Liz, I do care about you. Take all of your thoughts and send them in a message to me. I will try my best. I have a gaping wound as well..... but i will not leave you alone.. I just got home from church.... I prayed for you.
Hug
I know exactly how you feel. My husband is committed to working past the affair, but it feels impossible to get over. Like you, I've forgiven him with my lips countless times, yet I never feel like it. I hope that things get better...
Hug
God bless hon. You will get through this. We will all get through this. Strength in numbers and we're in this together.

Liz, Just put one foot in front of the other. You will know when it is time to quit or reconcile. Things will never be perfect, accept that. he is a liar and a cheat and trusting him is folly. so just dont worry about what you focus on. You are healing every day and if your focus is on hiim, it is supposed to be, in my opinion. Get better. Deb (Nave)

Close Infidelity
This is my second marriage. John is 14 years younger than I.We have been married 19 years. We tried to have children when we were first married, but were not successful. My husband suffers from depression. He also went through a chronic gambling problem,losing $20K over a two year period. There have been numerous instances of his infidelity, which he shrugged off or explained away,including our family doctor asking me to have an AIDS test,giving me genital herpes,joining online dating services.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have been on Effexor for 2 1/2 years and am now off for one month. The reason I went off (under the supervision of my doctor and therapist)is that it had many side effects. I am now feeling the stored up pain of two and 1/2 years of only feeling 10% of my feelings. I am trying to work thru issues of child abuse and my husbands infidelity. I have a strong family history of depression, and want to be healthy and happy. I am taking small steps, and am journaling each day to try to heal
