My wife cheated and had a child with someone else, yet the judge forced me to attend counseling...

welcome to the cheating Secrets Channel your honor my client does not wish to divorce and requests the court to order counseling she believes the marriage is strong enough to survive this Misfortune with some help this was her lawyer speaking the lawyer of my soon Tobe ex-wife Julie my lawyer stood up your honor a 12-month affair with multiple men resulting in the birth of a child can hardly be called a misfortune especially when a DNA test proves that the said child does not belong to my client we see no benefit in continuing this charade of a

marriage any further counseling will not change anything it is precisely because of the child that I am inclined to order counseling the judge said the child needs a stable home to grow up in if you expect me to raise this cheating adulteress as child I said loudly my lawyer winced the judge slammed the gavel forcefully one more word and I will hold you in contemp of Court he shouted at me I'm ordering a month of counseling with two sessions per week otherwise he glared at me for a moment then slammed the gavl again that's all

Julie my soon to be ex-wife looked smug when I walked into the counselor's office I'm Dr Sullivan but you can call me Gerald may I call you Brian he smiled at me no you may not you can address me as Mr Stedman Brian that's not necessary Julie began and you cheeter can refrain from addressing me at all I snapped at her I think we need to calm down please Mr stemman have a seat he pointed to one of the chairs in front of his desk I dragged the chair a good six feet away from the

one Julie was sitting in and plop down into it Gerald sighed all right then he began I didn't hear anything else because I pulled out my earbuds put them in and started listening to music on my phone Gerald just stared at me then started talking to Julie I couldn't hear what he was saying I just kept fiddling with my phone listening to music about 15 minutes later I saw Julie stand up she gave me a fierce look and walked out of the office I took out my earbuds well doctor good session see you on Thursday

I'm canceling our sessions and sending my report to the judge even better the judge was not pleased give me one good reason why I shouldn't hold your client in contempt of court he growled at my lawyer your honor you ordered my client to attend the sessions he attended the first session as ordered it was the counselor who canel the remaining sessions the counselor's report clearly states that he made no attempt to participate in the session he put on headphones and ignored everyone won the entire time you ordered him to be present my lawyer responded he

was present given that the counselor deemed continuing the sessions pointless I would like to request that you grant permission for the divorce as per the petition not in this lifetime I'm ordering four more weeks of counseling Mr stemman will be present and he will participate the office was arranged exactly the same as the first time two chairs about a foot apart were set up in front of the table the counselor sat at the empty table except for a yellow notepad and a photo of an attractive woman who I guessed was around 35 and a child

who looked about 6 years old Mr Stedman he said please have a seat I started to move the chair again Julie reached out to stop me and I stepped back I'm informing both of you that any physical contact will be interpreted as an assault on my person and will be met with an appropriate response I said Julie gasped and backed away I returned to moving the chair and then sat down in it I took out my phone again Mr Stedman the judge ordered you to participate in the session I know I'm using my phone to

record the session to prove my participation my lawyer says it's well known that some counselors have their own agendas since my soon to be ex-wife has already been seeing you for some time I feel that you may have already developed a relationship with her that could work against me and what if I object to recording the sessions the counselor asked then I'll go back to court and request a different counselor that's an option too the only reason I haven't done that yet is because it would cause even more delays Julie how do you feel about

the sessions being recorded he asked looking at her it doesn't matter she said waving her hand can we just start all right then Gerald said what I'd like to do first before we begin I interrupted may I ask a question of course he said you can ask questions at any time I may ask you to hold off on questions during certain moments of the process but right now go ahead he added with an encouraging smile have you already slept with her Julie gasped but Gerald didn't seem bothered no Julie and I have not had and

will not have any sexual contact he said calmly that would be inappropriate even if I weren't already happily married does that answer your question I nodded I believed him he must be one of the few men Julie has met in the past year who hasn't slept with her then all right as I was saying what I'd like to do first is establish our expectations since I've already had several conversations with Julie I'd like her to outline what she hopes to achieve in these sessions and what her desired outcome would be I'd ask you while she's

speaking to refrain from comments and questions until she's finished once Julie has told us what she hopes to accomplish I'll ask you to do the same I refrained from commenting I didn't look at Julie when she started speaking first of all Brian she began don't talk to me I growled talk to me Julie Gerald said tell me what you'd like Mr stemman to hear I want him to hear how sorry I am for the pain I've caused him I know I did the wrong thing but he was spending so much time away on his business

trips and I was lonely I understand how much I hurt him and if I could go back and change the past I would give anything to do that I love him more than anything in the world I know we can get through this if he would just give me a chance I would show him that I can be the best wife of man could ever dream of we could raise our child together and give him a Wonderful Life maybe even a brother or sister I want us to be together I know we can do this

