Husband tried to kill himself after he found out I cheated. help please?

Break Up & Divorce
i cheated on my husband only once. and i hated my self for so long. i betrayed him and i betrayed our two children. after i cheated i grew very possesive and jealous of my husband. i kept saying that he was cheating on me and i blamed him for random things. i just felt that because i cheated on him. that he was going to cheat on me. i love my husband with all my heart and soul and will never cheat on him again. he gave me all his love and trust and i threw it all away. a week ago he found out that i cheated because the other guy came to our house and was looking for me. my husband went crazy and beat the other guy to the point blood was all over the place. the the other man left. me and my husband had a fight and i just kept putting the blame on him. he called me a whore. then our kids came out to calm us down. our son is fifteen and our girl is seventeen. my husband just broke down and started crying. i never seen him cry before and it tore me apart knowing i was the one who hurt him. i tried to say that i was sorry but he just went into our room and got his gun. he put it to his head and tried to kill himself. luckily me and our kids were able to get the gun away from him and called the police. now he is on suicide watch. now my kids hate me and my husband just sits there and stares at the wall. he doesn't cry or talk or anything. he shows no emotion. like he is in a coma or something. how do i get him and our kids to love and trust me again? please help.

  • Let me answer in a way which doesn't assume this post is real.

    This is why cheating is dangerous and why you never, ever confess to it, or cheat with someone who would actually show up at your house, Fatal Attraction-style.

    Cheating is a dealbreaker. Are there couples who get through it? No, I don't think so, not really. Bill and Hillary are still together but theirs is not a true marriage in any sense of which I'm aware. Kids are different and can come to understand, over time, why someone would cheat in a failed/failing marriage.

    If you're real, best advice is to get professional counseling, and to think seriously about exactly why you cheated, and what good it would do to stay married to this man.

    • The problem wasn't my husband. It was me and yes I want to stay with the man I love. We were going through a hard time and this man told me I should tell him what's wrong. Looking back my husband warned me that this is what men do. The other man listened to my problems and then he took advantage of me. I know its all my fault. I felt stressed and wanted to escape.

    • @tenchu11 you think so? I'd hate her if I was her kids. She's the reason for their broken family now. And yes, she does deserve to die. Not only did she emotionally hurt her husband forever she also physically hurt him... Same with her kids.
      She doesn't deserve a family. She doesn't deserve life.

  • Why don't you two and your children, go get some professional help, instead of coming on this site. The emotional trauma that you've both caused your children after this is very selfish also and the least you can do, is get them some help. A lot of places offer low cost or even free counselling, that's something you should really look into.

    • I've decided to just let them go. my husband finally spoke to me and wanted a divorce so thats what I'm giving him. I just hope that someday my children will forgive me and want me in their lives still. and I really hope that my husband forgives me even if he still hates me.

    • If he did commit suicide she should be held responsible because it is her fault for betraying him and she should acknowledge and pay for what she did. Look your not a bad person but you should be ashamed and guilty of what you did to that poor guy.
      Even if you divorce, it does not exactly mean that you can't love him. If you really do love him, you would be there for him as a faithful and grateful person and never let him go

    • Although he wanted a Divorce, did you want the divorce and do you still see your lover?

  • You knew full well what you were doing. You took the biggest gamble of your life and lost. Lost big time!! I think you have blown it completely. If it were me in his shoes, I'd leave you without a word of explanation, and NO going back, ever. You have also lost the love and respect of your children!!

    I think you deserve everything you get!! What you have done is UNFORGIVEABLE!!

    • I know. that's why I've decided to let my husband divorce me. I don't deserve a man as good as him. I just hope he can forgive me at some point. even if it means he'll never love me again.

  • Yes... you are a terrible, terrible person. "How do I get him and our kids to love and trust me again?" You don't. They may forgive, but they'll never forget. You can't retake a test you were caught cheating on. It's a 0, end of story.

    • I really don't get the whole : ''I cheated on my significant other, but I still love him eventhough I hurt him in a horrible way'' ; w ;

  • It sounds like he really valued the bond you two had and when you cheated you disrespected that bond in probably the worst possible. I'm really curious why you cheated.

    "how do i get him and our kids to love and trust me again? please help" I would stop blaming him for why you did that and be earnest with him. I hope this doesn't happen to me by someone I extremely care about... I would leave you. I really think you deserve prison time. It's disgusting.

    • For the past week I've spent all my time sitting next to my husband. I keep telling him that I'm sorry and how much I love him and want him and that the other guy meant nothing and that it was only one time. He hasn't said a word. Our kids are staying at his parents for now and come to visit him after school. Except his mom and dad make me leave the room when they come to visit him. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

  • I'm gonna be really methodical answering your question and just say that if you're being genuine? This really isn't something you should be asking a bunch of strangers on GaG who have a 2500 character limit to work with. This is a serious interpersonal problem that you need to work out with some kind of professional, NOT a bunch of teenagers and 20 somethings who admittedly, don't have the best perspective on the subject (I certainly know I don't).

    Hopefully you can sort this out either way, though. What you did was unforgivable, but at least you realise it and I hope you and him can get past it.

  • You do not "love" someone if you cheat on them... First off, you need to acknowledge you are now scum... Worse than garbage.

    Secondly you are even worse then scum for blaming him for your actions...

    Thirdly, quit making fucking excuses. It's pathetic. You're pathetic... Accept it.

    Offer him the option of Anullment or Devorce AND YOU WILL NOT TAKE A SINGLE DOLLAR OF HIS.
