Advice:
I keep thinking she is cheating again

When my wife goes to work, to the gym or out with friends I get so jealous and my mind keeps thinking she is cheating. I found out she was sleeping with a coworker and thought that my fears were behind me once we worked on things. I keep thinking now that she is having sex. I watch what she does, when she leaves and gets home. I look at what she is wearing and my mind keeps thinking she is out fooling around. I have not told her about how these feelings have been eating at me. Will this pass as time goes by or what should I do to reduce this stress?

" hi john,
i think you have to make a decision to let the past go and move forward. i can't imagine how hard it must be to trust that she is faithful now, since she has done it before, but you truly have to decide this on your own.

if you make the decision to let go, than you HAVE to let go, or you will go nuts worrying. its not fair that you are forever paying for her mistake.

i'm sorry that you're in this situation. i worry like that about my boyfriend all the time, although he has never given me reason to, so i know it would be tough to get past my jealousy issues if he had given me reason to distrust.

have you spoken to her about your fears? is she patient and supportive? she needs to be supportive. this is her mistake. if she wants things to be worked out, she can't expect you to just get over it..

anyways, hang in there, and decide whatever is best for you. if you take a look at my group "don't sweat the small stuff in love" there is a really good post on letting things go.

good luck and hang in there "
