I have posted before about affair that my Husband was haveing. Its been 3 years and to this day he says he never had affair. I have left it go and never really talk about it. At least not to him . Everyday for 3 years has been hard . Im so hurt 36 years of marriage and all the thing that i have found out . Do i really know my husband at all???? I was tapeing him for sometime but stoped to painful and he would just lie and say he was talking to himself. The last time i taped him was last OCT. and he was still talking to someone . i want to know the truth as this is killing me little by little eating at my soul. No matter what kind of proff i had he would say that i am crazy. The only way is to see them together, and i couldn't never could. How do i get over this ??? Let it go . My husband just keeps saying if i bring it up get over this there is no one. He treats me lovingly and tells me all the time he loves me . He has been caring and our sex life is great so why am i worried . I just feel like one of these days the bottom will fall out and i will be standing there like a fool for trusting him . i think all the time is it still going on???? how can i stop this madness, <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Do you know he had an affair? You got proof. Why do you need him to confirm it?

The proof is for you, not him. He knows. He was there.

You don't let it go or get over it. You know it. You know you know it.

Be present. He treats you lovingly. He has been caring and sexual with you.

You do not trust him. You fear the bottom will fall out and you will be a fool for trusting him.

No wonder you feel nutsy right now.

Trust is in your hands. Either you choose to give it or not.

Don't tell your H to own his affair...tell your H you do not choose to trust him. This is your choice, not his. Tell him you see him loving you, truly loving you, and it is not what you base your trust on. You love him but will not trust him.

Ask him if he wants your trust? If it is important to him? All he has to choose to do is be transparent with you. If you know where he is, who he is with, can view his cell phone and records, email passwords and accounts...then you will build your trust in him. You will know he is not cheating.

You matter. You're human. You can only control you and no one else.

I know you can do this.

"I have left it go and never really talk about it." Please also know this was your choice for three years...you did chose to let it go and not talk about it. You wanted to make your H confess. You can't. No one can. You only have the present and can choose differently. You can choose to talk about your thoughts, feelings and beliefs. They are yours. His are his.

Make them separate and equal in your mind. Because you are.

I couldn't possibly add to that advice. Heed it; your H must take ownership over the A and accept responsibility for his actions

Secrecy is not good in marriage. You may want to talk to supportive people. Denial from someone you trust, or should I say trusted, and is lying to you is very hard on your mind. My wife was lying outright with a strait face when I confronted her. She caved in only when I got her on the phone at the OM’s place in the morning. You are not alone in living denial.
