In my opinion, affairs dont just 'happen'. It takes the Wayward spouse to be in the wrong frame of mind coupled with the opportunity. So what about the marriage led his mind to be susceptible to this?
That's a tough question but you're right I need to be answering that. I suppose it was a communication thing generally in our relationship that was an issue- we got in great with day to day stuff but NEVER argued, always just brushed things under the carpet to keep the peace I suppose. I think There were other factors, he got a new job and I stayed at home with the kids, massive balance change in our marriage, we had worked together before that, earning equal money etc, his hours meant he was hardly at home at all do we barely saw each other, we did drift apart because of that, my health issues put a massive strain on us as I was very down, worried and anxious a lot of the time, I had no friends here so i was lonely at home so every time he came home I would just moan at him. The thing is all of this is within the last year..
So what are your plans to rectify some of the things in bold?
