Hi Antonia. I know how you feel and I wanted you to know you are not alone. I wouldn't even consider R with my H if I didn't believe that he is an inherently good person. Yes, something very powerful has taken all of these WS over. A new relationship is exciting, elicit and addictive. It actually affects their brains by releasing feel-good hormones. It's not fair to compare it to a long-term deeper R, but they have foggy brains and aren't thinking clearly.

As far as not being angry, don't worry about that. Three weeks is not a long time. It's possible you are still in a bit of shock and still processing. In any event, you feel what you feel, when you feel it. Everyone handles crises differently. I went through an anger stage many months after I found out. It is what it is. Commonly referred to as the emotional roller coaster. It sucks and it's unfair, but you must ride it out to recover...if only for yourself.
