I was in a relationship with a partner who not only cheated and gave me an STD while pregnant, but severely beat me during our relationship and even while I was pregnant. Him giving me an STD showed he didn’t care about me or the baby, but him beating me while I was a pregnant was a sign that he had the power to end our lives at any moment and he didn’t care.

@@jc_80 ...Often money can be used as a weapon to control (Financial abuse) and other forms of manipulation may be implemented to maintain the "Dominant role" in the home. I would strongly agree that the woman should have a career to fall back on or have the option to work part time or telecommute, in order to remain current in the workforce. Also, in my opinion, there should be three separate bank accounts: the husband's, the wife's, in addition to, a joint account for bills which effect both individual's (Mortgage, utilities, taxes, etc). The couple should create a financial plan / calculation toward expenses. For example, if the husband has a higher salary, then perhaps he pays 65% of the bills and the wife pays 35%, which is transferred from each account to the joint account. So, the husband and the wife have their own money and there is little co- mingling of funds except for the necessary bills to run a household.

This girl has a Rock Solid Divorce Case. No judge or jury would deny her whatever she wants.

[@cbtam4333]

The courts can’t/won’t help if the husband doesn’t have enough assets or income. To leave the marriage and still survive, she needs a steady source of income of several thousand dollars a month for living expenses, plus enough time during the day to take care of 3 babies. Unless they have a McMansion with lots of equity to split and/or he’s wealthy or a high earner, there is no way any child support check or even any temporary alimony is going to support her and 3 babies under age 3 or even pay just for the skyrocketing cost of childcare for a newborn and 2 toddlers so that she can work. If she tries to end the marriage, she is in danger of homelessness, pure and simple. That, more than forgiveness, is the reality that’s not being spelled out when Dr. John stops short of urging her to kick him to the curb. Hard lessons to learn for all women who want to get married and have children-first have/earn/build up a substantial nest egg and invest it and put it in a separate trust, and then get a prenup from a reputable family law attorney in your state with lots of prenup experience-all BEFORE getting married. If you cannot afford to do this, then you cannot afford marriage and children. I hate to say this and no one wants to hear it, but that’s reality.

[@MsDorcelus]

I told my husband when this happened to this woman and he went white as a ghost bc I was pregnant at the time also and he was cheating on me with my best friend. Men who cheat when their wives are pregnant (and do so with unprotected sex) should have a special place in hell.

I am a nurse and I nagged her until she went to the doctor. Her Pap smear showed some early dysplastic changes, which progressed to more serious changes, and she had a hysterectomy. She tested positive for the most serious strain of HPV (they did DNA testing on it). She still goes in for a yearly checkup--so far, she's OK.

I was in this exact situation (other than the std and the way I found out about the cheating) during my second pregnancy. I came from a broken family and tried to stick it out for my kids but I became miserable due to the constant fighting. I’ve always been very trusting in the relationships I’ve had but after the cheating I ended up being paranoid about everything. When I realized I wasn’t “me” anymore and saw how the fighting was having an affect on my kids I ended the relationship. As much as I wanted to keep my family together, I didn’t want my children growing up thinking that’s what a family looks like, because it doesn’t. I truly hope he told her about the cheating because he was remorseful and not simply because of the std. I honestly believe once someone cheats on a person they will do it again. That happened to me and I felt so stupid for even trying again. I hope she heals from this and doesn’t lose herself while trying to start over with her husband... this whole situation is just so sad.
