He has been cheating for six years? Why would you want to stay in that relationship? A relationship is built on trust, love and communication.

If he is treating you this way, then its time to get out. You dont have to have him walk all over you. I understand that there could be reasons why you are still in the marraige, kids- or other reasons. But it sounds like its an ongoing thing.

What you did was just as bad as him- But I dont think its something to beat yourself up about. Tell him. Show him that you are the one in the relationship who will feel guilty and come clean. Two wrongs dont make a right, but I can see why you went outside the marraige since he has been doing this to you for such a long time.

Think about it this way. If he can cheat for so long and not feel as guilty as you feel about what you did, is he really commited to your marraige?

You deserve to be treated right, dispite the mistakes you made. Stand up for what you deserve.

I can't imagine why you would feel guilty. If this guy sleeps with other people, who can't you?

It sounds like you two should sit down and talk about what you want. Do you want to stay together? If you do, then is it for the right reasons? Do you want to be committed to each other or do you want to have an open relationship?

Couples counseling might help you two figure things out.
