Ok, Sasha. I have every intention of giving you an in-depth, thoughtful answer. I can't right this minute, but I want you to know I will be back as soon as I can.
For now know this: I was a cheater. My A nearly destroyed my marriage and me along with it. And I'm not done yet. I did everything wrong that you describe, with predictable results. It's time to try what works instead.
Don't lose hope!
My only warning is - you seem to be someone who puts faith in god/religion. I don't, so I can't address your issues from that perspective. Others here can help you with that part
