It has been more than a year since the night I tore Dot's heart out by telling her there about the OW, and telling her I wanted to leave and start a new life with the OW.<BR>Dot and I are trying to rebuild, but she is still hurting badly. This morning she told me the pain in her broken heart felt like someone had stuck a knife deep into her heart and twisted it. Even worse, she said that the pain is just as bad today as it was a year ago. <P>Does it ever get better? Is there any way to help this pain get better faster? How long will it last? We are struggling so hard, and together, to get this behind us. <BR>

I'm touched by your concern for your wife. You have a very great potential to help your wife's healing. Have you read LIGHT HER FIRE by Kriedman? It might help you with her emotional needs.<P>Are you in counseling, together or individual? If not, I heartily recommend it. My counselor has saved my sanity and I'm 7 months since my H's first confession and 10 days since I caught him again. (I'm probably a little shell-shocked from the last time, I don't think the pain has really hit yet.)If not a counselor, do you have a pastor? A really good friend? There are also lots of other books, many mentioned repeatedly on this forum on everything from affairs to forgiveness to communication.
