So like I said, I found out Guns has this sick fetish that I could not put up with anymore. I caught him twice before the last time. The first time I caught him, he blamed it on me and because of my insecurities, I believed him. I felt maybe I wasn't doing something right or maybe I let myself go and I'm not the women he fell in love with.
- He did the typical guy thing and denied it at first, turned the script on me, and then swore that it will never happen again because he doesn't want to lose me.
As you can tell, it did happen again...and again he found a way to blame it on me, he made me feel like I was inadequate as a woman and a wife. I got so weak as a person to where I again believed it was my fault. Then he promised again and cried and said he will NEVER...EVER do this again, he doesn't know what's wrong with him and he's soooo happy I caught him because he knew what he was doing was wrong.
So I forgave him but it was hard for me to really trust him. I started to really keep an eye on him. He would get phone calls from his EXs and it would piss me off. His excuse for still talking to them is because they were is best friends before they were his girlfriends so I couldn't ask him to give up those friendships.
- Don't get me wrong people, there is nothing wrong with being friends with the opposite sex, but there is a limitation to your friendship. These ladies didn't have any respect for his marriage, they felt like they were still TOP DOGs when it came to him.
Right before he deployed, I found out he started doing the same thing again. So I put on a fake little smile and continued to be the good little wife of his. <----This is the reason I had his password to his email account, IM, and voicemail (even though he has tried to change it on me several times) because of shit like this! When he left, it was something that was eating at me, so I waited a week after he deployed to tell him that I was filing for a Legal Separation.
- Now if you really want someone to know that you mean business you have to be willing to do things that will have major consequences. I knew the legal separation would hit home for him, I always threaten to level him but this was on paper. It validated it.
Anyways, he finally calls me and I started telling him that I love him with all my heart, and then I told him that I was filing for legal separation, that I know he started to do the things he did before and I will be DAMNED if I allowed him to make me feel like it was my fault again. I told him that I was done with everything and that I hope that it was all worth losing me.
- Of course he started to freak out, asking me why am I doing this to him, why did I wait until he got to Iraq to tell him that....blah blah blah.
Then the denying came...and he tried to flip it on me, but I stood my ground. I told him, he's making things worse on himself by doing so because I have evidence. I told him that I had nothing else to say and if he wants to save what's left of this marriage he needed to get help. At first he said he didn't need help, so I told him then he didn't need me. I said that I put up with a lot of sh** in our relationship and I will not put up with it anymore. I can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth and I am tired of the lies. So I got off the phone with him.
- The worse thing you can ever do to a man his drop a bombshell like that on him and he can't do anything about it but wallow in it. I knew that because he was in Iraq all it could do was eat at him, I wanted him to see what he was losing and that's exactly what he was doing.
Everything started to go the way I wanted it to go, he pleading with me, he cried, he apologized, he was losing his mind....he wanted to know what he could do to save his marriage, for me not to leave him. I told him, the only way I would not file the papers if he goes by a few stipulations. He had to go to counseling for his fetish, we had to go to marriage counseling together, all communications between his EXs stops, and he had to go to church with me EVERY Sunday. He hesitated at first and then he agreed. I told him, I don't trust him and that I will need proof before I could ever let him back in.
Since that conversation, he has sent me emails telling me how much he loves me, that he will give me the world, and that he will do everything I asked and he will prove to me that he can be the man he use to be. I told him that's fine but if there is ONE slip up, then the papers are signed and I am gone. My bags will always be packed.
Stay tune for more updates on Guns and I....
Until then
