There's a huge difference between being "pro marriage" and knowing how to save marriages.


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

If your wife is not on board with MB, some of my posts to other men might help you.

And mortgage companies do not have to abide by a divorce court's ruling, they will go after whomever's name is on the mortgage.

You don't stay married to someone just because you have a house in your name. That is a ludicrous reason to stay married. People who own houses get divorced every day.

Of course not, but that is not the point. The point is what you know now. My suggestion would be to find a good male counselor who can help you learn to make better decisions. Trying to save a short 2 yr marriage with multiple affairs is not sound judgement. You have very little invested at this point. The longer you are married, the more damage you incur.

This is an adult woman who can figure out her future on her own. You are not her poppa.

I'm answering the question posed in your thread title.

What puzzles me is that clearly, you see that you might be in denial, and yet you resent the advice from people here to face the fact that your wife is a serial cheat who never went into this marriage intending to be faithful.

In your first post you ask "Or do I need to just run like hell!?" - showing that you recognise that the marriage is probably doomed - yet when people tell you that indeed it is, you are angry with them.

You listed a string of affairs that your wife has had, including during her first marriage, and you show that she has been physically abused by another men during your marriage, and has had several affairs with men she picked up off the Internet, and is addicted to male attention, yet you snap at people who tell you to run like hell - which is the suggestion that you your self made!

What answer are you hoping we would give you? And do you think it is unreasonable, given all the details you provided, for me to answer your question "Denial or what?" with "Denial"?

This is a good example of what happens when a BS becomes so caught up in their emotions (wanting to stay married) that logic and reason goes out the window.... frown
