Why did you stay?

Lately, I've been wondering what the exact reason is that I decided to stay with my cheating husband. Of course, I know I love him but is that enough? Is it a combination of love, attachment, and family? I don't know....or I am just confused. Maybe it is that but it doesn't make much sense after everything he did to me and the kids. I mean any other person would think I am crazy...I would think I am crazy if I weren't actually doing it....if that makes sense.

So I want to know why you decided to stay and work on it?

  1. I think a lot of women stay because they don't want some slut with no morals to wreck everything they have built. Or some stay because they want to eventually turn the mess into something positive. Make the marriage better than it was before.

  2. I am staying (for now, we are more in a "lets see how this goes" sort of thing, moving back into together in a few weeks) for a few reasons. 1) I need to know if the person I fell in love with 10 years ago still exists, or ever existed. If that person was just a farce, then there's nothing to stay for, but if he is or was there, I fell in love with him for a reason so I figure I might at least try to see if I can live with him. 2) I believe God CAN change him. That God can fix him. Whether or not that is what God is doing, I dont know for sure yet. But I do believe God CAN DO IT. So, if God IS doing it, then I guess I feel like I should be open to that.

  3. the other party would change in the name of God/false hope. It is true that God's hands are never too short to change any persons. However how often it is truer that the betrayed spouse must also change as well. When a marriage is in trouble, very seldom it is only one-sided issue. People love to live in false hope and pretenses and facade without realizing life is slipping through....

  4. Most betrayed spouse stay due to the fear factors. Fear of change, fear of unknown and fear of being alone. Also the financial insecurity of it. I seriously doubt people stay b/c of LOVE alone. They simply wish the other party would change in the name of God/false hope. It is true that God's hands are never too short to change any persons. However how often it is truer that the betrayed spouse must also change as well. When a marriage is in trouble, very seldom it is only one-sided issue. People love to live in false hope and pretenses and facade without realizing life is slipping through....

  5. @Alice I agree with you.... Therapists thrive on telling couples that affairs can make marriages so much better and I can see how that might happen. I also agree that some people won't allow the slut of the situation to get the satisfaction...I can't say I feel that way, because she really doesn't matter to me ... Thanks for responding!

    Giving the cheater a chance to redeem himself is definitely a reason to go back. I know that is one of my reasons. I mean we wouldn't keep staying if we came back into the same situation, right? I sure hope so... I often second guess myself because I can't believe I came back in the first place.

    I believe God can help people, as long as people allow him to help.

    I also think that yes, it's often not only one person at fault. That both people have to work together to correct the flaws of the marriage. However, we need to make sure to remember, there is NEVER a reason to cheat on anyone. We can say that the betrayed spouse contributed marital problems, but we can't say that those problems were valid reasons for someone to cheat. Cheating is wrong no matter what happens in a marriage...just like domestic violence. If the cheater had issues with the marriage, it was his/her responsibility to bring those up and work on them. If he/she did not want to work on them or the other spouse didn't want to work on them, then the couple should divorce before someone goes off with someone else.

    And the fear factor - yep, I have to say so...I think that's what I mean by attachment. After you've been with someone so long, it's hard to see life without him.... it's frightening.

    Thanks for all the comments!!!

  7. In one of our painful discussion about my husband adultery, in tears he asked me. "If you can not see that I changed, and love you. If you can not trust me. Why do you want me to stay?" My reply was long, but the essence of what I think and said it is: Because when I met you, fell in love with you and married you, I had a plan for our lives together. I was going to love you and make you happy. So we would be happy. When I decided to have children with you, I saw us in the future, being happy, looking after them, and we know we were. I had a plan that when the children left home, we would have more money to spend on ourselves, and fulfill some of our dreams and passions that we had put in hold, for the time we were looking after our other dream, our great, wonderful family! I know they were your plan to, because we were so happy and shared everything. You forgot your dream, and through your actions you killed mine. I never thought that adultery would be part of our life. I want you here because before I am sure that our dreams are completely dead or unobtainable, I want to try to recover it. I dont want to look back when I am very old and regret that I did not give it us chance. If we can achieve what we are striving for, in old age we will kiss each other and thank ourselves for persevering. If not, we will thank ourselves for having tried. One coward is enough in this relationship. I want you to stay because I need to know if the wonderful person I fell in love with is still there, inside that skin, that for a while was so selfish. I want you to stay because I need to know that you are telling me the truth, that you realize how much you hurt me, our children and US.

  8. I stayed because God got a hold of ME and told me he wasn't done with us yet. I didn't want to hear it and went on a rampage until my husband moved out and then I had no choice but to listen. God softened my heart and gave me sign after sign and scripture after scripture He was bringing my husband home to Him and then home to me. I stay because I am in a covenant with my husband, because God said he will restore what the locusts tried to eat and give me back double what I lost, because I love my husband and our family and because I knew that wasn't my husband. Never was. He was trapped in sin. We have a work to do but God says in the Bible he will work to bring all things together for our good. This adultery was never apart of His plan but He can bring good out of it. I'm faithful to that and obedient as well.

    Hello viewers i'm HERVEY BAY GRANDPARENTS For the fifth time I tried to calm myself down and convince him ( Marcos Alvin)our relationship was worth it, I cried, hoped, and ultimately felt miserable. Seeing him after our breakup did not help either. I was lost, hurt, and confused.According to “It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken,” a book by Greg Brehrendt and Amiira Ruotola-Brehrendt, people who have been dumped should cherish the time they have alone. Because it might be the last time you are single and have time to enjoy doing things you like alone, before you meet the person who could make you happy but my situation was far different because i couldn't go more day, weeks, months without Alvin beside me, My co-workers knew i was passing through great trauma and hard times i couldn't explain my ordeal with anyone because i don't want the third party advisers in my relationship with Alvin because his family have been so negative about us, I could no longer bear it than to speak to my college friend and now a co worker Justice Flora who once hard a broken marriage but didn't tell anyone how it ended and maintain a happier home with his husband after months of separation so i seek for her advise and she said to me you don't have to kill yourself over Alvin all you need to do is to contact the great love spell caster in Africa called DR OGUDU he's going to make Alvin and his entire family and cherish you beyond words can explain, I did as Flora have advised after Providing him with the needed materials to appeals the spirit of true love and subdue hatred from the Alvin family, All happened within 48 hours as he promised and Alvin was at my office with a Rose love flower kneeling before me and my colleagues confession to me how much he loves and care about me Flora was so happy and asked me to accept Alvin back and return the loves and care that were going to make great couple and family, Now Alvin family sees me as the best thing that has happened to them i'm so grateful to DR OGUDU contact him now and be happy again in your relationship, below is his details

  14. Many people have written articles about how they were helped but I am very grateful to this great man who brought my ex-husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Jennifer Sanchez. When I came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him helping with a cure for Herpes Virus and I have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent of two boys for almost 6 years and though my ex-husband was not staying with me and the kids I still wish someday he will return to me. This doctor I encountered is known as Dr. Odunga helped me with my wishes and I am happy to write on this website that my ex-husband is back with me. I am very happy to share the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don't know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but I always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex or facing an infertility problem, contact this great man at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp/Call +2348167159012 and share an awesome testimony too just as I did
