@KerryKklaroc@Auriel_zy I saw through this post right away, but I thought I'd play along, hoping to bring some sanity, especially to young women living in a world of fantasy and feelings.
I hope she will not have too much influence over their kids with her level of moral confusion. These kids are blessed to have a good father who can positively impact them with good sense, good character and practical life skills. I have always believed fathers (in general) are the better parent after age seven.
@Auriel_zy Yes, dear, it would have been fair to keep this painful truth from your very decent husband. You haven't learned anything, have you. Still just thinking about yourself and how you feel.
You need to find a biblically oriented minister, and maybe later a therapist.
@JonesJohnsfkwk@Auriel_zy The husband has the well being of his kids to think about. Let the kids continue to think they are a loving and happy family. They shouldn't have to suffer the trauma of divorce. He can leave when they are much older and can better handle parental separation.
@Infamous039@Auriel_zy And you will never look at yourself the same. Shame is real, and you should be ashamed of yourself. If your husband and father of your children together justifiably divorces you, don't even think about marrying again, as you don't seem worthy of something as sacred as marriage.
I wish I had understood these things while growing up; they are abundantly clear to me today. While my mother never encouraged my sister and me to take certain precautions if we became sexually active, she assumed we would not be sexually active; she never discouraged it with firmness either.
Men provide for and protect their families and impart their wisdom, logic and guidance to their kids. And yes, he is expected to be faithful. Men cannot help notice attractive women, but that doesn't mean they will all cheat. Most know right from wrong and would never want to hurt their family.
@healOMF@StrongMarriage5 I didn't know this side of him when we first married. His temper has mellowed out to a degree as we’ve gotten older, but his anger seems to be ready to lash out if he's offended by someone.
