How Long Does it Take For The Pain To Go Away? - 03/10/11 03:42 AM
An Update...I ordered 2 Sim Card Readers and they did not work on ANY cards not even the one in my own phone. I am done with the idea of reading Sim Cards. There has been NC with my H and the OW...I am positive. I read the letter he wrote his friend in Minnesota and he told her they could no longer be friends because he valued our marriage and that was what was most important to him and I believe he realizes that friendships with single woman are wrong. He has set up boundries and realizes that he did not do this before. He has said over and over that what he has done was wrong, that his life was spiraling out of control. Everyone knows what he did now and I believe he is remorseful. There will never be another chance for him with this issue. He has been incredible to me...like a new person. He actually listens to me and I feel like we are learning to love again. Most of the time when I don't think about the EA I am ok. It is never far from my thoughts however and I am so sick of that feeling. Sometimes I feel so relieved to go to sleep at night so I can stop thinking about it or picturing her ugly face then I wake up and its a horrible reality again.When will the pain go away? When will I trust again? I feel like if I don't get over these feelings, we will never heal and I try so hard to make them go away. Is this normal? I have read so much on the subject and I feel like if I keep bringing up the EA it will be more damaging then letting go and moving on. What is your opinion on that? Should a spouse stop bringing up the EA to the WS? Is there a time when that in itself becomes damaging to the recovery? I still feel the need to talk about it sometimes. Is that wrong? I need to trust again...how can I do this? Like this week my H is out of town on business. I cant continue to feel this way everytime he leaves...its not healthy.I feel like we are meeting each othersEN now. We are talking, spending time alone, learning new things about each other and I see a new person emerging from my H but I still feel so hurt and betrayed. I still have those thoughts of why wasnt I good enough for you? He told me that he realizes his behavior was wrong and I truely believe he is changing so why cant I make this pain go away? Sometimes I feel like even though I love him I should leave because I dont want to feel like this for the rest of my life and only being with someone new will I ever have that innocence again...that he destroyed. Is this right to feel like this? How can you love someone and hate them at the same time?Craziness...
