HE’S BLAMING ME FOR HIS AFFAIR

-

Q

I’ve recently found out my husband has been having an affair. It started at work, and I only found out as he sent her a naked picture that I saw on his phone. What upsets me is he’s blaming me for it. He says it’s my fault as I am too involved with the kids. When I shouted him down about it, he said it was his friends’ fault

for encouragin­g him. I can’t see why he won’t take responsibi­lity if he wants us to be together? A

The reason why he can’t bring himself to be accountabl­e comes down to him trying to justify his behaviour to himself. It’s easier to blame others. It could break your marriage if he doesn’t acknowledg­e the pain he has caused you. Be honest with him about what you need to hear if he does want you to stay together.
