Coleen Nolan advises a reader whose husband has cheated on her not just once, but twice, and he’s now pestering for a reconcilation after she told him she wants to end the marriage
Dear Coleen,
My husband cheated on me in 2018 when our daughter was only a few months old. I forgave him, after a lot of soul searching, as he was full of remorse and said he’d struggled with the stress of being a new parent.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt, although I was badly hurt by what happened. Things were OK for a while, but then after the lockdowns, he started staying at work late, drinking with his friends a lot and wasn’t around much for me and my daughter.
Then last month, I found out he’d cheated again. I overheard him talking to a woman on his mobile in our garden shed when he thought I was in the shower. They were arranging to meet up and saying they’d missed each other. It felt like a punch in the guts.
