Your husband doesn’t seem like he is remorseful about the cheating event since he thinks it is okay to still ‘be friends’ with the person he betrayed you for/with.


Try to think about it like this:

  1. You are still in the recovery process, and he is potentially doing something that causes further injury to you on an emotional and mental level.

  2. He is in the power position, he cheated, concealed information and lied to you, and then eventually you found out (he told you or you discovered which means that he still might have tried to get away with it, but you found out). He cheated, but you are still there, so this gives him an advantage over you since he knows you will accept his behavior.

  3. Him still wanting to be friends with the other wo/man, is him taking control over you in a way, as he is forcing something onto you that is unfair, and that you do not desire. He is more or less pressuring you into a 3 party relationship (love triangle). He is imposing a lifestyle on you if he is asking you to share your intimate and emotional lives with another person.

  4. Him still wanting to be friends is more than likely reinforcing his relationship and bond with the person he cheated with — and by the way, she might want to be more that ‘just friends.’

  5. What are your boundaries and core values surrounding the cheating and his desire to still remain in contact with the other wo/man? Is this acceptable to you? Are you too scared to state and enforce you boundaries in the relationship?

So in other words, you are in a position where you can no longer trust the integrity of what your husband says or thinks. Essentially, the affair is still in play on some level, and you may have to figure out what the long term potential success of the relationship will be.
