Husband says I jumped the gun?
The user, a 31-year-old woman, has been married to her 33-year-old husband for 14 years. After discovering that her husband had been cheating for ten years, she took immediate action by selling her wedding ring and consulting with a divorce lawyer.
Her husband reacted with anger, claiming she moved too quickly toward divorce without attempting reconciliation.
This reaction followed two weeks where he gave her the silent treatment, blamed her for discovering the affair by spying, and refused to communicate. The user is now questioning if her decisive actions were pr****ure given the circumstances.
