I'm interested in that phrase "that couples do fall apart during this phase". Well, why is that? Becuase one cannot forgive the other,they just cant get past it? Becuase the other cannot forgive themelves, or cannot take the constant reminding of what they did and cant take the shame/guilt? That they no longer love each other as they once did? What reasons?

It would seem you have a choice in there. Like June says, would you feel better/happier/relieved if you got divorced from him and went your separate ways and he is free to date whomever he likes then? How does that make you feel?

Just trying to help kiddo. xx
