    you deserve better.

    if she ever cheat on you once, he will cheat on you again and again.

    just let it go, because if you keep holding up you will be more get hurts.

    Dear skateordie:

    I am not clear on whether she tried to talk with you about her discontent in the marriage at any time, in the past? If so, how often, what did she say, how did you respond? It will help me to be able to give you the advice you ask for if you are as detailed as you can about what she communicated to you before, during and after the affair?

    Anita- she never said that anything was wrong, never said that she was unhappy until she already had her relationship established with the other guy. All these years I thought everything was fine. Maybe it was about a year ago when she finally said that my drinking was an issue and that she was unhappy. But that’s all she ever said. No real heart to heart. But by the time she said that she had already been with this guy for over a year.

    Hi skateordie,

    She was mildly unhappy and gave in to fantasies. The problem is fantasies don’t always jibe with reality. It sounds like reality  hit her square in the face when she realized that divorce = no house.

    I’m confused about all her sudden stalking and drive byes. She acted like the jealous spouse, kind of like how you could have reacted to her sordid affair (but didn’t if I’m correct). Weird.

    To answer you question, sometimes people don’t apologize because to apologize means that they have to first admit to themselves that what they did was wrong. What she did was so wrong that she couldn’t face her own self.

    Best,

    Inky

    Dear skateordie:

    It is a shame that your marriage didn’t work out. I hope that you and your ex wife attend to the children’s emotional welfare. Their well-being depends on such attention and care.

    In your last email, you wrote: “No real heart to heart” between you and your wife, not much going on for years, as I understand it, between you and her in terms of a close, intimate connection. It was still wrong of her to cheat on you, and she is responsible as well to that no-real-heart-to-heart communication between the two of you, preceding and following her cheating.

    The “Serenity Prayer” states: “grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change (that would be what you did, what she did, what she chooses will choose to do), the courage to change the things I can (that would be what you choose to do now and in the future, your part in every interaction with others), and the wisdom to know the difference.”

    Part of what you can change, what is in your control, is to have that “real heart to heart” relationships with your children, get to know their hearts, attend to them. With a future woman, get to know her heart before committing to a relationship with her, and if you do commit, keep in touch with that heart, daily.

    Is my input helpful in your efforts to seek closure?

    It does. Especially the part about being with a new person. And luckily I’ve found a great woman and I know how to do it right this time around. At least I think I do.

    Dear skateoride:

    You posted part-message, I believe. If some of your post got lost somehow, feel free to re-type and submit it.
