Dear hurting&scared:

I understand the pain you are going through right now. You are new to this board, as I see, so I recommend that you immediately begin reading all you can.

From your post, it appears that your wife may have a gambling problem. Has this continued? It would be helpful to know. Can you tell us more about the affair? Is it confessed and over? Is there NC (co contact between them now)?

I would suggest you read all about meeting your wife's needs (there is all kinds of info on this site), as needs not being met is often the main reason an affair occurs in the first place. Another good idea is counselling.

Please tell us more. Have you tried communicating your pain to your wife? What does she think?

There are many experienced people who share here. The more info you give us the better.

God bless.
