I think it's time I went to counselling (with or without my WH).
I have no idea where to start. Can anyone recommend someone good?

hi
I noticed you hadn't got any replies and just wanted to touch base so that you didn't think you were ignored or forgotten.
Which part of Sydney are you from? Although I haven't managed to go see a counsellor myself as yet ( though i really really need to) so cannot reccommend anyone from personal experience as yet, I do have a couple of names I've been given. One at merrylands, castle hill and Hornsby.
I read your posts the other day and just wanted you to know you are not alone. I have a 18 month old and a 5 year old and WH had affairs both times I was pregnant. ( 2nd pregnancy was planned and agreed to only on the promise that it would never ever happen again!) The first OW never really disappeared of the radar screen. The second affair continues to this day.
I don't have time to go into my story ( which is a long one) but just wanted you to know I am around here in Sydney if you ever wanted someone to talk to. I have found talking to someone that has been though something similiar helps a lot ...even though we may not have the magic solution that fixes everything. It is like grieving for someone close that has died ..hard to really understand and relate to unless you have lived through it yourself to know the pain it causes.
Anyway take care.
I think you can send me a private message if you want to know the contact details or get in touch ..but I have never used that PM thing so you might have to reply to this post so I know to log in and go look.

I must definitely be crazy to even ponder the question as to whether or not I am in fact crazy. I only have to listen to my story to know without a shadow of a doubt I am absolutely crazy for having put up with this nonsense for so long!

Thank you so much for your response.
I was away for a while...and I had to search to find this. Thanks so much for taking the time to.
I'm in the South West (guess I should be careful about putting my suburb - sadly there are a lot of people that have taken interest in what's happened to my marriage and I just hope I can keep completely anon here!)
I am so sorry you have to be here like the rest of us, but it would be nice to chat - like you said - to someone who doesn't have the answers but knows the feelings.
I've never used the PM thing, so I'll take a look.
Thanks for getting back to me.
