I can answer most any questions regarding a husband wife relationship. Whatever the question may be. I would like to help you find an answer to it. If you want an honest and unbiased opinion on things then ask away. I have been divorced with 3 children, a single mother, and I'm remarried. I know what it is like to have a spouse cheat on you, to be taken advantage of, to feel like everything is hopeless (being depressed), emotions (the up`s and down`s). I will try to answer anything you have on your mind about husband-wife relationships, divorce, adultery, etc. Please don`t hesitate to ask.

Answer
Hi Tameika~

He's being very unfair to you.  The newness with his GF will eventually wear off.  And if he'll cheat on you, then he'll eventually cheat on his GF too.  It's only a matter of time before he does this.  You deserve to be treated way better than he's doing to you right now.  He doesn't truly love and respect you, if he did then he wouldn't be doing what he's doing now with this other woman.  He wouldn't even dream of it.  He's only concerned about his needs and wants, and what's satisfying him at the moment (which is the other woman).  He's insulting your intelligence and he feels that he can treat you in this manner.  You have to show him that you're not a door mat and you will no longer be disrespected by him nor anyone else for that matter.  

The hardest part is taking the first step and then actually going through it.  All of these thoughts and feelings you're experiencing are totally normal to go through.  It's a process once he's left for you to endure.  You have to grow from this and become stronger as time goes on.  And show him that he's not going to break your spirit or your will to get through this.  Perhaps you need to give him walk up call and go ahead and file for a divorce from him.  He's probably trying to call your bluff to see if you have what it takes to do what you say your going to do.  If you don't, then he's going to know that he can keep getting away with all this with you.  The choice is yours to make.  

Men can be very selfish and think with their penises' instead of their brains.  He wants his cake and to eat it too, I know, so cliche, but it's true.  He's being very selfish and thinking only of himself and his self pleasures in life, etc.  You have to command respect from him.  He's taking advantage of you and using you and this GF.  He's playing mind games with you.  And this has to stop or it's only going to make you even more miserable as time goes on.  Only you can make this choice and it all starts with you.
