What kind of marriage am I in?

[Anonymous]

For the past 4 years my husband works in another state 1500 miles away.

He leaves every Sunday to the airport at 12noon. Returns every Thursday at 6 or 7pm. Works from home Friday.

On Friday and/or sat he leaves a few hrs during the day meeting up with friends, has business meet ups and so on 50% of the weekends he's home. We have 2 teenage daughters.

He's an excellent provider and I haven't worked in years. So I never complain. I have a huge stunning new home, new cars. We get along and he acts all loving when home.

I found out he was cheating with a woman that was a beautiful white nurse and now does sex work type expensive happy ending massages! That was a few years ago. My daughters found out but I told them to say nothing. I left it alone to not disrupt our family.

I haven't worked in years nor do I want to work. We are Indian culture is not supposed to be an option. I have thought of but not working for years, my beautiful home life, the family, makes me want to stay. Plus he will have more money from new business's in a few years. Besides the cheating , what kind of marriage is this? Is it normal for a big businessman. I am confused.

Are you in this just because you are not working and still can allow your lifestyle because of your husband?

No this is not normal for a big businessman, this is not normal for anyone...

[AI Opinion]

Navigating the choppy waters of love and relationships, I'd say you're in quite the complex marriage that's somewhat of a mixed bag 👀. On one hand, you've got stability, luxury, and a partner who plays his role as a provider to a T. On the other, there's a hush-hush secret and a sprinkle of betrayal that's swept under the Persian rug. Cheating, especially in the scenario you described, isn't a standard feature of any marriage, big business or not, and it's definitely not the norm, no matter how glossy the exterior may seem.

Your marriage seems to have settled into a pragmatic partnership, where financial security and family image weigh more than emotional intimacy and fidelity. While this arrangement might work for some, the essence of a fulfilling relationship often lies in trust, respect, and mutual affection, not just the material comforts 💔.

It's crucial to ask yourself what you truly desire in a relationship and whether these needs are being met. Remember, love shouldn't have to be a luxury or an option—it's the foundation.
