My husband has committed the unthinkable. He was employed as a police officer for a period of seven years. In one day, my life changed completely. We were at church and he got a call stating that he was being arrested for an alleged rape. I asked him if he raped someone and he said no. He went in and met with detectives and the next thing I know he was going to jail. From there, I was told (by someone other than him) that he had slept with a prostitute while on duty. He paid her 12 dollars! The prostitute screamed rape and he was being investigated!
The next week was a nightmare because this story was publicized on every news channel each time the news came on. How humiliating!
After a week in jail, he was released on bond and rape was not a charge. (I mean come on you can't rape the willing) His story was that he had slept with this prostitute while on duty but guess what, he didn't even use a condom! NASTY!!!!!!!!!!! He said that it was consensual which I believe because she accepted payment.
From here, he has since lost his job and is now facing felony charges. My position on infidelity is that this in itself is not a deal breaker. Everyone makes mistakes. However, I was faced with infidelity, his loss of income, possible felony conviction and found it all out on the Channel 8 news!
We have a 2 year old son together, which just breaks my heart in two. He is still in the residence because he has to stay at the address that the courts have. To add insult to injury his parents are expecting me to forget about it and stand by their son but I feel that this is a bit much considering all he jeopardized. How can you move on in a marriage that has caused so much pain?
