My (f 31) husband (m 32) got drunk last night and admitted to cheating on me a little over a year ago. It was only a one night stand and no he wore a condom, but he did confess to putting my name on the rental car instead of his to save money on the insurance claims. <br><br>I took the car to get an oil change and when I was there, the woman behind the desk asked if I was "Mike's wife". I asked who Mike was and she told me that her boyfriend Mike was in the service bay working on my car and that the last time he saw me he said he had a "good time with me". I was obviously confused since I had never met this man before and I tried explaining it to her. But she just kept pushing the issue and started getting angry with me like I was the one doing something wrong. Eventually her manager came out and took over. He asked me for the vin number on my car and when he looked it up he told me that the car had been rented the last time it was there and that my husband had been the one to drop it off. I was floored, I had no idea he had ever rented a car so I knew something was up and I told him that and he offered to show me the receipt. And sure enough, it was my husbands name on the rental agreement. After I got home I confronted him on it and he gave me a whole story about how the car broke down and he had to rent one so he could drive to work but he dropped it off a day late and was charged the late fee. I told him that I wasn't stupid and I knew that he lied. He kept pushing the story on me until I told him I wanted a divorce. He broke down crying and told me the whole truth. He cheated on me and was trying to cover his own tracks by saying he had an emergency and needed to rent a car so he could save money on the insurance claims by putting my name on the rental. He claims that he did use a condom and that it was just a one time thing and it meant nothing to him and he's sorry. <br><br>I want to believe him, I do. I love my husband and the thought of living without him is terrifying. But I'm just so angry and hurt that he would do that and then lie to me about it.<br><br>I'm still reeling from the revelation right now and I don't know what to do. Should I give him another chance or should I get a divorce?
