What is the name of your state?
My husband cheated on me and did it in a manner where I would be forced to know about it. He made no effort to hide it and neither did his girlfriend.
I scratched her face a little when I learned about it. There were no charges pressed because the D.A. and the 'system' saw it for what it was, the act of a bitter, hurt, scorned wife.
They broke it off (or so he said) and they stopped seeing each other for a while.
Then I found them recently, hugging and kissing again.
I followed her to a store where I did some minor damage to her face. She says she's scared to death of me but she keeps messing with the man I married.
She pressed charges, and I went to jail. I paid a bond and got out and I chose to go to Court (they told me I didn't have to unless I want to fight it).
Yeah, I want to fight it.
Am I smart to do so?
I went to one hearing and told the judge that I plead not guilty.
I have to come back to Court in less than a week.
I feel that the circumstances here should be considered, and I certainly don't think I should get a criminal record out of this. I am legally married to this man, unfortunately, and I feel that my anger is justified.
What I would like to know is if the law considers all of this in looking at this sort of situation?
I'm mad, I'm hurt, and I'm afraid that even though this is a misdemeanor, I may end up with a real criminal record on the account of all this which will close the door to some jobs I'd like to have.
My husband feels no obligation to either me or his girlfriend and he'll do as he pleases, period.
I feel like he's going to ruin me careerwise.
This is the second woman he's cheated on me with and now I could pay the highest price with a record that may haunt me for the rest of my life while he goes and makes love to anything that looks good? This is wrong. This is just so wrong.
Someone please help.
