husband left me

I've been married for 8yrs, my husband and I planned to have this baby and even had to go to infertility doctors to help us get pregnant. Now I'm 5 &1/2 months pregnant and I just caught him cheating. He says he no longer loves me and wants a divorce. To top it off he just bought me a new 1 & 1/2 ct diamond wedding ring and we have been house hunting for our first home. If I never would of questioned a phone call on feb 22 I would of already moved into our new home and still living this wonderful life I thought I had. Everyday I'm still in shock of how my life has flipped upside down. I can't wrap my brain around how the man I love could walk away after 8yrs and our baby is on the way. I'm completly lost now.

  • Did u post b4 about thinking he was cheating ? At this point it may be hard but try to worry about u n baby. He will try to come back after he's done playin n then the ball will b n ur court
  • Im so sorry that is happing to you, but look on these point u are so blessed now, and that tell you.one thing God show you the true and he give you that precious angel in return! So he wasnt the right one! Now is time to meet the real happinest with that wonderful gift!
  • Thank you all for your support and wisdom. I know in someone way this is a blessing I just can't see right now. I know someday I will be happy again. I hope when the time is right I'm able to meet a good honest man who will love me and my son like we both deserve. Everyday right now is a challenge but everyday I get a little bit stronger. Please pray for me and my son, as of now we have a hard road ahead of us.
    P.S. married_with3 this was my first post.
    I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthen ME.
  • It just doesn't make since if he has been unhappy for a long time why buy u a new ring and why go through all of it to finally get pregnant and why go house hunting I think he just wants to go have his fun he must be going thru some midlife crisis (my husband went thru his at 20 years old)he wants to go have his fun and have u waiting for him when he finally realizes the grass isn't greener on the other side
  • I am so sorry. I will pray for you. At least you have your beautiful baby to look forward to. I know how bad it hurts, but it gets better.
  • I'm sorry! Someone is goin thru the exact same situation as u & he said he was leaving that's y I asked cuz I thought u were her n he left.

    I think everyone has been thru a serious break up n we r still here live n kicking. U will do the same. Time heals all & just keep praying
  • I don't think he has been unhappy for a long time. He has told me so many lies he doesn't even remember what he said last. When I first asked him why plan to have this baby with me if you are unhappy? He said I didn't feel this way then. One time he said he has only felt like this for the last few months. One time he said he has been un happy for a year & 1/2. One time he said its not my fault, its nothing I've done or haven't done. That this is all his fault. The next time he blames me and says I'm who caused it. I don't get it either, that's why I'm struggling so much. I had no clue, I thought we were happy, I thought all our hard work had finally paid off and now all our dreams were coming true. I still thinks he loves me, I think he has just done something so bad he can't forgive himself nor come clean on the matter. It took me two weeks to get him to admit it was a woman he had been talking to and that's only after I had the number traced and got her name and found out she is from his home town. Even after I confronted him with this info he still dinied it. Then after a few more days he finally admitted yes it is her but now says she is just a friend. No you don't talk to a secret woman 4000min last month all hours of the day and night if she is just a friend. No you don't leave your wife of 8yrs with your son on the way for just a friend. No you don't leave your wife who is pregnant and from the first day you leave you hound her to release your phone number so I can't see who he is talking to anymore if she is just a friend. I don't know how involved he is with her but it seems serious enough. Although I dont think that he would of ever left us if he wouldn't of gotten caught.
  • I'm so sorry to hear this happened to u and I have been there. There is nothing anyone can say or do to make u feel better. Just in time u will learn to deal and will be a million times stronger. U will be a better mom because of it because trial and tribulation breeds strength. He will realize what a mistake he's made and whether it is too late for reconciliation or not, it will be some redemption for u. My ex husband married his mistress and is absolutely miserable. He has nerve enough to cry to me about the biggest mistake of his life. God has blessed me for my integrity with a now loving and trustworthy husband who is more of a father to my two boys than there own dad could ever be. Now we have our first baby together on the way and I couldn't be happier. At first it hurts so bad you'd rather someone cut u with a knife, but there IS light at the end of the tunnel. HUGGZZ!!
