He does not care, Swimming. He's having an A...clearly he does not care how you feel.

I told him I feel really insecure about this whole situation. He knew my emails that I sent to him about stupid little things were to check to see if he was going over there....I cant win.
You won't win as long as you continually choose losing plays. You demonstrated to him the OPPOSITE of a strong, confident woman last night. And even if you are neither strong nor confident - FAKE IT! Do not show that fear and insecurity to him. He does not care. It will not move him. He will not stop doing that other woman to help you feel SECURE.

My anxiety does take over..but I was doing so well.
Choices, Swimming. You are making choices. Anxiety is not some entity over which you have not control. Combat anxiety with strength and self-love.

It is not fair to think that everytime we have a fight or I "badger" him he will talk to her or see her...not fair. I cant live my life like that.
So don't. Stop WORRYING about what he will do b/c of what you will do. He is making choices, too, but they are about what he wants. You act like you have some control over that and you don't. You only control YOU!

I will agree that my anxiety does get the best of me
Hell yeah it does! And Swimming, if you don't toughen up, you are going to go belly up on yourself! Big Girl Panties, my sister...put 'em on. Look, face these facts - your husband is having an affair. He is not attracted to you. He thinks you worry too much. He says you badger him. He doesn't trust what you say. >>> Keep doing the same things you are currently doing, and none of this will change. <<< Or, or, or...you could use a different approach - a confident, GAL, self-care, forward looking approach - and see what changes appear.

Don't make me come over there! smile
