Thank you for your comments. I am 4 months into the healing after catching my husband with the other woman. I kept telling myself, "How could he do this? I have times of unhappiness too, but I didn't break my vows." But now I am finally coming to realize that he was not healthy during the time of his affair. He had lost his faith, and he was in pain from other choices he'd made. He was beating himself up, and his pride and selfishness all contributed to him acting out and having an affair. He was confused, lost, and misled, trying to find validation from a stranger. It makes my heart heavy as I realize how hurt and lost he was, and that I couldn't help him due to my own struggles in life. Your words of hope are encouraging. I see progress, but not fast enough for my impatient self. Sometimes the pain is overwhelming. So thank you for sharing your story of hope.
