[quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if I’ll ever be able to get to the other side.  I’ve really tried, done a ton of work, as has he, and many times I feel happy and even that we are in a much better place than before the affair.

However, the nagging doubts that he will be faithful long term.  The anger at being cast aside, the grief that I’ll never be able to say I had a faithful husband/marriage, the worry that the aging process will inevitably mean he wants someone younger, etc.  I do not  really know how to move through all of that.  And when will the bad dreams and intrusive thoughts, and comparing stop?  How to handle women openly being flirtatious toward him even if I’m there? (This one floors me- and it’s definitely not my imagination) FWIW we are in our 50s and kids in college. My husband is very attractive, fit, and successful.  I had a good career then stayed at home with the kids and supported his very intense career with a lot of work travel.  Just to flesh out the dynamic a bit.

Yes, I’m in therapy.

Advice welcome from others who’ve been in similar situations. [/quote]
