Facebook

My husband keeps friending and looking at young women on Facebook. He is 53 and has cheated before. I explained how I feel And he continues. He said there is nothing wrong with it he is just looming for friends. I don't believe him and considering ending our 25 year marriage. Advice please

Facebook and "looming" old friends was almost the demise of my marriage.  Probably not a whole bunch of good will come from this "looming".

You said he's cheated before.... I am a firm believer that people can change, but there has to be obvious changes.  His behavior has to change completely and sneaking around is not a real reassuring thing to be doing.

I agree with the comment regarding facebook.  Dangerous and needless.  Ugh for sure!!

If he is unwiling to appease you by ridding his life of things like facebook, he shows you his commitment this way and it is neglitable.

People have committed murder over Facebook interactions,it happened here not to long ago in Australia.It has the potential to be an extremely dangerous network,there was a lady on here not to long ago that broke up 3 marriages because she was spreading lies about the men to family members.It could open up a hornets nest and end up in disaster.

I have seen so many relationships end because of facebook.  Ug!  So irritating that a really cool connection site can cause problems.  I guess it just made it easier for a wondering person to wonder.  Not saying by any means it is facebook to blame.  The person doing the wondering has a choice.  My mom made my father make a choice, her or the facebook friend.  Thank goodness he chose her.  I told her if he didn't to get out of the marriage.  She shed many tears over this and it was a really hard time for them.  You have to make a plan (make sure you will be ok) and then put your foot down.  Just make sure to take care of you first.  My mom did talk with an attorney first and had many pages of printed conversations.  I wish you the best in what ever you decide.  I am so sorry you are having to go through all of this.

I am always one for saying try and keep the relationship together and seek therapy,but this is like trying to flog a dead horse.The writings on the wall,a leopard never changes it's spots,it's over red rover.This is one relationship that will never work because there is no TRUST.The shows over.It's a done deal.Leave him.All the best.

With a history of cheating and now he is doing this.....hmmmm........as the above poster stated "goodbye" would too be my answer to this.  

As long as he doesn't see anything wrong there is no problem.  

Just curious, did he get any therapy after he cheated?

This situation is like putting children in a candy store or an alcoholic in a liquor store.

Goodbye, jerk of a husband, is my advice.  Why stay with a cheater?  He's not even trying.
