[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that survived cheating, are we talking about a one-off occurrence, perhaps 2?  Or an affair of some duration (1 month, 6 months, a year, etc)?[/quote]

My DW had an extra marital affair for over 4 months.  After long discussions, we decided for marital counseling because we did have a genuine love between us and for the kids.  It has been difficult because my DW was first open to marital counseling but was afraid to address the issues.  It has worked in an open forum to address the issues we had and I do not regret my decision because I do love her on an "emotional" level.  The real difficult part was the feelings she was dealing with during the extra marital affair and the lies she said that impact our family and kids.  Marriage is hard but I know (and have faith) that our relationship will be stronger.  I have learned a lot about my DW after I healed over the AP.  [/quote]

Are you still in counseling? How long have you been in counseling (or were you)?

Still in counseling.  It has been over 6 months of intense marital counseling first a month by myself until my DW by her choice starting coming.  One of the biggest eye openers was that I could not fix my marriage alone.  My DW had to be willing to open up to all the counseling (the good and the bad action of the consequences) to come to an understanding of what as a couple we need to work on to be successful.  It was difficult at the start but an eye opening to understand the importance of the emotional connection with the DW and to have alone time with her as well.  With busy schedules of work and kids, priority for the wife has to be first.  I have faith my DW and I will be fine but it takes a lot of hard work.  [/quote]
