His Wife Cheated, Yet Instantly Came Clean, So He’s Torn About Whether To Leave Or Stay
Around ten days or so ago, this 29-year-old man’s 27-year-old wife cheated on him while she was out with her friends one evening.
His wife had a lot to drink, met some random guy she really liked, and hooked up with him without being safe about it.
He fell asleep early that night, and when he woke up the following morning, his wife was sleeping in their living room so he assumed she was being polite and had tried not to wake him from his sleep.
He grabbed his things and headed off to work. At lunchtime, he returned home to eat with his wife, but she was off.
Well, his wife eventually informed him that she slept with that guy from the prior night, and she didn’t hold back on the information.
She didn’t cry when she revealed everything to him, and he thinks it was because she most likely spent the whole day sobbing.
“I was shocked, of course. My sweetheart, my friend, my other half had betrayed me and stabbed me in the back,” he explained.
“I had no words, nothing. I just looked at her, and she looked at me. Nothing. Only silence. We didn’t speak that day, we just did chores like robots. Over the next few days, we had a few conversations.”
“I asked her if that was all, and she said yes. I asked her how I could believe anything she said, and she replied that I couldn’t. I asked her how I could trust her with anything, and she said that I couldn’t. She said that there was no going back, that there was nothing we could do to go back, and she just asked me if there was something I would like to try anything.”

He told his wife that if they do attempt to reconcile, it could be a colossal waste of their money, emotions, and time, and in the end, might not even work.
His wife got where he was coming from, and she also realized that he perhaps might never find it in his heart to forgive her.
He then moved to questioning her about why she cheated on him at all and she said it was just riveting, uncharted territory.
He wanted to know what would prevent his wife from doing this to him somewhere else down the line, and she responded that she couldn’t picture herself doing such an awful thing again.
He underscored that he’s lost all his trust in his wife, and while he loves her, he no longer respects her. She did say sorry, but he reiterated it meant nothing.
“She said she would accept whatever decision I make, but she promised on everything she has that she would atone for her mistake, that she would never do anything like that again, and that she would be grateful to me for the rest of her life,” he added.
“She also said that if I chose to divorce her, she wouldn’t make it difficult and that she would carry that burden forever. I took a few days off and left for my grandparents’ house on the farm to think about things. I’m unsure. I love her, she is the only woman that exists for me.”
“But at the same time, I understand that I would lose my pride and self-respect if I take her back. She was honest, she took responsibility, made no excuses, and is ready to accept whatever decision I make. She is a cheater, but at least she has some decency.”
Do you think he should walk away from his wife or give her another chance?
