      From anotherbetrayed1 Monday

      Hi jrsygrl. I have been traveling, trying to force myself to feel "normal." Does the feeling of normalcy ever return? It has also been 16 months since I discovered my husband's adultery. He and our counselor (a male) can't seem to understand why I am not making progress. Maybe because they are both men and obviously don't see the betrayal in the same manner that I do? Maybe because they have never been cheated on? Who knows...at any rate, I can almost guarantee that if either of them were in my shoes, they would have left the marriage. At this point, I am just trying to determine if the marriage is even worth it. I feel like I don't have any self-love, self-honor, or self-respect if I stay. So many things to consider...I will be praying for you as well.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I found out that my husband of 30 years had an affair with a co-worker for over 5 years. I started dating him at 18. He was my first and only love. He was the one person I thought I could completely trust. The betrayal was so painful I thought I would never be able to forgive or forget. We separated and I filed for divorce. My husband was extremely repentent and would not give up on trying to win me back. We have since reconciled and are working to rebuild our marriage.
