Unfaithful Husband Invites Other Woman to Move In
The wife says Dirk invited the former affair partner into their home and now refuses counseling while she still owes $4,490 for dental work.
- A wife contacted Dear Abby regarding her husband, Dirk, who allowed his former affair partner to move into their home sixteen months ago, creating significant marital strain and financial disputes.
- Dirk cheated on his wife more than 20 years ago and maintained contact with the woman afterward. When she claimed to be "in a bad place," he invited her to live with them without the wife's initial consent.
- The guest owes the wife $5,000 for dental work Dirk requested, though she has repaid only $510 despite maintaining employment. The wife also reports the guest's room is "filthy" and she has broken household items without compensation.
- Dirk refuses marriage counseling, stating he does not believe they need it, and tells his wife he simply "enjoys her company." When she previously asked the guest to leave, he intervened to ensure the woman remained.
- Abigail Van Buren advised the wife to resist moving out before obtaining attorney approval, warning that abandoning the home could harm potential divorce proceedings. She also recommended firmly setting boundaries regarding the guest's emotional needs.
