I'm in the "just found out" mode and still checking H emails and phone calls. He is upset because he expected me to just forgive, forget, and move on the day I found out. I told him that was not possible but that I would try.
So, last night I was checking internet history and saw that in a webcrawler search there were subjects like "dating services," "cheap hotels," and "silky sheets." So I am immediately upset, thinking that he has no intention of changing and called a friend for advice. She told me to let it go. Well, I couldn't and confronted him about it when he got home from work. He of course denied looking for those things and said he was looking for something about an office linebacker using that search engine. He told me they must be pop ups. I tried to believe him.
Anyway, tonight he is upset with me because he works with the friend and she told him that she told me to ignore it. He starts giving me his work laptop to check for emails and his cell in a very sarcastic manner. He told me that it doesn't matter what he does, I'm going to do what I want to do anyway. Now he has completely shut down and is not talking to me. What the heck?!
Why do I feel like I am the one getting the blame for the affair here? He doesn't want to talk about it and it is all that is on my mind. I went to see my counselor today and she gave me a book to read on surviving infidelity. I told him about it and he said that when I am ready and have worked through whatever it is I need to do, then let him know.
He apparently thinks I need to do this by myself and he shouldn't be involved or asked questions by me. Granted, I tend to get stuck on the same questions over and over again but still. Shouldn't he be willing to also work through this with me? Or is it really a solo effort in recovery?
Big LBs tonight on both of our parts. Any advice on how to get through this?
