Please bear with me as I am new to this. I have been reading all of your posts from time to time and now find myself in need of some outside support.

I'll try to make this short and to the point. A couple of months ago, I found out that my husband went on a trip with some friends and a woman that happens to be a bartener at a local bar that my husband frequents often went with to be a companion of another friend. As it turned out, this bartender didn't "hook up" with the other mutual friend and spent the weekend in my husbands hotel room.

We have been through all of the arguements about this and he swears nothing went on and he is not cheating on me. This I do believe (for reasons unknown right know) and I have tried to "forgive and forget". The hard part is forgetting.

Most recently I came acorss a couple of pictures on our computer of this "girl". This obviosly sparked more emotions and again, my husband swears nothing is going on but all of this is tearing me apart inside. My heart believes him, but my head is telling me I'm nuts.

All he does is get mad when I question these various things and he doesn't understand what he has put me through.

Any adivce?

Come on...this does not add up. Most betrayed spouses (BS) on the site, tend to have some sort of a hunch (with less "clues" than you seem to have). Honestly...what does your GUT, your intuition, your heart tell you?

Not to mention probably every single BS on the site can tell you at least one story where the wayward spouse (WS) told them a hundred lies denying the A, got mad or defensive, VEHEMENTLY denied it.

My WH lied to me, several times, lied to our friends, our colleagues, his parents, our pastor, his individual counselor, our marriage counselor, and who knows who else, before I finally found the love letters on the e-mail between them. He even lied to my face days before D-day, when I was expressing my concern with a business trip he was going to take. I did not want him to go (because he had told me the whole "I love you, but I am not IN love with you story" and I asked him not to go. He told me he was definitely going to go, so I made him promise that his trip would not interfere with our marriage counseling, reconciliation, etc...little did I know he was telling me this, making this promise, and he was really going to see her).

Look, it may be well worth doing some further investigating. Does he have a cell phone...check his records. Credit cards, the same. Maybe install spyware on the computer. Hire a PI.

Knowing is the first step to a possible recovery.

But the photos on the computer thing sounds very suspect. And if he is not in an A yet, he is on the superhighway to one real fast. I would read up right away in affair proofing your marriage. And I am pretty sure that women sleeping over in your hotel room or pictures of women you know on your computer are not a good way to keep your marriage safe from infidelity.

Good luck, sorry you are here. We will be here to help you!
