My new life


  Im a mother of 5 who is married to a man that i love dearly. I just found out recently that he was having an affair and it has destroyed me. Im trying to work this out with him but when all you can think about is that i was at home dealing with the kids,going through recovery from surgery , my husband was with an 18 year old girl. I no longer know who I am, who he is and what is going to become of me and our family. Now im left with confusion, and paranoia and resentment. How do you pick up the pieces and forgive and forget? Is it even possible?

Yes it is possible. I have a friend who went through the same thing. Her husband felt terrified by her illness and did the stupidist thing of his life. I told her that I have always believed that if there was deep love and passion at the beginning of a relationship it is possible to get it back. Your husband has shown weakness, you have had to be strong. The hurt will go away eventually I promise. I really feel for you but I believe there is hope. You won't forget, but you can forgive provided he wants your forgiveness. Only you know if he's worth it. I hope he is, cause it's going to be tough, but it is possible. Sleep well - time is the greatest healer in this case.

Wow. I'm really sorry. Confusion, paranoia and resentment all sound like appropriate responses to the discovery you've made in your marriage. I'm really impressed by the strength in character you are displaying by trying to work it out with him. Only you can decide... with him if it's even possible to pick up the pieces and move forward. And that my dear will take some time. How do you forget? I don't think you ever do. It just hurts less over time. It's what you do with it... that determines your future. Will you take this experience and grow stronger as a person? Or will you let it destroy you and beat you down? Only you can decide that!! Whether he's part of your future or not... has nothing to do with using this experience to make your "new life" a better one for you. Forgiving...will come in time...for you..not for him...forgiving because everyone falls short..forgiving because we all have the capacity to hurt each other..forgiving because...if we don't..it will eat us up inside. But if it takes years...to forgive..then it takes..years.
