Found my fiance having a LTR with a far younger man recently.
Something about lack of communication etc et al.
I work 70 hrs a week and commute 12-15 hrs a week.
Took 15 years to get a living wage job in my field.
This was about 3 weeks ago.
Walked from home purchase.
She says she cut the boy out.
She wants to work it out.
I've been trying.
Today lost some control of my mind and had a spill over at work.
Not sure how I'm supposed to forgive her.
I'm not perfect. Not even close .
But i didn't step outside the relationship.
I feel soulless.
I've taken up some new things to get some space and it's still not enough.
Cheating sucks.
Don't do it to someone.

Ugh sorry Tankah

I've been in your wife's shoes and, frankly, I'm not sure you should forgive her.

Well, forgive her for your sake, but don't try too hard to work it out.

Your schedule is a relationship killer. I think you know that. But trust is paramount if you still want to try with someone.

If she looked elsewhere, the trust is gone. You're better off moving on.

Thanks.
My schedule is. However one must sacrifice for the other.
I let her come and go as she wanted and only work p/t to finish her first masters.
Then there would be a second masters and eventual doctorate.
Plus bought her a brand new car.

My schedule is reduced through the summer as part of the gig.
She knew this.
Guess somedays communication isn't my strong suite.
However I'm still here trying.
Not sure why though

Sorry to hear this. I'm not sure what I would do if it happened to me. I don't know if I have it in me to forgive. Loyalty is something that as I've gotten older has come to the forefront more in my mind as being something that is really important to me. My SO has to be down with me as the kids say. She has to really be like a second skin to me. I'm afraid that every time I looked at her that I wouldn't be able to not think about it. Maybe, maybe not. I've never been cheated on that I know of at least.

Sorry to hear about your situation. You have some deep soul searching to do. Time does help a little but hearing that right now probably isn't something that you can really hear at this point.

Best of luck to you moving forward.

A fiancee is easier to clear out than a wife. Just sayin'.

Dude, it's like you're working two full-time jobs, when you add up all the hours. Why is that necessary? You say it took you 15 years to find a job that works you to death? Please explain, and help us understand.

That's like no relationship at all. You need togetherness for bonding. Your schedule is almost nothing but work and sleep. Most women wouldn't agree to be with a guy on such a brutal schedule, because it eliminates the possibility of having a real relationship.

Are there any better job options for you?
