I don't know whether to apply the advice given here or just be angry with my H. I have terrible mood swings(could be post partum also), I want to divorce H a couple times a day, smother him in love and apologies, call him frantically when he leaves the house, have an affair myself! I feel crazy! I keep on hearing the voice that says "once a cheat always a cheat"

Here's a little background: During my first pregnancy 3 years ago, my husband started acting emotionally distant & angry, acquired a cell phone without my knowledge & purchased a po box to get the bills sent to; It did not take me more than a few weeks to figure it out. I was horribly baffled and devastated! At a time when I needed my H the most and felt the closest to him(we had suffered two miscarriages the previous year and I was so excited for us), he all of a sudden loved me but wasn't "in love" with me-I had driven him away because I did not care about him, etc. etc.. Turns out he was seeing a girl with 3 children that worked at a strip club he visited once. Classy, huh. I could not believe that this was the same man I married. He was not remorseful and could not even tell me for months(in fact, until I had the baby) whether we were going to stay married. We did stay together and things got better between us. This was 3 years ago.

Unfortunately, I just had a baby 3 weeks ago(our 2nd which he finally convinced me to have! He was going to make everything up to me!) and I simultaneously found out the week previous that he got drunk on a business trip and hired an escort service. Again, I am so amazed that he could do this to me again!!!! I feel like a fat fool! He admitted after only a few minutes of coaxing on my part-only half truths of course like he canceled the service at the last minute-did not do anything, etc. . This time, it is a little different which confuses me also: He is very sorry, very attentive, bought me jewelry, wants to work on our marriage, etc.
I don't know what to do especially with 2 little ones, the older who idolizes his dad.

Welcome to marriagebuilders. It is a good place to be considering the circumstances. For some reason there are lots of men who cheat when their wife is pregnant. There are several women posting in General Questions who are pregnant.

Start in Plan A - you can read all about it in this forum under the General Welcome to All New Builders thread.

You might also want to post in General Questions. There are others going through the same thing there. Also there is more traffic.

Stick with us and keep posting. We can help you through this.
