It's a misery you volunteer for.
If you refuse help, then accept responsibility for your decision to live miserably without trying to pawn responsibility off onto your husband's shoulders.
Your situation / unhappiness is YOUR decision ... yours alone.
You are willing to remain miserable for lack of integrity to be honest and make necessary changes.
My opinion only.

Herebyrequest, if you need a safe space to talk about the end of your affair and working it through, please check out the boards over at saveyourmarriagecentral.infopop.cc. There is a private board where people who've had affairs are supported (and challenged) through the process of ending an affair.
It's one of the most respectful and compassionate places I've ever seen, even while it will focus you on the hard work that's before you. If your husband has asked you to come here to read, please invite him to read the SYMC site and the public boards there. If you and he have any questions about it, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address below. I can put you in touch with the owner of the board. She personally moderates the board that people who've had affairs use.