  • Reading all of these helps, it honestly gives me hope and strength. Cinnabon thank you for sharing your story with me. I can't wait for the day that he tells me that this was the biggest mistake of his life. I hope that when that day comes I can look at him and say well its not the biggest mistake of my life. It was a blessing that not only made me stronger but gave me a better life. Thank you for being you.
  • Some of his family members support me through all of this and as of now want nothing to do with him because of the choices he has made and how he has gone about ripping our family apart. They are helping to keep me strong and I love that I can count on them as well as all my own family and friends. They have told me to go one week without talking to him. No phone, txts, or emails for one week. If he wants a life without me then show him what it will be like. They say in one weeks time I bet he wants to talk to you and see what you've been up to. Feb 16th was the last time I have talked to him yet every two days he has sent me one txt. The 1st asked for his student loan information so he can pay his bill, then at the end of it he briefly asked how I was, if the baby has been active, and how the dogs are. I didn't respond. 2nd txt two days later asked how I was feeling. I didn't respond. 3rd txt two days later reach is today asked if I was at lunch. I didn't respond. 4th txt also today he asked if I would call him. I haven't responded nor plan to. I can't because I can't handle if the only reason he feels he needs to talk to me is to help with something since I'm the one who always took care of everything. If I call him and he doesn't miss me, doesn't want to say he is sorry, doesn't want to admit how wrong he is I just know it will set me back. Yesterday was such a bad day for me, I cried all day. Today I'm having a good day. I feel stronger and I know if I talk to him it will set me back.
  • Sorry typo I haven't had contact with him since march 16th. I put feb 16th.
  • Good dear. Stay strong and be blessed.
  • My biggest mistake in the beginning was listening to him and responding. Every single time I'd be doin great and feeling empowered, he'd call/text with some nonsense and I'd find myself arguing with him (and threatening his life!) then crying my eyes out. Not worth it. You are right for not responding to him. What could he possibly want that is so important? YOU have the baby and know he is fine and that is your greatest concern. You aren't missing out on a thing by ignoring him. If u ever wanna vent or need to talk u can email me @ sweetdiva1226@yahoo.com. that man put me (and my boys) through so much I could write a best seller! I definitely understand everything ur goin through and I am available if u need someone.
  • I think that was me n he decided to stay..but I told him its gonna take a lot for me to trust him..he deleted Facebook, fone numbers, sex sites....ugh. we will c how this goes....but good luck girl. I know ull b just fine. My mom was married to my adoptive father for 11yrs n he left us, a $300,000.00 home and all of our things, jewelry he baught n cars for his dead bff's mom....that really hurt but u know wat, my mom is Sooo much happier now..she found her bf n they have been together for 2.5yrs now n he's just awesome..n more of a father figure than I've ever had..good luck to you and your son <3
  • Devastating ... be strong! You are absolutely doing the right thing by ignoring. He will realize just how good he had it. Stay positive for you and your little one... you deserve much better than that kind of marriage. It may not help now but I always remember the saying THIS TOO SHALL PASS. stay strong sister.
