NYGal, your story is one of such optimism. It's good to hear about someone whose story is getting better. It gives the rest of us a glimmer of something like hope.
We may never get to that point with our spouses, but learning about your healing process is very important. Many, if not most, of us have been deeply betrayed and will need to relearn how to trust if we are to ever recover from this experience.
