I Never Imagined Being Here

[Making_IT]

Thank you for the reminder regarding cheaters. I certainly agree with you 100%. I am definitely on heightened alert and have not ruled out the possibility.

I am really feeling torn right now. Do I try to completely detach at this stage? Do I try and apply the concepts that the marriage counselor is suggesting? So far she says it is ok for us to talk, text and email. She still gives me a kiss and a hug when we see each other and when we depart. She tells me that she loves me when we hang up the phone.

She asked that I send her a text message when I leave this afternoon so that she can call me back and we can discuss last night's counseling session. Should I follow through with texting her and seeing if she calls back?

I know that she is probably just as confused and scared as I am right now. My natural instinct is to try and protect her and take her pain away, but I know that I can't do that.
