Cheated on My Husband Praying for Forgiveness: Please pray for my husband and my family ( I have a 5yr old daughter). Pray that God can touch his heart and somehow he can forgive me. I did something bad, I kind of cheated on him.
Not physically but emotionally. I have been in a 'phone' relationship with this guy I used to be close with. The one guy my husband hated the most, they were buddies until he found out this guy liked me and told me his feeling asking me to be with him instead...but I chose my husband.

10yrs later now, he's married and separated for more than 2 yrs. I started recvng messages from him all of a sudden. I ignored until one night I had a huge argument w/ my husband . That night he said something that pushed me over the edge. He said he could find better girl than me and said he was forced into this marriage. I was crushed.

I gave my number to this guy and we started our relationship again, which I know I shouldn't because then my husband and I made up. But yet we continued talking on the phone. He is in the state and I never get a chance to go, but don't know how we sort of promised to be together and I was ready to leave my husband until one day I found out he is back with his wife, didn't say a word to me. I later found out he was playing me all this time,.. we even said we love each other and everything.

I struggled to either tell the truth to my husband or not, I took a leap of faith hoping he'll forgive me. I was afraid he heard it from someone else because this guy's wife found out and even spoke to me on the phone to stop contacting him...

I begged for forgiveness from my husband and realized he is my world and also my daughter how can I live without him, I know it's too late but I realized how much I love him.

I want our family back and will do ANYTHING...to make this work but he refuses to talk me. I'm so hurt. I feel so guilty and stupid. I honestly cant go on w/o him, we've been together since I was 14 and now I'm 30..

Please...I haven't been sleeping for 3dys tried taking sleeping pills. Sometimes I take double..and thought about taking more but the thought of my daughter stopped me. I can't stop crying, begged him to forgive me and promised I will give my all . Do I even deserve forgiveness from him? and even God. Whatever punishment I deserve, I am ready but I want my family back.
Please pray for me and my husband...Thank you

Never give up on God, he never gives up on you

I also hurt my husband. I cheated on him. We separated for 9 months and I continued my affair. Our divorce was final 2 months ago. The last few weeks God lay heavy on my heart that I had to turn from my sin. I not only hurt God I also hurt my husband and our children as well. I broke off the relationship with the other man. I repented and seeked counsel. My heart desires my husband and my family. I never dreamed that the burden I caused could be righted. I turned to god. I learned to receive Gods forgiveness and after time learned to forgive myself. I am reading Love is a choice, The power of a praying wife devotional and Love & Respect. I have received the mercy of God. My (ex)husband is also seeking Gods word and we are working on our relationship...something I thought would never be possible. Dont give up, nothing is impossible with God. Pray and seek counsel. I have a fantastic Christian Counselor that has blessed me with Gods word and guidance to fix me and my relationships. Do not give in to sin. I will pray for you and your family, please pray for me too. God bless.

Hi there. I read your blog. I was in the same boat as you, except my emotional relationship turned physical too and lasted for 5 months. You've taken the hardest step, which is realizing and admitting that what you did was wrong.

First, before your husband can forgive you, you have to forgive yourself and ask God to forgive you. If you can't forgive yourself, then you are going to have a hard time finding the positive energy you need to prove to your husband that you are in it for him, no matter what.

I prayed that God would soften my husband's heart to see that I did love him and that I had made a mistake.

I stood firm on 1st Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4 through 7: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Be patient. Your husband is very hurt. But I can tell you from experience, God is bigger than this and if you will turn to Him your marriage will blossom like mine has!!!!!!

God bless you and I will continue to pray for your family.
