Help, WH involved in 5 yr EA with SIL, - 12/23/13 12:44 AM
I'm new, not sure if I'm doing things the right way here.
We have been married 40 years. I never ever thought this could happen to us . It hasn't been a great marriage but I always trusted wh and thought he was faithful .
I found out 2 weeks ago that my wh has been having an EA with my sil for the past 5 years. it had escalated to contact with calls, notes and letters since March . My sil has turned him down flat, told him no way .
DD occurred when I got the mail and found a card my sil had returned that wh had mailed her, I opened it . Called her, found out what was going on, called our pastor. Then called wh and told him he needed to come home . Wh said he loved sil and would til the day he died . Agreed to talk to our pastor.
We have been in counseling with our pastor plus wh meets with pastor separately .
I am having such a hard time dealing with wh telling me that he really liked sil as soon as he met her(a couple of years after we were married ) and has wished he hadn't married me so he could have married her .
Our pastor and I believe that he's using this as an escape fantasy instead of dealing with our marriage. I really think this has got to be some sort of mental problem with somebody living a double life for this long .
Sorry - shouldn't have written a book
