Sure, some of us have been married or together a long time, but I don't think it makes a difference in how we feel. We all go through the same emotions of hurt, loss of trust...etc. I hope you don't feel like you're not entitled to the same feelings because you certainly are. Someone mentioned once that they couldn't imagine how it is to go through it with kids in the picture. I've gone through it now as a mom and previously without a child. Yes you hurt for your children, but trust me, it doesn't feel any different either way. It's still very, very painful.
Have a good one!
