So my wife is dating this guy...

8,512 793 July 5, 2007 at 07:19 AM in Finance (13)
..I think it's time to dump her. Should we get divorced?

She went out last Saturday night with some guy, stayed out until 1 am. Then on Tuesday, she's out again until 1 am, says they went to eat and then a movie!!?! Last night, 1:30. It's getting later, I guess it's time to dump her! Sadwalk

What would you do?

Stealth..everyone is got their own limits and lines..

I never chose anyone/anything over my bf. Period.

Know the truth..(emphasis on truth) before you get a divorce.

Stealth, hug I'm sorry you're going through all this mess. Now, I don't go on dates with guys...but I do go out with my male friends. Maybe he's just a friend?

I'm not trying to be naive here - just pointing out that maybe everything you think is going on really isn't going on. But it's hard to say; obviously you know her better than any of us.
I think stealth has confronted her already about this friendship issue, and didnt she already decide by leaving him! isnt that almost abandonment, except she really cannot leave because of her three children.
I say time to move on. take what you can and let the lawyers deal with the finances.
find out who her male friend is first. might want to confront him as well. find out what his intentions are.

Quote from Stoneyce :
When it comes to affairs of the heart, cheating will do in the best of people. No matter what some people here might say, no person who loves you would chose to be out with someone else. It is now time to look out for # 1. Some things you can do and they helped me out significantly.
1) Get an attorney
2) Cancel joint accounts
3) Do NOT move out. Not until you talk with the attorney
4) Withdraw half the money from joint accounts. Save some money
5) Safeguard personal property.

There is no need for further discussion. Once someone cheats then loving them again destroys a part of you and you end up hating them. Cheating is not just physical and you will never trust again. Every time she decides to go anywhere you will always have it in your mind and it is no way to live. Walk away, it is better to walk alone than to live in Hell.
Thanks!

That's how I feel right now.

I know! But I don't want the bills to get kicked back!

My paycheck is already direct deposited to my personal account, and then I x-fer it to the joint account and pay bills. I'll probably start paying from the personal account from now on.

We both work (usually.. she's been unemployed for 2 weeks, but starts again in a week). I make more than her. I'm worried because her Mom is so selfish, always giving advice to try and get more money. When her Mom goes out to eat, she almost always complains about the food to try and get a free meal.
Thats a SD! LMAO

Quote from Peachyum :
Well, just because she's married doesn't mean she needed to give up having friends anymore than you did. I understand that coming home at 1AM is harsh, but, that doesn't mean she unequivocally has become the guys mattress. You need to be positive on what her intentions are with this guy before you disband and usurp the lives of 7 (counts household population from memory) people. Wink
Quote from ~Precious~ :
you might be wrong here. It is not like...you become married..and your whole world shrinks down to one person..husband, friend, everything.

With my bf, I pretty much made him everything..for me.friend..bf, co- diet-buster ..everything..but i ended up losing most of my friends because i was always always hanging out with him. not that i regret it..but i'd like to have my friends too ..ya know

my best friend is a guy..whom i hang out with often. i go out to a bar or club with him..on fridays..or weekends..and ther have been times i came home at 5:00 in the morning..now..i don expect my bf to dump me!!

be sure before you take a decision
Iagree with both of you... I got married, which changed how I interacted with my male friends. That didn't mean cutting them off entirely.

Iagree If you're not happy and she's pulling that crap it's not worth the extra stress ! And I'm sure the kids are stressed out too with what's going on, not good for them either ! Ironic the song You Keep Me Hangin On just came on ! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Well, if she typically had numerous male friends when I met her, it would be understandable. And I'm not saying she should never have male friends.

But 3 times in one week, staying out until 1am? I'm sorry, but that's extreme in our situation.

laugh out loud Interesting twist, but no. It's a guy. I've met him.


I think we're all trying to relate this situation to our own situations. I value everyone's input, and hope nobody feels bad if there are comments on the opposite side of what you feel/believe. Grouphug

I would be pretty jealous if my guy did that..but I trust him more than that. Smilie

If you are referring to me as in being ok, my guy is ok with me..but again..we have been friends for over 7 years now.( i mean my friend and me..and that was before i met my bf)
My husband and I trust each other, and much like your situation, I've known some of these guys at least as long as I've known my husband, and some longer. I can't imagine being so insecure to not "allow" my husband to go out with his friends, either male or female.

No wasn't pointing at anyone specifically hug

I think I have a prob with the 1am thing. Not that 2 people couldn't do whatever they wanted to do any time of the day or night. It more of a respect issue for me I think. To be out until 1am with a "friend" of the opposite sex, in a one on one situation...is very disrespectful to one's so imo.

Respect is high on my list of must haves for a healthy relationship.

hug that does sound extreme, given your situation.

You've already given her the ultimatum, and it sounds like she made her decision. At this point, I think if you feel like there is ANYTHING worth salvaging, that you get to the bottom of this, and seek out some counseling.

Good luck babe...this whole situation sucks.

Thanks! I think that's my issue with it, too. High Five

I felt like it was a slap in the face Slap
