Infidelity

I just found out my wife that I have a one and a half year old boy with has been unfaithful to me. We have been marred for 5 years and together for 8. I loved her with all my heart and now I’m going through the roller coaster of emotions and it feels like I’m grieving the loss of someone I once knew. It’s so painful. She wants to try and fix things, but at the same time says she has a connection with this other man. How is this even possible?

Trust is forever broken, I've been there.
Dump her and concentrate on your son.

Sorry..

Saying Sorry doesn't fix shit so do yourself a favour and free yourself no matter what the financial penalty is and I'll bet my last dollar she knew she was doing it from day one.

Our culture seems to accept that women marry for money then marry for love..after they have the income stream.

Try doing the same and see how she wants to fix things then.

Sorry to tell you this but...

She isn’t trying to fix it if she tells you there’s still a connection with other man. You deserve to have someone better and worthy of your love.

Terrible feeling

It’s awful when you’re I love with two people. Someone gets hurt.

Easily Possible

I can understand this if she loved this other man before she met you. He was in her heart first, you came in as a convenient substitute when he was out of reach, and she just ended up settling for you. Otherwise, she's just someone that goes around experiencing "connections" with other guys, and can't really help herself.
Truth is, you can know a lot about a person, but as for most people out there, you can never know them 100%. Most people are never 100% honest about who they are with themselves to begin with. The majority of people will every so often at some point or another, turn around 180 degrees and surprise you with a slap in the face, revealing someone you never knew them to be. They reveal parts of their true character, when they do this.

How is what possible?

That she wants to work things out with you? She is invested in you. You have a life and a child together which means a permanent connection.

That she also has a connection to another man? Well, would she be having sex with someone she didn't like? Conversely, is your penis so fascinating that she would never ever want to try someone else?

North Americans need to grow up about this shit.

That’s so hard

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s just an awful feeling; so hurtful. How you decide to deal with it is entirely up to you, and don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you automatically have to dump her! A marriage is full of difficult times, particularly if you have children. If you want to try to move past this together, at a minimum I’d suggest finding a good marriage counsellor. If you decide to break up, try to do it civilly and with the need of your child firmly in mind. People make mistakes all the time, some of them big ones. People also forgive all the time. There are couples all around you that have gone through the infidelity of one or the other of them, and have stayed together to n spite of it. You wouldn’t know which ones unless they told you. I wish you luck coming going forward, whatever the two of you decide to do.

Someone doesn't get hurt. Everyone gets hurt. People that believe themselves to be in love with multiple people at once, are lying to themselves to justify and rationalize a betrayal they perpetuated.

You can love multiple people, but you can only be in love with one, because it's that one whether they're alive or dead, you're constantly thinking about, morning, noon, and night desiring for them to be there with you, regardless of whoever else is around that you claim to be in love with.

Dump her
