We've been married for 3 years. When I met him, I thought that I'd found my soul mate. So I gave up my career, my house, everything, and moved here for him.

Ever since our wedding, I found him fooling around with other women online once a while. I caught him chatting with three women last spring. He explained that they were only online friends and he had never met anyone in person. Last November, some sent an email to my school (all the members in my assocation) with his pictures and the intimate conversation between them. I went for a talk with him and he admitted what he had done was wrong. He said that this was the only women he'd been contacting and he would never keep that relationship any more. Besides, he wrote an email to that woman to ask her to stop hurting me. I decided to give him a second chance. One week later, I found during a trip when I was using his laptop for my assignment that he was finantially supporting a Chinese woman's daughter and had vert initimate relationship with her mother. I called his family and we talked with him again. He made a sincere apology and promised to cancel all his online accounts. At the meantime, he told me again and again that I was the only one that he truly love. He turned down our advice on talking to a psychiatrist because he knew his own problem and could control himself.

It has been a peaceful and happy life since last Thanksgiving. However, he started coming home late from work (9 or 10pm) during the spring. When he told me last Sunday that he had to catch an early morning flight, I just felt that something was wrong. Yes, he downloaded chatting tools again. This time it was worse. He looked for women online and met them at lunch time or after work while he told me that he was having meetings the whole day. He even lied about meetings in a near city so as to meet someone. To get another girl come over to meet him, he transferred 300 dollars to her. And, he did meet someone at the airport that Sunday morning. He denied when I first asked him about his internet account. After I showed him the evidence, he said that it was only his fantasy online and he had never met anyone in person. He sent emails to me from anther city and left messages on our phone telling me how sorry he was and he still loved me.

What should I do?

Your H needs some serious counseling. See to that immediately. If your H is constantly involved in these As then there's no chance to work on your marriage. It takes two to make it work. It sounds like he's out to lunch.

Hang in there
