Experience Wife 1 (Cheating Husband)
This is my first post. I just recently found this place and would like to vent a little. I have been married for nearly 7 years on September 27, and I am not sure if we are going to make it. My husband started his "innocent" internet flirting several years ago. When I confronted him about it, he would stop for several months until I would catch him again. However for the last 3 years he has been on a rollercoaster ride to destruction. When I discovered him going into chatrooms and instant message women, I installed a im sniffing program on my computer. At first I used to read the messages, now I usually just look for certain words.

For the last 2 years the only anniversary gift I have asked for is for him to commit himself to me and stop cheating. He does not consider the internet sex as cheating and feels that I have blown everything out of proportion. One of his internet "girlfriends" has been with him on and off for 5 years. I feel that he has a more emotional and physical connection with her than he does with me. I truly want to save our marriage, but I don't think that it is possible anymore. He has totally forgotten his vows to me and tells me that he doesn't want to leave some of his girls because he feels sorry for them.
