Ok, let me think about some issue/solution type things...I truly think part of the reason H cheated was because he knew how stressed and unhappy I was and wanted to either beat me to the punch or avoid a lifelong "unhappy marriage" like he'd seen a fam member live through since I wasn't leaving. Some communication, understanding, appreciation and time to reconnect were much needed.
