Hey everyone it has been awhile since I posted but I have been reading a lot. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how things are going and give some people a little encouragement. If you do a search on my posts you can get up to speed.
My situation wasn't the usual affair situation but guess what? We are almost a month into recovery. I started making huge love deposits in my hubbies love bank and he realized he didn't want her at all. It was just the en being met by her that he was after. He discovered that I could fill them just as good and even better.
There is still a ways to go I am sure but both of us feel like new people. We have been going to the gym and working out together 5 days a week and spending every spare minute together. What is so great is that we hardly ever fight! We used to not be able to be in the same room for 1 minute before we started taking each others heads off! I feel more love for him then I ever thought it was possible to feel for someone and he says he feels the same way. Why do I believe him? You can't fake the love I see in his eyes. I have been so on top of the world I can't even believe it!
So everyone if you love your spouse don't give up. Everyone told me to divorce him that our situation was awful so on and so forth. Even Jennifer Harley in our councelling session told me to file but I couldn't do that. I knew that we could fix it. This man is my soul mate and even though someone else might not understand your situation you know what is in your heart. Don't let what anyone tells you change your mind about what you SHOULD feel. Advice here is meant to show you what worked for them. Well, sticking it out and putting up with a lot of sh** for a while until he would let me back into his heart worked for me.
Thanks for listening. And thank you for all the advise that was given to me. It helped me know that I was not alone and that people really do care!
