KarenMP I couldn't have said it any better than you did. I feel exactly the same way. My H is ending his affair and we are starting joint counceling Monday with a DB therapist. We have been seeing her separatley for 4 months now while my H worked through his mental illness as I call it. After 30 years there was no way I was going to just let him walk out the door. Thanks to Michele and this board he is saying I Love You again and telling me all his happy plans for our future together.
This forum is going to give me a special place to come to during the next few months. Our case seems so texbook and that helps me feel and I think him now to know that many others have gone through the same thing and come out the other side happier than ever. That is what we want too and I think we will get there.
