I am from Bangladesh.A Muslim women(38years) .Age of my marriage is 14 years.I have three children of 12,10 & 8 years old. I had a very good relationship with my husband(45years). He is very honest ,caring to me & my family . He is from a very good & honorable family.I never find any bad habit in him.But recently he made a sexual relationship with my maid in my absence at home.I couldn't realize due to my blind believe.But when the occurrence comes out ,he confess. he said it was just an accident.he didn't control him at that 7/8 times.he tried to return from that situation.There was no other mental involvement.He sick my forgiveness .He still love me.He can't think himself without me,give promises that this will never happened again etc.etc.In this situation i am very much upset.I love him very much & don't think to live without him. I don't understand what i have to do in this situation & what will be my behavior to him.Finally how can i forget all this thing which seems very much painful to bear.
I would get rid of the maid, Tell her that she is no longer welcomed in your home. 14 years is along time, You and your husband have three children and it is wrong for him to be doing something like that. The next time he makes a promise tell him "Don't make a promise you can't keep" Infact, If your husband can't be a man and love you and your children then maybe your husbands also needs to go. I know you love him but you don't deserve a man that treats you badly like that. A marriage is a commitment, Don't let him treat you like this.

If a man cheats on me well then that is it. it is over and will never have a second chance. he slipped up one time in 14 years. i would give him the second chance but watch him dont get over your head though because that can ruin your relationship with him. let him no how upset you are but you are willing to forgive but not forget and it happens again you are wanting to end it. if that is how you feel.
