Anyways, hope all of you are having a pleasant day. Feels good to try and see if I can find friends online.

Mabuhay jhoiz you'll be able to make friends here very easy, see you already have 2 me (ricky) and gingx2 take care and god bless.

[jhoiz]

Thanks Ricky & Gingx2! I'm really glad to meet you two. I'm here cuz I have questions I'm looking for answers that I hope people here could help me out. If you'd be kind enough to please hear me out and reply to my questions then you'd be helping me big time.

I posted a question but no one seem to reply. I'm not being pessimistic,just being realistic.

My husband works on a cruise ship. Works for 5 months, on vacation for a month then works again for another 5 months. The thing is, my husband admitted to me that he cheated on me. That was when he was drunk. Next day, when he was sobber he told me he lied about cheating and said he always behaved really good. I read a message on his phone which he sent to his cabin mate saying: "Don't rush coming back in the room cuz I'm busy".

Like I said in the other post, we're still together but he's back on the ship and I can't just ignore his confession. I'm worried sick especially for my daughter. I only want the best for her. That's why I'm asking you guys out there...talk to me please. What shall I do?

Hi jhoiz,welcome to the forum.

[jhoiz]

I'm thankful I found this site. Knew this will be of big help to me. The situation is the kind that I'm not ready to talk about to people I'm close to but I know I need to talk to someone otherwise I will only be punishing myself keeping everything to myself. I do hope everything will be fine. I guess life in deed is full of surprises, can be good but can also be not so good.

Thanks again guys. And to Ricky & Ging, I am in the Phils..

[jhoiz]

Oh and guys, if you do know anything about joint physical custody please let me know cuz I honestly have no idea at all what to do. I only want to be educated.

Thanks again everyone and God bless you all for being such a blessing to others.

[charlwill]

.........joint physical custody please let me know cuz I honestly have no idea at all what to do. I only want to be educated.

Thanks again everyone and God bless you all for being such a blessing to others.

Both have the same legal rights of custody and control of the child.

They cheat once, they do it again in the majority of cases.

I keep telling my kids they are only here because I was drunk!

[jhoiz]

They cheat once, they do it again in the majority of cases.

Very true.

too bad but its true..

hi jhoiz & weLcome

Part I:

Do you ever notice all the women give polite answers, while the guys are straight to the point...and then the women agree?

The thing is, my husband admitted to me that he cheated on me. That was when he was drunk. Next day, when he was sobber he told me he lied about cheating and said he always behaved really good.

Unless he's had a sex change in his past, here is what happens with guys.

We get drunk for two reasons only, to have fun, or because we have a real bad problem.

Being drunk may mean we 'forget' (most times conveniently ) about things we did or said the following day. All guys have been there, done that.

But when we are drunk for the reason of having a problem, the alcohol reaches a point where our emotions come out, and you start blurting out the problem to anyone who is listening.

Alcohol and emotions for a guy very rarely lead to saying something that is a blantant lie, and will knowingly cause extreme distress to someone you love, unless they are a complete retard.

Are you getting the picture?

[KeithD]

Part II:

Now taking the above post into account, and being a little bit of a gambler , I wouldn't even offer odds on the fact he's been sticking his wick in another sea of damp passion...

The question now is 'Do you ignore what he said and carry on?'.

Women will say, "It only happened once, he won't do it again, forgive him, do what the Lord says'.....

Where as a guy would say "He's only told you about ONE, what about all the others, and those to cum (spelling!!!) on the next cruise"

You only live once, plenty of trusting men out there, just read through this forum. This guy wants to share his load, and safe in the knowledge he has a submissive wife back home he can rely on.

[gracia143]

I'm with you on that Keith, especially when the liqour has got some truth serum on it...anyway Jhoiz i smell something fishy about the text message he sent to his mate. Don't play the deaf ear here but don't nag as nagging won't help. Try diplomacy or worst yet use something less blunt like (censored). But seriously, I really wish I could help you...pls keep safe and take care.

Hi Jhoiz welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your problem.

[joebloggs]

i know you dont drink scouser keith, so why are your kids really here

must have been a bet .. did you see the guy in the news papers a while ago , who had breast implants for a bet, the thing is he won the bet, but didn't get them removed

[jhoiz]

I am really upset but I don't plan on being depressed reason why I have to go online to look for someone or people to talk to. Cuz I know that in a forum like this, I'll feel better and I am now so I sincerely thank you all so much.

Didn't fancy telling the whole story but what the heck, here it goes. I'm warning you though, don't be sorry cuz its your fault and I'm a big girl, I'll alright.

I worked in England and I was working with him. Like the usual, we became friends at first then felt love and then got really serious til we decided to live together. He never kept secret from me so I knew from the start that he's got a debt problem. He was skint all the time and I even helped him pay his overdraft. Anyways, after a couple of years I got pregnant. Gave birth in England then we decided to come to the Philippines cuz it is cheaper to live here. We got married here and wanted to settle down here. But we can't find him a good paying job so he decided to work on the cruise ship. I disagree but at that time we didn't have a choice, he's got to work. Everything was ok at first til he went on vacation. It was our wedding anniversary. He got drunk then confessed. He said he was sorry and asked me not to leave him. Then you know what happened next. I am not stupid and it's sad cuz I gave up a lot for him. But life goes on and I need to be strong our daughter.

I meant to say: It's NOT your fault and I'm a big girl, I will be alright...

[silver13]

You both need serious talking, maybe give him another chance? if things get worse then there are still plenty of good and available men out there or here as the admin said, they didn't care the hassle.

Hello jhoiz, welcome to the forum.

Kick that guys' backside, and concentrate with your daughter. I'm sure you have families around you who can help you.
If I was in your shoes I would be soooooooooooooooo grateful that he has admitted what he has done so I can get on with my life.
Don't waste your time with him, you have a child to care for.

Thanks kentish for the welcome. I didn't marry him for money or visa. What I felt and feel for him is real and strong that's why I'm hurting...Right now I am at the stage where I am putting a lot of things into consideration..and all your comments here is helping me.

I would tell him to face his responsabilities back home.

To leave the cruise ship, return to England with you and the baby, find a job, pay his debts, and re-start from scratch.

Having worked on cruise ships for a number of years I know only too well about the temptations and the risks involved.
But also I know about the loneliness, the hard work, the cheap drink and the peer pressure. Not an easy life.

Keith is right, if he cheated once, he will most probably do it again, unless you are together. Hence my suggestion for the both of you to return to the Uk.

[jhoiz]

Problem is a bit more complicated than what it already is if we decide to go back to England because my visa was 4 months expired when I left UK. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go back to UK anymore actually but I'm not bothered for as long as my daughter have what she deserves.
