Please consider counseling. It is almost impossible to survive an affair without it. Have your husband read the article Shattered Vows at findarticles.com by Psychology Today. The book Torn Asunder is also great. It is very normal for you to feel this way. Take care of yourself and demand what you need, to work thru this. If you bury it, it will come back later and much worse. Good luck!

Hey, I live in a small community, too! I love it, but there sure aren't as many services available as are in areas with more people! I live out west, where distances between towns is great. Most of our towns are at least 25 miles apart, and some are much farther. <P>What we do here is go where the services are. I'm driving 25 miles to get to a counselor. I've had to drive over a hundred miles to get to certain kinds of medical doctors. I know driving a long ways is difficult and time-consuming, but it's do-able and worth it. You'd drive quite a distance to get cancer treatment, wouldn't you?<P>You can get a lot of great help and support at this site, but in your situation, you really do need a counselor.<BR>Let us know how you're doing, okay?
