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...

It is not going to be easy to maintain a Long distance marriage. Mentally is very stressful. It's very unhealthy & unfair To the Wife and also to the kids. I myself grew up in such environment. My dad went overseas when I was 9. I can see how unhappy my mum is from her eyes although she is acting brave in front of us. My mum gotta struggle hard alone in Singapore, taking care of home & other matters. And also becoz of this my Brother and I have to be under the care of our grandparents since young. As a result our relationship with dad is not close till recent years when he moved back to SG then we gradually are closer abit. Recently I spoke to my mum about this topic, her advice based on her own experience is if ur Husband need to be stationed overseas, go with him together with kids or all stay in SG! Out of ten men who stationed overseas, 9 of them will cheat on their wives!