  • I've started going to church, counseling, and joined a gym. I'm doing all these things to keep my mind busy, help me understand what I'm deaing with, and to better myself. No way am I going to let myself go through this heartache and not become a better, stronger, and more confident person. I will come out on top, I will have a better life than what I could of ever had with him. Not to mention I do get satisfaction in thinking he will also see the new improved me and its only going to rub it in that much more of what a mistake he has made. I do get pleasure from those thoughts. Lol
    Back on the topic of not having contact with him. Last night was the first night in a month to the day this has all started, last night I actually got to sleep til 330am reach in itself is a blessing. I woke up from the best dream, God showed me my son. He was healthy, beautiful, and looked just like his father. I felt so blessed to know that my baby was healthy and ok. I also felt this was a sign, that I was ok to call him. At first I thought oh no what if a girl answers, then I thought well then I guess that's my answer and so I shouldn't be afraid of that. So I called him at 330am he answered and asked if everything was ok I said yes. I told him god has blessed me with this dream and he has shown me that our child is healthy and beautiful. I told him about the dream and he said that is a good dream. He then said I hope you have a good day at work tomorrow. I said oh I will. He said good I wil call you later to get somethings from you. I said no I don't think so. He said well I need my student loan information. I said I'm sorry but I can't help you with that. He got mad and yelled at me your not going to give me my loan information. I told him I can't help you I have my own things to work on and this is now your problem you have the name of the company you can locate what you need to take care of this. He hung up on me. I was and am fine with this phone call. It did not anger me, hurt me, make me sad, or anything negative. I felt good, relaxed, and somewhat happy. I thought ha I called to give him good news and he is who is mad he probably can't get back to sleep now and is the one laying there pissed off because I'm not there to take care of all his needs anymore. He has to grow up and be a man now. I went back to sleep.
    At 730am today he called me I did not answer. He txt me at 11am today to say he did find out his loan information and made his payment on time. Also he paid his car insurance and started his own policy reach I have been waiting for him to do that for two weeks now. Plus he just called again but I did not answer nor plan to anytime soon.
    At the begining of April when I have received the last of the bills he will owe me for I plan to send him an email requesting payment. So far he still agrees to pay his half to me but I doubt he will hold true to that. Although I do stil have his motorcycle as leverge. So maybe I will get that money after all. Time will tell. Time will heal.
    Cinnabon thanks for the email I will be in touch.
  • GOOD FOR YOU!! You are amazingly strong.. god bless you and your little boy.. I wish you the best of luck and keep being strong my husband would have been laying at the bottom of a lake :p it takes one amazing woman to do what you ate doing!!
  • I understand u, I have been married 8 yrs < got married at 17> have 2 children which I adore, and one is 3 n my son is almost 10months and im 7 wks preg. When I got preg with my 2nd child I found out my hus cheated on me 3yrs ago, and (I was preg with my first one. ) I couldnt belive it either I dk what to do, its been so long but I still was hurt. I realized god put us here to forgive, I know he will pay soon. But he changed for good. To this point I havent told none of my fam. What happen. But u r a strong person. U will soon realize when u have ur baby boy he is not goin to mattet alot to u. T/c and relaxe. Oh by the way how old r u? Im 24 :)
  • Thank you for all your support. Rene28 I'm 27 my husband or whatever I'm suppose to call him now he is 31. I got married at 19 he was 23. See how long we have been together, see how long we waited to start a family. Yet he chooses now to walk away. Really what man does that. He is not a man he is a coward with no honor.
  • I am 26 and was 18 when we got married. He is 11mos older. Renee, I am happy for u that ur marriage has worked out now. I did forgive my ex numerous times, but for some reason it's like he's addicted to cheating! Anyways, mybaby2011, I'm proud of u for being so strong and making him figure out life for himself. Have u talked at all about when the baby is born? Does he plan on being an active father at least??
  • @rene28 how did u find out 3 yrs later that he cheated? Were u suspicious? Did someone tell u?
  • Yes, I found out bc in town they started to mention he got a girl preg. So I confronted her n she told me... Then I askd him n he was shock I knew everythin. I was ready for my divorce to start I couldnt believe how from a night to day light can change my life. Yes we were young, I ws only 19 but it still happen. I followed my heart I did forgive him but will never forget. He made a big turn in his life, hes so good to me n our kids. And I think I go day by day. Its hard but I try not to think bout it....
  • Wow... so sorry. It nvr really leaves ur mind even after u forgive. Did she have the baby? (Sorry for all the questions)
  • Cinnabon, he still wants to be active in the baby's life. He wants to go to all the doc appts, 3d sonogram, belly photos, and in the delivery room. At first I agreed and we even planned out that he will come home from the hospital and stay for the first few days so we can learn things together. That way when its time for him to start taking the baby on his weekends it won't be as such a shock for him and not know what to do.
