my Moroccan experience...some of it

Two weeks before I found out that my husband cheated, I let him talk me into giving him $50,000 (my father left me $865,000 in cash when he passed away 7 years ago) because "he was afraid something would happen to me" and he would have nothing. We have a child together so I figured it made sens, Of course, now I realize he might have been afraid I would find out about the affair and leave him. I can tell you one thing for certainty. No man is above cheating. If it happened to me, it can happen to you! I trusted him implicitly. It happened a year ago and I still think about it every day. It is very hard to imagine the one you loved and trusted having sex with someone else. Sometimes I don't know how I can go on. But I do. I just wish he would have admitted he actually had relations with her. She wrote to me and told me everything and I believe her. She had no reason to lie. I check his phone and Facebook and email often and he is okay with that because he knows he has to earn trust back. Anyway, I love the guy. Women, trust your instincts and if you suspect something, follow him and know for SURE!

I found out by checking his phone bill and call after call and text after text to an unknown number...WOW! Sure enough, he was fooling around for 6 weeks behind my back. I made him change his cell number, call her on speaker phone in front of me and END IT! Now, he makes sure he is home when he says he will be and doesn't mind me checking him out. We love our child and want her to grow up with two parents. That's all I have to say for now. :)
