Pickle and Mrs. B, I agree, it is almost like an epidemic. Even here in my workplace, I have heard of this happening. We are all in the same boat. Must be the economy, or the age group we are in, or the number of years we have been married.
Mrs. B, this is so new to you, so please don't do anything drastic yet. The first month or so will be spent crying your heart out, feeling so weak, feeling so hopeless, not eating - this is normal. But you came to the right place. When this happened to me, I begged, pleaded, tried to make him see the light, pulled out old pictures, all to no avail. But here you will see that those behaviours are all a big NO if you want to save your marriage, so start with that now.
Read Michele's books, I have the one that is "Divorce Remedy" she has examples there and you can sort of identify with what others has gone through. Its a big comfort to know that it has happened before, and that many people have successfully restored their marriage.
Mine is still troubled, but at least I have found some equilibrium. It took me almost four months to get to this point.My husband has an EA, and feels he does not love me anymore, we have an 11 yr old daughter. As of now, I feel like my life is on hold, but I am slowly taking this as an opportunity to use DB techniques and hopefully save my marriage.

Hang on, we will all help each other here.