    Now I'm not sure what I can handle, part of me still wants him back. I still want this life he has robbed from me and our child. When I go to the doc appt. I want him there as my husband to hold my hand to love me and comfort me. I'm still so confused but the bottom line is I don't know if I can handle him there. Everyone tells me I shouldn't allow him there he walked away so he shouldn't be able to be apart of it. The next doctors appt. is April 14th reach I am going to allow him to be there. One reason is every appt. We have to pay 100.00 on the bill of which he says he is going to pay. I need him to at least pay that and I'm afraid if I don't allow him to go he won't pay. Since I'm not sure yet if what I want I'm going to let him go. The 3d sonogram he has pd half of the deposit and that I have decided I'm not going to let him go to because we were going to invite family to it but now his dad has been horrible to me and telling all these lies so I don't want him there. I don't feel its fair for my family to go and not his so I'm taking the money he has paid me for half of the dep. off of the bills he owes me for this month and just telling him I can't handle him there. What is the right thing to do when it comes to these things. I feel wrong keeping him from most of all the birth of his son but stil am not sure I can handle him being there. I don't want to make any decisions I will regret later. What if someday we should get back together, will I be able to forgive myself if I keep him from this important moment in his life. Still everyone tells me I am to nice to him after all he has done.
  • Rene28 I'm so glad your husband has changed. I'm sure that does help, if he was still that same person I think it makes it harder to stay. Even if my husband says he is sorry and comes clean about everything and wants to work it out. I myself have already started to become a different person and better myself. He would have to change for me to agree to try to work it out. He will have to go to couseling and work on himself. I truly don't ever see him changing or wanting to for that matter. A lady at my church reminded me if its meant to be it will be and God will bring him back to me.
  • The most important thing is that you have to do what you are comfortable with. Stress is not good for you or the baby, especially during delivery! The birth of your baby should be special and memorable, and its completely your decision how that day should be. Don't worry about what is or isn't fair to your husband, he didn't think about what was fair to you when he started getting into bed with another woman. You have to worry about what is fair to you and your baby. And it is not fair for your son to be born into a hostile or uncomfortable environment and if you are stressed because he is there then that is not a good environment for your child to be born into. The important thing is that you HAVE to do what is going to make this the most amazing day for you and YOUR child! Good luck! There is no wrong decision here, whatever you decide you feel is best for you and the baby is the right decision! Good luck!
  • I think that no woman deserves what that man has done to you. However he is the father of your child and if he is willing to be there for his kid, then I think you should allow him to. I've never experienced anything similar but I do come from divorced parents. In this situation my dad walked out of my life when he left my mom and for four years he never even called. One day he decided to look for me and my mom let him see me. This man was a stranger to me. Now I have a beautiful relationship with my mom and my dad I have forgiven for what he has done but the image he imprinted on my heart of himself will never leave. Don't deprive your child of his father, or at this point don't do anything this man can ever use against you because some man do that, they brain wash their kids in order to receive love that they don't deserve. Always be honest to your child, you will be rewarded the best way a mother could be rewarded. God is great and he will guide you.
  • I agree, I can honestly say that im a stronger women I dont let no one put me down. My kids come first. And I do love my husband dont get me wrong but I dk if its me feeling sorry for him now, or I just think sex doesnt matter to me anymore. I feel like I really dont need him at all sometimes. After all this happen, we always have family time, and little trips. I know he tries so hard to keeo me happy (now) but, the damage is already done. And the sad rhing about it this girl has a bad rep. So she already went thrue 12 dna test with diffrent men . She cant find the dad to her daughter (..i wonder why..) And that makes it more % that my husband can be the father. He tells me it only happend once. I want nothin to do with her. And I tell him what r u goin to do about it, and he says if its mine I can pay child support, I tell him its not all about rhe money, if it is urs, I dont know what I am goin to do....its hard....