I know we can make it through Gerald smiled at Julie all right thank you Julie now Mr Stedman what would you like to say I glared at him I would love to see a festering adulteress contract a rare and incurable 3 PPP and die a slow and agonizing death Julie burst into tears and ran out of the room that didn't help Gerald remarked I'm not here to help you that adulterer spent a whole year sleeping with half the men in town got pregnant and tried to pass the child off his mind if I hadn't already

suspected something and requested a DNA test I'd still be paying child support for someone else's kid tell me Doc how exactly am I supposed to feel your anger is natural but you need to look beyond the anger at what you once had do you even know what the hell you're talking about I snapped have you ever had the love of your life the person you trusted with your heart and soul someone you were literally willing to die for and that person betrayed you so badly that you started doubting your own sanity when I found out

what was happening I wanted to die I seriously considered ending my life how can someone who claims to love you cause you so much pain that you're driven to thoughts of suicide and did you also notice that she never once apologized for what she did for sleeping with all those men for lying over and over for getting pregnant and not even being able to figure out who the damn father was the only thing that's certain is that it wasn't me the one person who was supposed to give her a child so since you have no

idea what it's like to be in my position don't sit there with your sanctimonious damn smile and your textbook knowledge telling me I should let go of my anger right now my anger is all I have just let me get this adulteress out of my life and try to rebuild something from the shattered pieces she left me I hope this counts as participation I growled at him as I walked out of the office when I got home I decided to prepare a bit for the next session maybe I could prove my point I asked Julie

to allow us to have this session without her Gerald said when I walked into his office the following week I feel we might make more progress individually at first as long as this still counts as court-mandated counseling I'm more than happy not to be in the same room with that woman I sat down placing the A4 envelope I was holding on my lap can we try to refrain from name calling please it's unproductive and just gets in the way I don't want to be productive I just want to get through these sessions and get this

adulteress out of my life for good I never wanted these sessions she's just determined to cause me as much pain as possible she doesn't want a divorce because the prenuptual agreement leaves her with nothing so she's trying to force me to take her back that's not going to happen and what about the child he innocent surely he shouldn't be punished for he's not my problem and not my responsibility by your logic I should take in every stray who couldn't keep her legs closed and got pregnant those children have nothing to do with me and this

child doesn't either why are you so certain that there's only one outcome you obviously loved her very much that kind of feeling doesn't just disappear overnight your anger is masking it right now but once it subsides and Trust trust me it will you'll find there are still feelings you can build on feelings you can use to rebuild your relationship maybe even make it stronger that smile returned again I wanted to punch him it was time to give him a taste of his own medicine I pointed to the photograph on his desk you have a nice

family been married long we're not here to discuss my 11 years if my sources are correct childhood sweetheart married right after college waited to have kids and then little Ethan came along how old is he now N9 this photo must have been taken a couple of years ago how do you he started to say but did you know that dear Cheryl has her own Secrets do you happen to know that when she says she's at Pilates class on Wednesday afternoons while you're at work she's actually at the motel 8 on Patterson sleeping with her personal

trainer that's absolutely ridiculous he stammered but I could see he wasn't sure he had gone very pale really I said pulling a few photographs out of the envelope I placed them on his desk one by one they showed a pretty Slender Woman entering a hotel room with a young muscular man he had his arm around her waist and they were looking at each other lovingly I pulled out a DVD and placed it on his desk as well there's also a video recording from inside the room if you need real proof of what they're doing it's

pretty explicit so if I were you I wouldn't watch it I made that mistake when I got the private investigators report those images will haunt me for the rest of my life he looked like he was about to be sick oh and one more thing Ethan no he said quietly please God you know I pulled a DNA report out of the envelope it seems the fitness instructor isn't the first I think he's too young to be Ethan's father but whoever the father is it's not you I said quietly he stood up and ran to what

I assumed was the bathroom adjoining his office I heard him wretching loudly into the toilet now do you understand I asked him when he sank back into his chair tears streaming down his face he looked at me with lifeless eyes now you see the pain she caused me and why I have to get her out of my life he nodded weakly good there's one more thing you need to know he looked at me with fear there's more he asked plaintively it's all fake none of what I just showed you is real as far as I

know your wife is as loving and faithful as you believe her to be and Ethan is your son but the photograph Photoshop it's amazing what you can do with a few social media posts and a bit of time and effort I replied grimly if you had asked anyone even remotely competent to examine the photos they would have told you they were all fake I pulled a few more photos out of the envelope but to prove it here are the originals from which I made them his face began to flush and I wondered if he was

about to attack me and the DVD he asked blank disc the DNA report it's actually the DNA report for the child of my soon to be ex-wife the cheater I just changed the names and dates he sat there for few minutes stunned as fresh tears ran down his face why would you do this what could you possibly hope to achieve by destroying my marriage and my life that was never my intention that's why I told you almost immediately that it was all fake I never wanted to cause you or your family any irreparable harm I

just wanted you to truly understand for once the pain I went through the feelings of loss anger and betrayal you only experienced it for a few minutes I'm still living it your brief suffering is my life now and in the future forcing me to sit here with that adulteress listening to her spew her nonsense about how she loves me and wants me back just means I have to keep reliving the pain over and over there are laws against cruel and unusual punishment why aren't they applied in this case I just want to move on try

to pick up the little I have left and continue with my life why can't you when the courts let me do that I gathered all the papers from the desk and put them back in the envelope I'm truly sorry I had to do this but I needed you to understand I walked out of his office your honor I have the report from the court ordered counseling sessions that my client was instructed to attend my lawyer addressed the judge once more I have a copy the judge growled it appears that the counselor feels even after only

three out of eight sessions that this marriage cannot be saved and that for the well-being of all parties involved including the child the best course of action would be to Grant the dissolution yes your honor I request that you order the dissolution of the marriage as per the petition the judge looked at me for a long time I stared Straight Ahead unwilling to meet his gaze granted he finally said striking his gavel thank you for listening Until the End see you in the next episode of cheating Secrets take care of yourself and your loved ones

goodbye
