Don't know what to do...
I have been married to my husband for almost 2 years now and I am 8 months pregnant with our first child (due April 4th!!!). He is in the ARMY and we are stationed very far from home (few thousand miles). Well he has this old friend that he has known for a long time that he texts every so often, I know I shouldn't have but the be gaining of last August I looked through his phone and found text messages from him and her saying that he was going to leave me to go be with her and they would be happy together. (I found out that I was pregnant August 1st, and my birthday is august 6th, so I was DEVASTATED by this news) granted we had been fighting a lot but we were trying to work things out he explained tp me that is was all a misunderstanding. Thankfully we did!! We are now happier then we have ever been...or so i thought because of what happened in the text messages before I found myself looking though his phone again. I found messages from him talking behind my back to the same girl. When I question him about it he just had another excuse. At this point I don't know if I should believe him or not, it all looks really bad but he could be telling the truth and I hate to think that he would be lying to me....But I just have this horrible feeling int he back of my head that I cant get out!!
Has anyone had something like this happen before? What was the outcome?What did you do about it?

Re: Don't know what to do...
He is lying. You don't deserve that. You know he is, and need to stop believing his excuses. Trust your gut feeling.
I should have put in their that the las text message i read we from February 2nd. We have had marriage counseling but the counselor only agreed with me it was odd, but since then my husband has refused to go any more.....
I want to tell my husband how I feel but I just don't know how to bring it up to him, it's not an every day conversation....And the bad part is we will be going back home (same town where this girl lives).
[QUOTE]What was the misunderstanding in the first place? If he was saying he was going to leave you for her, I don't see how that message is could be twisted around. If it really was the case (that he was leaving you) and he lied the first time, he shouldn't have ever talked to that woman again when you gave him a 2nd chance. Sounds like a Lying McLiarson to me.

And this time he said that she kinda lives though other people experiences so he was just telling her stuff that wasn't true. But I feel like if it wasn't true then 1.) why say it and 2.) if he really does love me like he says he does, then why talk behind my back and make up stuff?!?!?!</p>

None of that makes any sense whatsoever. He's lying and you know it. Don't let him twist it around and make lame ass excuses. You're smart enough to know better.
[QUOTE]What is an "emotional affair"?
Posted by court476[/QUOTE]
It means that he's having inappropriate feelings for someone else that is not you, his wife. He's acting on it through these texts. It may not be physical (meaning they haven't kissed or had sex) but from what it sounds like he's in love with someone else. It's an affair, but without the sex.
He's lying to you and I'm really sorry about it. The ladies above have given some good advice.
[QUOTE]What is an "emotional affair"?
Posted by court476[/QUOTE]
It is when someone cheats but doesn't do anything physical. As in he is more intimate emotionally (staring stories & emotion) with her and not you. As in she knows him better than you do.
He is a lying cheating bastard. This is a perfect example of " Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." This is the second time you have found him cheating. please leave. If you don't leave, then you need to understand he will continue to cheat.
*edit- to make sense.

[QUOTE]So I know I have to talk to him and I will tonight, but the thing is I am not very good at being confrontational. Would I be able to send him a text message and put everything that i want to say in that and still get the point across that I want him to have nothing to do with this girl? (because I still love him with all my heart) or would it HAVE to be face-to-face?

If you can't talk to him, your relationship is past saving. Communication is the MOST important thing in a relationship. He is cheating and you can't talk to him?

I understand how you feel about confrontation. I'm the same way. Oftentimes, I know exactly what I want to say and I'll have it planned out perfectly in my head, but when it comes time to say it, my words get all mixed up and I don't end up saying everything that I want to.
I do believe that this is a face-to-face conversation that needs to happen, but maybe you can write all of your feelings down first, and then read it to him, and then let the conversation happen from there.
I'm truly sorry for what you're going through. My advice to you is to talk to him, and don't lose your courage to stand up for yourself and be taken advantage of.

</div><div>This is a good idea. Write down everything you want to say and read it to him. You need to have this conversation in person, but writing it down will give you a chance to say everything you need to say without letting him interrupt with his absurd lies.</div><div>
</div><div>If he won't agree to continue marriage counselling, you need to walk. If he is not willing to work on this relationship, you can't save it.

This is what I was going to say. I get it won't be a comfortable conversation, but if you can't stalk to him, there are much larger issues.
