Does my husband love his affair partner?

Asked by slumbery (7points) October 26th, 2018

I caught my husband having an affair with a girl last week. He was confused. He is sorry. He knows what he was doing is wrong but he still doing it. He has enough time to stop it but he makes it worst.
Can any of you out there share your experience and thought with me.
My husband said he has feeling for this girl. He never thought he could end up having sex with her. He always talked about us ( me and my son ) with her. They both agreed that they should not go any further than just friend. My husband did not tell her his real name. He never shared his work with her. He knows what he should and should not tell her. He completely knows what he was doing.
He said he likes to talk to this girl because she gave her good feeling. He feels happy talking to her. He feels being admired and he got full attention from this girl. He said he gave her positive and motivation talk when she was unhappy. But he, he did not share too many of his story with her. Within two weeks, they got closer. He was sending message to her more than to me. He rather went lunch with her than with me. No matter how busy and how tired he was, he will still went to meet her at her working place before he came back home. When my husband suggested they should stop going any further, she agreed but she offered sex to my husband. Well, my husband never had sex with any other woman before except me. So I guess he just can’t resist.
After the first sex, he wanted to confess but he dared not. Two days later, he went to see her again asking to stop. He said the girl requested for another sex before break up. Ridiculous, right? Anyway, they did it again. So… to not hurting the girl, he can’t just left her. Two days later, he went to see her again and I guess they have sex again. And another two days later, she called my husband to pick her up after work. Unluckily, he falls asleep and luckily, I saw the message and that’s how I caught him.
I texted her asking her to stop contacting my husband, she said okay. She said he is a good man and she doesn’t want to bring harm to us. But three days later, she called my husband again. My husband never gave her his phone number. I was there when my husband asked her “how did you get my number?”. She said when he was away, she used his phone to call her phone and that’s how she got my husband number. I know my husband was heart broken when he asked her to stop calling her. Action speaks louder than words. I saw from his expression.
I don’t know if he really falls in love with the girl or the feeling. Their relationship was serious for less than a month. Is that possible that my husband really in love with this girl? I asked him do you love her? He ignored my question and he said just give him time to forget about her. He said he feels shame. He was always a good husband and good daddy. He doesn’t want to talk about it, is it because he feels bad that he only wants to have sexual desire with her and not really love her.
Please, please help me! I really want to know does my husband in love with this girl? Please give me your opinion. Thanks.

I doubt your husband is “in love” with the girl, however he may be enthralled with the idea of someone new finding him sexually exciting and attractive. That “new relationship” energy can be very enticing. And, if you are okay with it, it adds some spice to his life.

If you aren’t okay with it, then you need to have a conversation with him about what you each will do going forward. If you want him to stop this affair, and he doesn’t, what are the consequences? Only you can answer that.

Nah, he wants (extra) booty.
He doesn’t care for her, or your feelings, at all.
He’s a #&*-+

I can’t add much more to what @zenvelo and @rebbel.

This won’t be the last time he cheats, either. You have to decide if you can live with his cheating or not. If not, it’s time to start planning to get out.

Never mind what HE FEELS about her, What DO YOU FEEL about this!
If he gets away with it he will continue on to others later.
Ask him if he wants a Divorce!
That will shake him up hopefully to realize what he put on the line for this dalliance.
Problem now becomes whether he ACTUALLY will stop now that he sampled single hood..a reminder of his single days going out with multiple women.
You need to discuss this with a qualified counselor first about how YOU feel not how HE feels.
He must now become transparent with all his activities daily and even hourly until you can gain trust in him again.
He has really put his family on the line to have FUN.
I would not believe him now.

I just thought of this. My ex was cheating on me with this chick. I’ll spare the details but it was insane. Basically she prided herself on being a homewrecker. After several months of his shit and her shit I kicked him out. He got his own place. He didn’t need to sneak around any more. She could come see him any time, for as long as she wanted to stay.
The affair lasted for all of 10 days after that. Then they broke up. My husband wanted me back. I said “No.” Shocked the shit out of him.

The only response worth anything at all here is that of @zenvelo
Underlines how fundamentally it’s only you & your hubby who could possibly know & therefore, be able to work out if your marriage is worth saving, I wish you good luck.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Also, you’re excusing his behavior, you know. You said, “So I guess he just can’t resist.” Well, so decide.

Probably not, but he was, and is still cheating on you. He’s not sorry, he’s only sorry he got caught.

I’m sorry this happened to you. You need to decide what you are going to do next. If it was me, I would probably be getting a lawyer and filing for divorce.

No. She gives him what he wants when he wants it. It’s about lust. Sex. Not love.

josie's avatar

Sounds like he might.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@kritiper His wife gives him what he wants too.

Well, for now @josie. As soon as the thrill of new vagina wears off he’ll probably change his mind.

kritiper's avatar

@Dutchess_III It’s not the same! He may get it from his wife but his friend gives it more often!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Now how could you know that? I never told my husband “No,” (except when I’d just had a baby and had only been home a week,) but that didn’t stop him.

kritiper's avatar

OH! We’re talking about YOU!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well, if you didn’t know this about me, how could you know this about someone you know even less than you know me?

kritiper's avatar

You have shown many times here that you have absolutely no concept of how the human male tends to think.

Dutchess_III's avatar

How could you possibly know that the affair woman was giving him more sex than his wife? He LIVES with his wife. He sees his fling just whenever.
I really don’t think that has anything to do with it. It’s new and different and that has everything to do with it.

Dutchess_III's avatar

As far as having a concept of how human males work. Yes. It’s really quite complicated. For a whole bunch of them it’s (as Ragingloli said,) “If it’s got a hole they’ll stick their dick in it.”
Sounds like the poor OP has that kind of human male asshole for a husband.

Get a lot of cash together and stash it then kick him to the curb. I’ve been through this stupid crap with my ex . Two years of it plus physical abuse and I was done. This guy isn’t going to stop; he’s just immature and not husband material. Find someone else who is and be happy. Do not let him torment you anymore.
