My husband recently moved to China for work for 2 years and 2 weeks into his relocation, he cheated on me. I found out about the affair 2 months later and he was apologetic and confirmed he has ended it. However, he refused to move back to SG as he really likes his job and value the career opportunities. He is though willing to come back every alternate weekend to spend time with the family. Apart from feeling betrayed, I also feel that he doesn't prioritize the family since he chose to stay in China and not come back to work things out with me. Should I cont' to stay in this marriage? Am I wrong to hope/expect him to come back completely in order to save the marriage? *long story which is hard to explain here but I can't move to China... or at least I can't move this current moment...

Hey babe! So sorry to hear about your situation. *big hugs* Just gonna offer some of my views for you to think about. Very importantly, nobody can tell you whether you should continue to stay in the marriage or not. A marriage is build on trust, and that is something that only you can decide for yourself whether you can still trust your husband after everything that has happened. Trust is even more important (I feel) in maintaining a long distance relationship. He seemed to be willing to try to make things work by traveling back every other week. You may need to consider if that is enough for you. I have friends who were able to sustain a long distance relationship when they were only able to see each other once every 3 to 4 months or so. It is really dependent on the couple as to how to make things work. If both of you are willing to put in the effort to make the marriage work despite the distance, it would be good to think through what are your concerns and the challenges and discuss with him to see if there is any way about it. Take care!
