To answer my girl completely's last question: if the parents were swingers, no that doesn't make them bad parents (they are the adults) and the decision to swing would be mutual. If some cheated, it's not mutual it's betrayal

"You held your cool, for your kids. And thats awesome. Your wife sounds like a witch. The fact that she wasn't even upset at what she had been doing, is messed up. I hope that everything goes your way, because you sounds like the better parent for your kids."
Ok I guess thats what your talking about completely. That was my post before. I didn't say she was a bad mother. I just stated my opionion about him being the better parent. Because it seemed she didn't seem to care, about cheating on him, whatever. And that he held his cool around his kids. That takes a strong person to do. We don't know the whole situation. And I also tried to pm him, and he didn't respond. Maybe we should just close this thread, because it seems to be an upsetting topic. I was not trying to be judgemental or anything. I was just trying to show some support for him.

Gerard,
3.) Were there problems going on in the marriage before this? It seems odd that a woman you felt was totally devoted to you would suddenly have an affair. Stress makes people do strange things, and I'm wondering if she was under stress or if there were problems going on.
And another very important question I would like to ask-has your wife recently started on any new medications, most importantly any medications for what is called "Restless Leg Syndrome". The medications for restless leg syndrome have been linked to both compulsive gambling, and hypersexual behavior. http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/82-judgment-against-parkinson39s-drug-mirapex.aspx?googleid=245006“Impulse Control/Compulsive Behaviors
"Cases of pathological gambling, hypersexuality, and compulsive eating (including binge eating)have been reported in patients treated with dopamine agonist therapy, including pramipexole therapy.
Also, has she recently been experiencing any headaches, had any falls (however minor) automobile accidents (however minor) dental procedures, complaints of illness, running a fever, night sweats. Were you ever with a prostitute before your marriage? Any damage to the limbic system (in the brain) can cause hypersexual behavior. Syphilis, which she could've contacted from you if you were sexually active before marriage, can manifest in the later stages as odd, hypersexual behavior. Then, of course, there are brain tumors, metabolic diseases.... When people suddenly engage in unusual behavior there may be any underlying medical cause. Or the next door neighbor just may be very seductive. also, I had to look up what a "panty waist" is http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19990427

I guess I should say something, seeing as how I started all this. It has been interesting reading all of the replies and comments. There are some things I need to state for the record: I don't believe my soon to be ex-wife is a bad mother. I do believe she has made a decision that will have long lasting effects on our children. I think that when you become a parent, your whole life's focus should shift to the well being of your children. Like I said before, there were times when female co-workers flat out let me know that they would sleep with me if I wanted to. I always blew them off because I knew how much it would hurt my kids. Look, if my wife had just come to me and said "I'm interested in women", I would have said fine, let's get a divorce and you can do what you want. The fact that she did not give me that choice is what kills me. At some point in our lives, my children are going to ask why we got divorced, and once again she will have put me in an excrutiating position. So I'll let you decide if she is a bad mother or not, but my kids will ultimately make that decision.

WOW! I responded to this thread early on and completely could not find it when I was looking for it again. So I was eager to read this today once I found it again and see what had happened after Gerarpd had put up the cameras! Wow! I suspected the best friend, but not the best friends wife!! I am so sorry. That was a double whammy for sure! It sounds like you took the high road when you did confront your wife and that is always the best road to take. When you are in the right, there is no need to argue and no reason to be ugly. You and your children will be all right. And when the time comes for the truth to come out and the kids want to know the reason - tell them to ask her. Let her deal with it. Best of luck to you and your children.

Hi guys. I can't believe so many people responded to my story. I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to share their opinion. I am now faced with yet another dilemma. I have officially filed for divorce. I am still living with my aunt at the moment. My wife and I have been good about splitting time with the kids. We still have not told them the truth. All I asked of my wife is that she not be around my kids with her "girlfriend". She thankfully agreed. Anyway, last night my wife shows up at the doorstep crying and begging me to forgive her. She says that she was just going through some things and now wants our family back together. I'm really confused. I would like our family to stay in tact, but there is no way I'm going to be able to forget everything that she has done to me and our kids. How do I know she's not really gay and some other woman will just come and sweep her off her feet. Not only that, I've actually met a really nice woman. We met at the coffee shop and have been emailing and texting frequently. The only problem is she is eighteen years old(I'm in my thirties). I actually feel great when I'm with her, but I may just be going through something myself. She keeps asking if she can come over to the house(my aunt moved back to Florida, so I'm alone in there). Part of me wants to give in to her. I'm not sure I would be doing it out of desire for her, or me wanting revenge against my wife. I don't know what to do.

 Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that you and your wife are at least thinking about the children. You have every reason to not trust that your wife will find someone else and take up with them. The trust has to be earned. You and your wife should really seek counseling before you go thru with the divorce. You can always ask to put the divorce on a hold. You have alot vested to not give it your all before throwing in the towel. As far as starting up with an 18 year old (check her ID before going any further) "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?"  There I said what everyone else is thinking!! You can't possibly start something new yet.

Happy to hear you are feeling better and moving on with your life. however, like you said you are going through some things.. An Eighteen yr old doesnt have a clue, sorry..  why drag her into a mess she is not ready for and could just hurt her. Besides, that is one sure way to really tick off your wife and it doesnt really look good to others either. I understand she is an adult, legally.. but Its just not right. Im sure you will do whats best for you and your children. good luck to you.

This is not the path you want to take. Oh sure an 18 yr old likes me at my age is what you are thinking. Remember this is all new. You are not happy of what your wife did. You need to look at realty. You say maybe you should get back together, maybe you both should seek consuling before you decide to do anything further.
Just my advice, take it or leave it.

As if things were not weird enough! So I decide to go and talk to my wife yesterday about getting back together. She did not know I was coming. As I'm approaching the house, I notice that Leslie(the 18 year old that's been hitting on me pretty hard) is standing on our porch talking to my wife. I kept driving and they did not notice me because they were laughing and talking together. I don't know what the hell is going on now. How does this girl even know where I live and why were her and my wife talking? Something isn't right.

Well I was trying not to post on here. But oh well. Sounds to me like she is setting you up.

To set you up like this she would have to be a total nut job. Who thinks like that?

Why don't you just call a meeting with your wife at a coffee shop and ask the 18yr. old to meet you there too at the same time (not informing her your wife will be there)... then you all can lay things out on the table and see what's up......

I have a better idea. I asked Leslie to come over Saturday night. I'll be able to tell if something is going on. I'll keep you guys posted. I'll set her up before she sets me up.

 Bad idea! Do not meet her at your house. Go to a public place where others can see you. If she is trying to set you up for some criminal offense being alone with her is a really bad idea.

No one is here to judge you in any way ~ never feel strange to come here! We want you to feel comfortable to come here and sweep if nothing else! Good luck to you!
This is what SA is all about. If you can only post mean comments, don't post at all. This is not a thread to be posting attacks on other members, attacks on the OP or conversations about Duck Embryos. You can believe what is written or not, but please keep it to yourself. Always remember that the person making a post is a person, with all those pesky little feelings that come with being human. The story has developed into a fascinating saga. Believe it or don't believe it. Just keep your nasty comments to yourself. I think this is a good time to remind people that this is a forum. We don't know the people posting on it. We only know what they write. I could be a 12 foot chocolate rabbit for all you know.  No matter how long you talk to people on a forum, you don't really know what their lives are like, whether they are genuine, a scam artist or a troll. The SA forums are primarily for sweeping information. We asked Admin to expand them a little so we could have some nonsweeping interaction with each other. This is a privelege. Admin expects that we will conduct ourselves in a friendly, kind, compassionate, adult way. While we don't want to be like other forums and pull threads and posts, let this serve as a warning. Posts will be modified or removed if they are not constructive in nature. Bickering with, baiting, attacking or making fun of other members will no longer be tolerated. We have been way too lax with all this stuff lately. Let's go back to being adults and move forward. I am sanitizing this thread.

OK I owe an apology or two, first to gerardp, I did not ever mean you where not telling the truth, just that the whole thing is wild. I am truely sorry if it came off any other way. I would never intentionally hurt someones feelings. I hope you find the peace you need and the answers you want. And wolfie, yes you are right, I got carried away and lost track of the subject. for that I apologize to everyone and anyone who I upset, hurt or any other problem. I only hope good things for everyone. Some times my onery side gets me in trouble and I forget people don't always know I am teasing. So again my apology and I will be quite and not bother anymore. God bless you all. tobby1

Ger,
You asked for our support, some was good and some was bad. Now you totally cut us out from what has been happening. I don't feel that is fair to the people that were giving you positive support. Hope all is well with you & most important your children.
