AlexN, I too am interested in hearing form Ginny about p-t stress, but I did want to step in here briefly. Shortly after d-day and the end of my h's affair, I began having some pain or discomfort in my mouth (I don't remember the specifics.) I went to see our dentist whose wife was one of the people I had spokent with about h's affair. He told me that I had been grinding or clenching my teeth at night and that this is very common response to this kind of experience.
As soon as he told me, I realized that, while lying awake watching my h sleep like a baby, I had been clenching my teeth (among other things.) Once I was made aware of it, it was fairly easy to stop because I wasn't sleeping much those days anyway.
