We all believe infidelity is the deal breaker until it happens to us and we love the person.This is my second go-round. Husband did this 8 years ago, came to his senses and we resolved. Now, here I am again, and with a vengence. He never finished his MLC, just post-poned it.

Visiting this board will help you heal You. Your H is on his own. You are going to hear this a lot. You didn't break him, you can't fix him.
Stick around, you'll get a lot of wonderful support.
