My H is not doing too well. overwhelmed with guilt, in despair. he just thinks there is no hope for him to ever be happy again.
should i get him to post here? or would that be a bad thing?
are there any other forums like this that could help him?
thanks

He can post here. But we always suggest the two of you stay on your own separate threads.

Does he know about the site?
It is not recommended that you show this to him.

********** and ********** The first one is very similar to MB. The second one doesn't give so many ideas of how to fix things.
I don't see any reason for him not to post here. The only problem is that he will be able to see any advice that you get.
He needs to have no contact with OW. What's up with that?

He needs to have no contact with OW. What's up with that? he's in public accounting. he can't quit in the middle of tax season. well, he could, but any future employer would think that looked VERY bad, and i also found out from OWH that OW will probably be moving to another state after tax season is over and their D is final.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. So what is bothering him the most? the guilt and shame over what he has done. and he says he hates putting me through this, when it may or may not be worth it in the end. he says it feels so hopeless. he's numb. he says he knows he loves me, but isn't interested in kissing, cuddling or sex. he can't look me in the eyes. i think he may be depressed, but he doesn't think so. also he's working 55 to 60 hours a week, which further compounds everything. plus the OW is there.

FO,
What he is going through is the normal process, but like I've said before, it's going to be much longer and drawn out while he still has contact with OW. Assuming there has not been a resumption of the A...his feelings are a normal process and IMO is a good sign that he is processing what he has done. Some FWS's never feel (or appear to feel) very much shame or guilt, and from what I've read here, that seems to stall recovery big time.
Oh he's depressed...

Well with ongoing contact the affair IS ongoing and I'm not surprised he is depressed.
In what way is *********** like MB Believer?
