My husband just informed me he has serious feelings about a good friend. And they are mutual. Our marriage has been difficult for years. He wants us to stay together for our child, even have more children, while he investigates these feelings. Our "romance" has been gone for quite some time and he thinks it is okay to live together as friends for our family. I don't even know where to start...all I can do is cry. I feel so betrayed and like a fool. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hi,
You didn't say how long you've been married...but I guess, in reality, it doesn't matter. Don't let him treat you like a doormat. Make him decide if he wants to be married to you and make it work...or give up on your marriage, and leave. Don't let him have his cake and eat it too. God Bless you.. my prayers are with you.

I am so sorry about your pain. A lot of us have been there - it feels like you have been hit a bus.

You will find a lot of support and much useful information on this site. Read as many of the posts as you can. Please consider getting a copy of Dr. Harley's books "Surviving an Affair" and "His Needs, Her Needs". They will be invaluable in helping you to cope with this.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
