Not sure - I knew a guy that cheated on his fiancé throughout most of their engagement

Once they got married, he never wandered again

He even told the girls that it was over once he said
‘I do’.

She's the one that fricked up and yet he is the one that is supposed to double down...

Damn, if you didn’t have that mortgage this would be a lot easier.

I mean yea it's presented in a really stupid way but advising the guy to find a way to forgive and move on is probably the best advice to give him

My issue is that she's just now opening up to her husband on something that was supposedly a one night stand, that makes me think this was not the only time.

I would think differently if she didn't wait 20 years

Yep.

I know a few guys that had one last stand at their bachelor parties - some have never come clean about it

They was engaged.
Cut bait and get a new one.
She hid it. Should of told him before wedding if she really wanted to be forgiven. But years of hiding it is a no go for me.

He should get over it. It's not technically cheating because they were in different zip codes.

If she truly loved and cared about him, she wouldn't have told a secret from 20 years ago that does nothing but hurt him. She put appeasing her guilty conscious over his feelings. Honestly, i think this is a sign that she wants out, but doesn't want to accept the responsibility of ending it.

To the OP, it was 20 years ago and they weren’t married. I wouldn’t throw away 20 years of marital bliss over this.


I would and wouldn’t think twice about it because it’s probably happened again during the 20 years.

While hurtful and disappointing your wife cheated before you were husband and wife and your vows had been taken.
I think the greatest thing you could do is quickly forgive her, give her grace and double down on your love for your wife! She maybe carrying guilt and shame and how you handle this will either harm your relationship or significantly enhance it.
Why rehash it and go back 20 years. She was immature, you were gone and she was still in college. Let it go sir!
I think it takes considerable courage, love, kindness, mercy and forgiveness to move on. While we all probably would want to know all the same questions you asked, I would personally be afraid to hear the answers.
I am praying for you! May God heal your heart and help you to love like you have never been hurt!



Seriously, frick whoever said this shite. If the guy genuinely wants to forgive her and move on, then great. But he shouldn't feel obligated to. You can't just pretend things are all right. Communicate and lay it out there.

She sucks based on the update. Time to cut bait.



bet she's a habitual offender, I'm not proud of this, at least not now, but I was the pre-marital Jody a time or two and just thought it was funny as hell, doesn't seem so funny in my old age, I've changed a lot over the years but have always told my old lady that there's one thing that equals to one strike, you're out

Based on that story, she definitely has no respect for him and I doubt she ever loved him. I'd be getting DNA tests on the kids. Not to cut them off, just to see what he's working with here.
