HOW TO HANDLE A CHEATING HUSBAND
I’m always happy to see women seeking solutions instead of giving up. I’m not condoning cheating or encouraging women to endure bad marriages. However, finding solutions is crucial, especially when a cheating husband remains responsible and non-abusive.
It’s deeply painful to share a bed with someone who has been intimate with another woman. The wife may experience depression, stress, ill health, confiding in family and friends, sleeplessness, constant crying, and even confronting the other woman—often to no avail. The emotional toll of seeing someone who shows little regard for her feelings is immense.
My dearest married woman! Here’s a possible response to a cheating husband.
• Stop worrying and complaining.
• Take excellent care of yourself; maintain a clean and attractive appearance.
• Smile more than ever.
• Engage in activities you enjoy.
• Focus on your well-being and your children’s. Make your children your closest confidants.
• If you work, concentrate on your job or business.
• Avoid sharing important matters with him, but maintain basic communication and fulfill your marital duties, such as cooking.
• Stop initiating sex. If he initiates, don’t refuse, but participate without overt enthusiasm. If you were previously demonstrative, tone it down, but never refuse.
• Stop letting him see that you can’t live happily without him.
• Spend time with friends who support you, but maintain your privacy.
• Always look your best when you go out.
Some cheating men avoid sex with their wives. Even if the wife initiates, he might feign tiredness or stress. Stop embarrassing yourself; don’t push it, no matter how hard it is. If he stops touching you, don’t ask or complain.
• Maintain high self-esteem and confidence. Prioritize your happiness.
• Start saving money in a private account. A cheating husband is often insecure. Instead of improvement, he might divorce you. Your savings will protect you and your children.
While doing all this, don’t let him think you’re a fool. Don’t cry or act distraught as before. Discreetly monitor his activities. If he tries emotional blackmail, remind him of his recent actions.
Your silence shouldn’t be mistaken for ignorance or acceptance. When a woman prioritizes her happiness, some cheating husbands complain as if she’s to blame, forgetting that her reaction is a direct result of his behavior.
Cheating husbands who still love their wives are often jealous. When you focus on your well-being and stop crying or complaining, it often affects his conscience, if he still cares, despite his infidelity. He may fear losing you; he might even suspect you’re cheating. He might then start playing the victim.
Cheating husbands often have inflated egos. They feed on your tears and pleas. When you stop reacting, their fear of losing you may lead to frustration.
Only those who never truly loved you will continue cheating without fear of losing you
