Advice About Addiction Within Relationships

First of all, if he did it once he's liable to do it again. Not to say that he will, but 90% of those that cheat on their spouses do it again, no matter who the new spouse is. If he isn't trying to work on your relationship by dedicating himself to you then you need to move on. I know it must be difficult and very lonely being a single mom but think what 5 years down the road would do to you and your children when he up and runs off with the neighbor's wife? I lived in a difficult marriage between my parents and I'm here to tell you, yes it was hard with just mom and me after she finally escaped, but we were both happier. Be smart and be safe, there are so many STDs out there in the world, I can't imagine having to tell my child I'm dying because daddy brought home a disease that is killing both of us. Sorry for being so frank.

It sounds like he isn't ready to settle down and become a mature responsible man. I know that it sounds harsh but he isn't the kind of person that you want your child around. Wouldn't you rather find someone who will be unquestionably faithful and someone you won't have doubts about? If your asking for advice you already know the answer. You should move on.

Doesn't sound like the type of guy you want to raise your child around. You want your child to be raised around a man who will be a good example. Your relationships will teach your child how he should be a future husband/man. If you have a daughter it will teach her what she should be looking for in her relationships with men as she gets older. I would suggest that you get involved in a church where people can get around you and support you. My husband is in the military so I don't know what it is like to be a single mother but I feel that I am pretty close to one. It is great to be in involved in a church that supports one another. If you are interested I am visiting Emmanuel Bible Fellowship. They have great activities for the kids and great ways for you to get plugged in and get some support.
