My husband was talking to other women and now I want to date other people
I (26F) been with my husband (33M) for 7 years married for 3. He has a drinking problem. He gotten better over the years but its still an issue.
Before we got married we both cheated on each other. I cheated one time and he cheated on me twice. He still reminds me til this day about it, even after we got married.
I been loyal ever since the last time i cheated because i felt horrible about it even though he cheated first. We have two daughters 6 and 4 and the reason we stood together for this long is because of them.
Even after getting married he still continued to talk to other women while i busted my ass at work and he been home with the kids.
The love for him has drained from me little by little every time for all his drinking, his infidelity and now I’m at the point where i want to date other people.
I want to feel that passion again and feel on top of the world, i want to see other people but i feel stuck because he’s the one who watches the kids while i work.
I just feel like i have nothing left to give this marriage and want something more.

- Don’t set yourself on fire to keep him warm.
- This is a toxic situation just divorce and get it over with. You destroyed your marriage. There isn’t anything there. I wish you the best of luck, but I would suggest divorcing and moving on with your life also before you get involved with somebody again get some counseling.
- OP, please just get a divorce. You are doing more damage to your children staying together
