Divorced people only - How did you know your marriage was over?

I still have feelings for my husband BUT he has lied many times, he has hidden things from me, he has flirted with another woman - I am sure I found out.

I am not sure that he has cheated but since he has done the above I do not doubt it.

His explanation is: "I am human I made mistakes, lets get over it and move on".

I can not trust him any more. I think its over.

    When the respect is gone and the tears are gone ...you can look in that person's eyes and know that you can live WITHOUT them...

    If you still love your husband there is some hope. So many people feebly throw in the towell once the initial excitement, thrill, powerful desires and passions recede (typically agfter one to three years, btu not always).

    Please both read Dr Phil McGraw’s excellent book, “Relationship Rescue” (I wish I got commission!). As he says in the book, it isn’t only for people whose relationships are in trouble.

    when i was getting a divorce from my first husband i knew it was over cos i knew i could do better, i did not have love or respect for him. so for me the day of divorce was the happiest day of my life. but again - nobody ever cheated on me, i was the one who initiated the divorce cos i knew i could do better, so i can not rely on your situation

    Because he flirts with other women while still being married to you is the PROOF that YOU and YOU alone allowed for a fully sexual relationship BEFORE you married!

    Your own actions told him that you don't care about sexual fidelity inside of marriage!

    And he still agrees with your MORALITY!

    You created your own hell by not having proper morals!
