Do you sometimes feel that your husband is unfaithful to you?

My friend who is 9 years married now to her husband and they have 6 children already is still thinking and feeling that her husband is unfaithful to her. She keeps to following his husband to the point that she often goes to her husband's office. I don't exactly know the reason why she feels this way. She doesn't feel any sense of security. Are you confident that your husband is not cheating on you?

In a way, yes. I know he won't cheat on me when it comes to other women. But I think he does cheat on me regarding money. I am the one that keeps an eye on our savings since the beginning of our marriage. I like going out one day and buy what we need, but he will go out today and then tomorrow and the next day and so on to buy this and that. I told him we already pay something, but he will pay again. It's strange because he is the bread winner so why can't he pay attention to what he spends? Anyway that's one thing I don't feel secure about him.

Men literally are less concious when it comes to spending. They buy whatever they want without thinking how much it cost but if it's women who buy expensive ones using their money, they immediately raise their eyebrows!

I encouraged her to read magazines and even lent her some of my own magazines which she never returned (hehehe), taught her how to use the internet and even do some gardening but everything are not her interests. But things seem to get worse. She is getting more insecure.

i think just let it be as it is.she will come to her senses later but you keep on re-inforcing how much you love her.

hi dorisday! honestly, never. i have never felt my husband being unfaithful while we were still in a relationship of 7 years and now that we are married. there are a lot of reasons why women are insecure. sometimes it is because trust has been broken. or really that her husband is unfaithful. but sometimes, it is also just the insecurity of the woman. that no matter how much reassurance her husband gives, and no matter how much he tries to prove himself, she is still insecure. i dont know your friend, so i could not make conclusions. but i hope they resolve things before this mistrust becomes detrimental to their marriage. take care and God bless you! have a nice weekend!

First of all, I wanna say congratulations for having a husband who makes you so secure and who never has been unfaithful to you. . . I truly believe that a woman's insecurity pushes the man to be unfaithful. Men don't want to be "neck-tied" by a woman's insecurity.

No, I do not. The only thing my husband does without his family is go to work and then it is home to us.

I've never felt that before, even though my husband and I were staying far apart from each other before we got married for years. I have trust on him. Perhaps your friend just does not feel any sense of security, or her husband couldn't give her the confidence?

I once talked to her husband, who was my schoolmate in college and a fraternity brod, who said that he gave her all the assurance of being faithful. Still, the wife keeps her insecurities.

that is sad, she ought to stabilize things or it will get crazy. Honestly i do trust my husband because i do not give him reason to cheat on me..i am giving him what he wants and he gives me what i want, i am being a wife, a friend, a sister, a confidant and even a mistress to him so it gets exciting and fun at the sme time..i make sure he is happy and satisfied and vice versa..we do not do things that will make one doubt and of course i also maintain myself so he wont have reasons to cheat on me!

What's a relationship without trust? She might have her reasons, she might have been hurt in the past; but jealousy and mistrust are two things that can really harm a relationship. Can one be sure not to be cheated on? I think not. Your partner might fall in love with someone else, you can never know. But will they take actions? That's the difference between a faithfull partner or a cheating one. And if they do want to take actions with this new person, at least inform you and break up. Now that's hard aswell, but at least they are honest and you can remain in normal contact (especially if they are kids involved). You might want to compare it to religion. Some people say it's proofable, others say not. Those who belief need no proof; they just know. I think in a healthy relationship this works the same way. You need no proof wether or not your husband or wife is cheating, you just know they won't. That's very different from ignorance. It's a bond of trust and love.
