First off, I'm a newcomer too. Secondly- I feel almost relieved. Someone else is dealing with something similar! I am 21 and my husband is 20. He does some of the exact same things. He's cheated on me numerous times, left, abandoned me during both my pregnancies, and then comes back for about six months just to turn around and do it all again.
Sometimes I think I'd be better off just severing the relationship altogether. But at the same time, I'm just not ready to give up. It's the good times- those six months or so in between these "episodes" and other women- and my children- that keep me going.
I think we both have come to the right place. Hang in there!
