Advice from Annie Lane.
When I was first married to my husband, he cheated a lot. We have two daughters. When we were 27, I found out he had a 5-year-old son. I stayed with him, but it was not easy.
Now we are 63, and I Just found out he has a 40-year-old daughter. He said he’s sorry. He’s disabled now. I know he loves me, but it still hurts. How many others are out there? I just wanted to tell my story. By the way, these were one-night stands.Thank you for sharing your story. You should sit down with your husband, tell him that you love him and ask him to come clean on all his transgressions.
The old adage “once a cheater, always a cheater” seems relevant here. You should understand the extent of his past and relationships that he carried out behind your back. If you continue to support him and be with him, it will make it easier if there are no more surprises.I read the letter from “Cat Lady,” whose mother-in-law brings unwelcome and ill-behaved dogs to her home. I agree that this is the husband’s discussion to have with his mother, but another solution occurred to me.
Maybe the daughter-in-law and son could hire a pet walker to come by the house when the mother-in-law brings her dogs. If the dog walker takes them out to wear them out a bit and then wipes their paws before they reenter the home, that could reduce the problem. I have several working friends who have hired capable pet helpers and have been pleased with the results.Dear Might Be Worth a Try: That is a great suggestion. Thank you for your letter.
