Hon, I think everyone of us felt so low and worthless when our spouses left, had an affair or both. I wrote this on someone else's thread today(not exact words though): When he first left, I thought who could possibly want me if the scum of the earth doesn't. Then I began to realize that I was above the scum but he had been holding on to me. Eventually another bit of scum grabbed a hold of him and he chose to let go. I was left to fly higher and find a better place.

I believe that your low self esteem could have contributed to issues within the marriage, it certainly was no reason for him to wander off and have an affair. Maybe Gabe didn't/doesn't feel all that great about himself and needed an ego boost. He has issues too my dear and really it isn't all about you. He was just thinking about himself and how to feel better.

Now you do the same.
