" It tends to go toward "see you will never get over this. "

When she throws this back at you, hold your hand up and stop her. Tell her that you are not her and that this is your way of processing what happened. That you have a right to your feelings and that she broke the trust the two of you had ... not you. Tell her that if she doesn't understand what an A does to a LBS, she can read "After the Affair" or another book but she needs to respect your decision to deal with it in this manner. This is your way of "getting over" the situation.

She says that to minimize her role and not confront the hurt she caused. It's he defensive mechanism. That HER affair is somehow YOUR problem that you can't get over.
