Default Need Advice. I think I'm stupid.

So my wife and I separated for about 3 months. After I've been nice to her and let her do everything she wanted. I also beg her to come home sometimes. I thought for sure she would leave me for good. I told her I wanted a family (with or without her). I told her about my future of what I wanted. I do wanted her back, but I sometimes want her to feel guilty because of what she did (cheated). I showed her nothing but love and care. I thought, "What the hell, this is the last time I get to be a good husband to her."

Well, she came back. Not only that, she wanted to have a baby right away. That was 2 weeks ago. I'm still in this processing mode. I can't seem to think straight. I want her back, but I don't know how to trust her. She wants a baby now, and I also want a family. She's acting like nothing happened. She came back full force. I can see that if she's pregnant, nobody would want her. But I still don't know how to trust her.

What should I do?

About transparency thing for cheating spouse. She doesn't seem to care for me to check her email, phone, etc. But she's still the same person, she won't let me ask a lot of questions. She will tell me things when she wanted, but she does tell me a lot of things. Too much information really. Hurt like hell.

I wanted her back really bad. She is now back. I don't want her to leave again.

She said part of the reason she left is because I married her for 5 years and I still don't have a baby with her. She wanted one since the first day she married me. She thinks I married her, but still being boyfriend and girlfriend, that's why she wanted to find someone to start a family with. Is this a good reason for cheating?

DO not have a baby until your marriage is stable.

She cheated because you weren't giving her what she wanted O.o

Be careful.

Something doesn't make any sense to me here. Why would a W cheat on her H because of a difference in opinion about starting a family? I would definitely be concerned about her being pregnany now by another man. That's why the rush???

I'd be very careful, and I totally agree with "that girl" about waiting until your relationship is stable.

This is my first thought too, unfortunately. I would NOT have any unprotected sex with her, no matter what she promises about being safe.

Work on a healthy relationship for the next year or so, then decide about the kid thing. How old are you too?

She's not pregnant. She just have her period last week and just ended yesterday. That's why today, I'm kind of worried. I afraid to have a kid with her. She's about to ovulate soon.

I'm 26 and she's 30.

Do you think it has to do with Mid Life Crisis? She's 30 and in 5 years the rate of birth defect will climb like crazy.

Why in the hell would you even consider bringing an innocent life into this world and into the mess that is your current marriage???

Don't do that. Its so irresponsible.

Fix your marriage. Make sure it's stable for at least 3-5yrs before you even talk about a child with this woman!

You should discuss this with a counselor. It sounds like you are both on the same page for what you want, but it is very understandable about the lack of trust. Faith alone will take awhile.

I believe the MLC are a big part of irrational behaviors and cheating.

Counseling make sense to me. She should understand.

Because I'm afraid if I don't, then she'll leave me.

I scheduled for counseling, but it doesn't start until 2 weeks from now. What do I do in between?

Every time I tell to her to wait because trust isn't there yet. She would say that I didn't change, I'm still the same person I was before she left.

So what happens if you have a child, she continues to cheat and ends up leaving you anyways? Won't you grow to resent that child that you never really wanted to begin with??

Please don't do this to an innocent child. Don't. I see it too often with parents who have too many kids they can't support financially or emotionally. Stop the cycle. Don't have a kid out of fear.

Sorry Scione, that's a really bad reason to have a baby, and it won't stop her from leaving you again.

1st time poster here.

Lots of people think having a baby will solve problems in a relationship- it does not.

Good friends of mine went that route.

Now they have

a) young child
b) major marriage problems worse than before
c) the added stress of raising said child, most likely in a broken home.

If she will wait, then it will be worth it. If not, you likely shouldn't have a child for the sake of the child.

I'm sorry your wife and her boyfriend broke up. Its unfortinate b/c you wouldn't be in this mess if they were still together.

But since your are in this mess she just might want to wait for a year. Have you asked her.

If she is a reasonable women she will help you heal first and regain the trust, then have a baby.

Is she willing to repair the marriage or is it all about *her* baby?
