I owe you an opology. I read your post and I got hooked by the things you said your H did because it was all the same things my H said.(he never stayed out late-big whoop)
You are laying your pain out there and I know how hard it is to revisit those horrid memories.
All I can say is they lose something within themselves when they do this. It really is like they are someone else.
I don't know what makes them do it and I sure don't know what makes them snap out of it.
Your H has though. That does not make the memories any less painful. That does not make trust any easier.
We have to work so hard to get past all this. It's probably the hardest thing we'll ever have to do.
Please keep sharing with us. It may hook me, but I need to work through my anger and this is as good a way as any I can think of.
I hope you don't mind if I use what you say to process my own feelings. Your so articulate, and you get to the very core of the betrayal and how it effected you.
I promise not shanghi your thread again. I apologize Jeannine. Rachael
