Hey everyone. Im going through something with my husband and I wanted everyone's opinion on what I should do. Since we are all in one, or have been in a LDR I really need advice from our community.
A little background info:
My husband and I met online in 2008, we dated online for a year before we met in 2010. We are great together, seriously when we are able to actually be together it's like the world stands still. Before we got married he came to America for a month, then came back for 6 months, then I went to Australia for 3 months, and the most recent time he was here for 8 months. We were going to start immigration but I lost my job so was unable to sponsor him. I added it up and we've been together in the same time zone for 18 months and have now spent 25 months apart Our plan is for me to move to Australia, and he is working on that right now.
Here's my problem:
Right before he left, I was playing around on my old iphone and logged into facebook, his old facebook account was up and out of curiosity i clicked the messages tab. I found like 10 messages with him and different girls flirting and talking about hooking up. I immediately asked him wtf he was doing and he freaked out. I called it cheating, he said it was just talking and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Flash forward a couple weeks and he is back in Australia, and im left to deal with all the emotions that come with being betrayed. So we are apart and hating it, and dealing with this on top of it. He's been gone over 3 months now, and I still cannot let it go, I am feeling so hurt all the time and I do not trust him AT ALL. I feel like he's chatting up whoever and that he doesn't even care about me. He finally admitted he was wrong just recently, and I think the thing that hurt me so much is that he is the type of guy who would never do that. Seriously, my family adores him, he is respectful, and really amazing and it caught me off guard. On top of the cheating issue, I've caught him lying to me a couple of times. Most recently he moved in to a new apartment with his 2 best friends told me it was a 3 bedroom house, told me the amount it was so Id know what he was paying weekly (im in charge of a budget) I had picked up a cute card to send to him so I asked for his new address. I googled it to confirm the zip code and i see real estate listings for a 4 bedroom house at a different $ amount weekly. So I caught him in 2 lies, then he lied about it being a 4 bedroom, and then finally said that his best friends sister is living with them. This happened a couple of days ago and I literally feel so betrayed that I cant even talk to him. This girl is his ex girlfriend, living with him in a house, and he said he didn't tell me because Id be upset! Ya think?! He knows he screwed up but I feel like between the lying and the cheating when does it stop. Am I stupid for staying with him? What should I do? I am so confused, any input or advice will be helpful. I mean Im going to move to Australia to be with him, and to finally put the distance between us, Im just worried how Im going to feel when I see him. I love him, and want to make it work, but I dont know if he's acting like this because of the distance or if he has changed and is completely different?
Thanks for your help!
