infidelity

by Missy
(PA)

I have been married for two months shy of two years. My husband no longer finds me attractive and says he no longer respects me. This morning I heard his phone beep, indicating a message, and he left extremely early for work. I think he may be cheating on me. He doesn't want me to wear my glasses (he thinks I look bad in them, can't stand how I look in them). When we first started dating he said they made me look like a sexy secretary. He doesn't like my hair down, for same reason. But, when I asked him how I should get my hair done when we were dating, he said he liked (then he described my hair the way it was when we first met. Now, he can't stand it like that!!! I have lost 40lbs. and kept it off since we started dating. I have also allowed him to rule me. When we first met I was very independant and was a manager for a national retail chain.

Response to "infidelity"
by: Lee Baucom

Missy, this has got to be a frightening time for you! You have placed your identity and your meaning into this relationship, and then you are feeling him pull away. I don't know whether your husband is committing adultery, but you do note an all-too-familiar pattern.

In marriage, we fall in love with someone, and they fall in love with us, then we change the person they fell in love with. You were independent and knew your life. Over time, it sounds like you have come to rely on him and his opinions more and more. Unfortunately, that sounds like it changed his respect for you.

My advice: take a long look in the mirror and decide what you have changed and shouldn't. Begin working on yourself. Become more of the person God wants you to be. Find out what purpose God has for your life, and pursue it.

In the meantime, you may want to look at two patterns I identify in my book, "over/underfunctioning" and "controlled/controlling." You will see how quickly they can destroy a marriage.

Blessings to you.
