I guess that I should start posting here instead of the infidelity forum. We are doing beautifully. My wife is slowly but surely regaining her self-esteem, and I am past the anger stage. We still trigger. She will be reminded about her affair and her self-image suffers and she gets depressed, but not so much anymore, and when it does happen, she comes right to me and cries and I cuddle her and she can get over it quicker. When I trigger, I get moody and she will do something silly to make me laugh, or hold me and love me which is much better than a sharp stick in the eye. LOL The Townhouse is coming along nicely and we will probably move into it next month, and do the interior decor ourselves. My older daughter is now engaged and to a MARINE!! On a scale of 1-10 that's about a 20. My younger daughter is getting closer to her mom, and hasn't really had too many issues relating to the affair, so that's all good. Life is way better than I ever thought it would be again.
