Hello , hide my identity
I'm a 47 year old man. Been married for a couple of years with 4 children. My wife and I have been having serious marital issues. We have done counseling twice and it hasn't helped. Somehow as we grow, our s*xual energies have become different. Her libido has reduced and she hardly wants us to be intimate. I on the other hand loves s*x a lot and she knows it. This has been the main reason for our problems.
I have been in a relationship with one of my salesgirls. I take very good care of her. I'm not proud of it. Unfortunately my 20 year old son has found out about it. It was a mistake I did. He got access to my phone and found out. Don't want to go into that. The problem now is that, my son has lost all respect for me.
I have promised him that I have ended the relationship. Which I have, but he doesn't listen to me when I talk to him anymore. He no longer chats with me or even looks cheerful when I'm around. His mother even noticed and asked me because he is my body body. He and I chat like brothers. How do I win my son's trust back?
Thankfully, he is wise enough to know that telling his mother is a bad idea. I tried sitting him down one time to talk, but he just walked out on me. I lost my temper and almost hit him once when I was calling him and he wasn't answering. He dared me to try hitting him. He told me he will beat me and I will forget I'm his father.
The past few days, I have been very sad about what I've done. He's my only son and I don't want him to hate me for cheating on his mother. I also don't want him to follow in my footsteps. I cannot punish him. He is a grown man and I'm the one at fault. I don't want to bring a third party into it. I just need your diverse opinions on this so that I decide how to handle it. I will be reading the comments.
