Not sure how many know me since I am fairly new to this site but I just had my third baby boy about 5 weeks after finding out about WH's EAs. My H has been wonderful through everything and I feel closer to him. I think we are going to recover and our marriage be stronger. I hope this isn't a trend - that things go better after discovery, only to resort back.

I am optimistic.

Congratulations, kab!!!!!!!

I am so happy that your H is being supportive, That is great!

I don't know your story, but Plan A you heiny off, ok? Will he be helping you with the new baby? Third babies are sooooo awesome...none of that first-time mommy trouble! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I delivered my third in May about a month into his A, so I have been there.

God bless you and your new little one!

Good to hear happy news. Can you give more details? How did WH treat you while you were pregnant? We have several women going through that here.

Believer,

My husband has always treated me well. He is a kind man. Things went south for us because I had unrealistic expectations of marriage and when those were not met, I became resentful. I asked him what his expectations were andhe said he didn't have any. That threw me for a loop but again was resentful because I didn't know how to be his wife - the way he wanted. But through it all, I never stopped loving him andhe said he never stopped loving me. He did turn to the internet and had EA with several women who saw all the things I saw in him when we married. I just stopped expressing it and these women didn't.

He was wonderful during my pregnancy. It was a surprise and to be honest I was the one that was upset at first. I am 38 and not sure I wanted to start over with a newborn. He was excited the whole time and completely in love with all three of our boys. Our 7 yr anniversary was 3 days before our son was born and we watched our wedding video and videos of our boys when they were born. It was soo emotional - we laughed and cried and helped us both remember why we are together in the first place.

I do feel optimistic and blessed with this beautiful baby boy. Just wondering if this is a common theme after discovery. My H doesn't seem to be in any withdrawal after we agreed no more contact with the women or internet. Do WH's often go through a period of 'good behavior'?

thanks to all of you for your well-wishes.
