...and now we are four years down the track and our lives are intertwined (and there's a 7 year old child involved)....and my husband's just had an affair but has ended it and professed his love for me and my child.....but is still unhappy with me because he simply feels i forced him into marriage. He says there's nothing he can see wrong with me - he is unhappy simply because he did not OWN the decision to marry. How do I fix this?

You can't. Did you hold a gun to his head? Didn't tink so. So maybe it's a case of "Grass is greener" or somesuch.
Have you read the material on this site wrt to recovery from an affair? There is a specific sequence/process that needs to take place. Doesn't sound like either of you have recovered. You from betrayal, him from emotionally blackmailing you...
You don't really supply enough info to say much more than that...

where is this info? I need to too. My husband also now says that he married me "under duress" and he has also strayed. I think its BS myself. Justification for bad behavior.
