I told my husband to leave tonight. I just cant stand to look at him. Im so angry and hurt. I just want to know how to move forward without him. I guess sometimes love is not enough.

Yes I told my son but he doesnt really understand what a prostitute is. He doesnt even understand what sex is. I also told my parents and sister.

sohurt, your son is 13. Your son is old enough to understand what a prostitute is. If he doesn't understand what sex is, you can explain it to him, along with the concept of adultery. I know this is tough on you, but he needs to hear about all this from you and not from his buddies at school.

13 year olds know what sex is. He is already in school with children who have been having sex. He knows what a prostitute is. I understand this is hard for a mom (hey, I have a son too) but please give your son more credit than this.

I did tell my son and tried to explain it the best way I could. I just felt like he acted like he didnt understand. For some reason I just still think of him as little I guess. I just feel so sick to the stomach. It hurts so much to have your family destroyed. I went out today to the store and just driving down the street I remembered things about us. Why am I missing someone who has hurt me so bad?

Thats entirely natural. Women in films and music videos might click their fingers and move on past loving as soon as they've launched his bags out the door, but that's not real life.

You have a love bank for him - that he spent x amount of years filling. Its not going to magically disappear. Either you choose to fall out of love in Plan C, (not recommended) where he lovebusts the amount down with maximum pain at each withdrawal, or you Plan B, which sees you grieve naturally for a while and then heal in peace. Plan B is pretty great.

What would you do if you were not afraid?

Also if you go to Plan B it will help you heal.

You do havea large balance in your lovebank and Dr. H did just say the other day on the show that BS with large balances have a difficult time going to Plan B.
