    • Close Infidelity

      Been with my husband for 10 years, married for 4. Just found out he’s been having an affair with a colleague from Ivy League graduate school for about a year. Prior to him coming to grad school, we were best friends and had a wonderful and exciting life together. Trying to work through things with him, while maintaining my strength and commitment to myself.

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      Currently going to couple's counseling twice a week. It's working great... I think my husband hadn't expressed himself for the past 3 years he's been in school. I'm finding a lot of strength in it too.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      Trying to work toward forgiveness, think I have a ways to go to forgive him. I think he has a long way to go to forgive himself.

    • Close Healthy Relationships

      Had a healthy relationship for 8 years, but then lost it the last 3 with my husband in grad school. He had an affair with a colleague, but has exhibited resolve in his actions since I was told about the affair. Trying to remember what it was like to have a healthy relationship again.

      Been active all of my life [competitive distance running], but tore my ACL and meniscus December 2006. Had ACL reconstruction [used my own tendon] and meniscus repair July 2007. It's been a LONG SLOW recovery, but I've been through it all. I'm happy to help people going through ACL surgery any way I can. Good luck!
