Dear Steve and Shirley,
I'm separated from my husband because he cheated on me, and the girl he was dating had a miscarriage. He left me and his son to be there for her while she was grieving. Yes, it was his baby. I decided to move on too, and I've been with my new boyfriend for two months.
My husband never expected me to get a boyfriend, and he was shocked when our 11-year-old son told him that he's met mommy's boyfriend, and he's really tall and has a basketball court in his backyard. My husband did not like it one bit. He told me that my side piece is off-limits to our son, and I had to remind him that his side piece almost had a baby by him, so he can't tell me what to do.
I knew he was mad, but I didn't expect him to go online and dig up dirt on my boyfriend. He texted me a bunch of junk about my boyfriend's messy divorce and pics of him with his ex-wife. I told him he was out of line and he needs to worry about his own relationship.
The next night, my son had a sleepover with his cousin, and I stayed over at my boyfriend's house. Around midnight, my husband pulled up to my boyfriend's house and was laying on his horn. We went outside in our pajamas, and my husband tried to fight my boyfriend. My boyfriend laughed and told me to go inside. I couldn't see what happened, but he came in with a scratch on his neck and told me that can't ever happen again. In other words, he will leave me alone if my husband keeps bugging out.
My husband has been calling me and begging to talk, but is it because he's jealous? Do I hear him out or divorce him?
