Hi EastTN, sorry to see you're here.

This is a great board with differing view points, but all intended to help you take positive steps in the right direction.

The best thing you can do is take care of you and your D. I can't stress enough to GAL. The best part of DB and this site, for me, was understanding that I wasn't taking care of me and that I needed to start doing that.

What do you want from your marriage? If you don't think it's possible for you to forgive and trust again, what are you trying to save? These are key components to a solid foundation. I've been down this road more than once with the same person. I forgave - just never trusted again. It's not an easy path and ultimately I'm back at the same place anyway. Having a spouse cheat on you is the ultimate betrayal. It's disrespect at its highest form.

Everyone is different on what they can forgive, but I'd suggest you think about what kind of life you want to be living. What's going to make you happy? Start with you and worry about the rest as it comes.
