It's rough being told 2 days before you're 7th anniversary, by your husband, that he f*cked some woman in the back seat of her car.
Yep. And right before Christmas too. I almost think that would throw me more than the anniversary. I don't know....Christmas is just so BIG, involving the whole family. It would be ruined for me.
I would have done exactly what Miss IC has done. I don't think it's overboard at all. I would want to put serious space between myself and my H and no way would I leave my kids behind right before Christmas. Why should I? I didn't have the ONS and I didn't decide to pick the week before Christmas to fess up.
IC, I think you're doing the right thing letting her have her space right now. She'll talk when she's ready.
ETA: What I said isn't about punishment. I honestly don't know if I could stomach being in the same room as my cheating H on Christmas. I sure wouldn't be able to act like all was OK. Reading this thread has made me feel a little sick, to be honest.
