I was a good W to him. I left that conversation knowing I really am a prize. I'll be okay - maybe even better - after this situation. It doesn't make it any less painful or confusing now. I deserved so much better.

Hold on to those words. You are a good wife. You've offered forgiveness for one of the most devastating acts of betrayal. You've tried to be understanding and show love, kindness and strength for your children while trying to hold back your own tears. Yes, it's painful but you're much stronger than you think. Time for H to take notice of your strength.
