Absolutely, these forums are filled with such stories. But they may not even be there, they may still be in the "puppy love" stage. How long have they been involved? The "puppy love" feelings come from a dopamine release and those feelings can continue for anywhere from a month to about 6 months.

2. How can a relationship move forward after an affair, if they are in contact...whether by relationship or friendship?


Realistically it can't. The contact needs to end. This isn't really a negotiable point, it must end. Then he'll have to go through the grieving process, then the rebuilding can proceed.

3. Will he ever be able to let go of her whether as a g/f or a friend?


Of course he can, and he must.

4. Why doesn't he understand why or how I feel.


Because right now it's all about him!

5.Why doesn't he understand that I will always be threatened by her knowing what she wants, what she tried and is trying to do?


This is where a good MC can really help. This is an important issue that needs to be resolved, but you're going to need quality help to work through it.
