Hello,
My name is Maria, I am 53 years old, I have been married for 32 years to my husband, and I have two daughters who no longer live with us.
For 15 years, my relationship with my husband was beautiful, of course with small problems, like in any family. In 1995, due to a bank loan, we lost the apartment we were living in. With two small children, we had to move in with my parents. Three years later, my husband went to France, and then I followed, leaving the girls with my parents. We both worked for two years and managed to buy a house.
The house we bought was far from my parents, and I had to leave my husband alone in France while I stayed with the girls in Romania. During this time, we talked on the phone and saw each other every few months.
During this time, a woman entered my husband’s life, someone who turned him into a man who could no longer control himself. He spoke harshly even to the girls, and he didn’t want us to visit him. For me and for my youngest daughter (who still loves my husband very much), it was a shock. I fell into a deep depression, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, my life was a dream from which I couldn’t wake up.
Years passed, I found a job, and little by little, I began to forget what I had been through. One day, my husband lost his job, ran out of money, and asked the girls to let him come home.
We welcomed him back, I forgave him, but he continued to cheat on me. I found out every time because he didn’t know how to hide the extramarital affairs he had.
Then he settled down for a few years until he went to Africa, where of course he found a 24-year-old woman, younger than his daughters. Now he works in France, comes home monthly, but has another mistress who is 20 years younger than him. Even though I found out, he denies having this relationship.
Please, tell me what to do?
