give his wife an ultimatum.
More specifically, he wants to tell his wife that she needs to stop messaging the other guy or else she should pack her clothes and stay at a friend’s or relative’s house.
However, before he pulls the trigger, he can’t help but wonder if forcing his wife to make that decision is the best thing for their relationship.
“I really want to make this marriage work, which is my overall goal,” he vented.
Does it sound like his wife did more than just kiss another guy if she suddenly wants to open their marriage? Is there any way he can salvage their relationship? What advice would you give him?
