    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My husband and I have been married 18 years and together 23. On Thanksgiving 07 I found a womans cell number in his phone. We got home from Thanksgiving dinner and he had packed up and left. We then caught him with that same woman a week before Christmas. We have both filed for divorce but I don't want one. I am having a terrible time "letting go" of our marriage. I thought I would grow old and die with this man. I don't understand what she had that I didn't. My boys and I are devastated.

      Treatments

      Leave Working / Worked
      Went with my children skiing in Colorado at the beginning when he just left and it did lift one of my dark clouds.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Reading Working / Worked
      Self help books are good and the divorceCare book is helping.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Lean on your friends. Mine are wonderful. The only thing is that I am afraid that they will get sick of seeing me cry.

    • Close Infidelity

      I have been married for 18 years, have 2 sons (14 & 17). On Thanksgiving I found out that my husband was talking with another woman since March. A week before Christmas my sons and I caught him with this woman. I am in constant pain and I am scared to death of the unknown future. I am sad and my children are very angry with my husband. Can someone tell me that I will be ok?
