I need advise and have some questions for anyone who can help. D-Day is almost 2 months ago. My H is trying hard, ended the A immediately, and in lots of ways things are going great. But questions still haunt me. I want to know details..how he felt, what he told her, what were their plans. I have a hard time getting these from H...he will answer my questions but only with vague remarks and yes and no answers. Can't get him to elaborate. What he doesn't understand is that the truth will hurt, but his little lies and withholding from me the details I need only do damage. How can I rebuild my trust for him if he can't be completely honest. Protecting from the truth doesn't help. Also, I have read in several sites about the anger stage. Most say it comes around 5-6 months after d-day, but is it possible to be there after 2 months? I get so angry sometimes that H and OW just make me sick. I feel like I want to hurt him (emotionally) and don't see how I'll ever be able to forgive him.. I don't see how I can ever get past this and move on to the future without knowing what I need to know about the past and he doesn't understand this. His view is that he's with me, doesn't feel anything for her anymore, just wants it to be over and move on...wouldn't that be great! How can I make him understand my need to know how he felt about this woman and what all really went on....he's answered alot but there are still so many unanswered questions...will I ever get the answers I need or should I just move on?

Hey there,

You'll read on this site and in the Harley books that there are 4 laws for M (and recovery)...protection, care, time and HONESTY.
He advocates the Policy of Radical Honesty...which means honesty about EVERYTHING.

I had a hard time convincing my H to tell me details too. I told him by withholding facts that I wanted to know it was like he was still sharing secrets with her. I wanted to know he would betray their secrets to me. I needed to know intimate details, I needed him to kiss and tell. I thought by keeping secrets that he was still holding a thing for her too, like upholding HER honor.
