This. I went through a 2 year period of grieving that I would never have the relationship/marriage I had dreamed of. That part is really hard - starting a new family wasn’t an option for me, so even if I left I couldn’t have the devoted husband and father of my kids. That was gone forever. Took a long time to grieve that.

I never really got over it. The feelings still pop up as if it was day 1, although it happens less. Now I’m jaded and cynical about relationships. I don’t prioritize my marriage anymore, I focus on what makes me happy. I don’t really know how to explain it other than something in my brain snapped and now marriage just isn’t a priority. We still have a relationship, still together, we put on a show, but I just don’t see him the same way anymore.

He cheated while I was pregnant and postpartum with our first DC. For me, that time was so magical, and when I found out later it just tainted the whole thing. So now I don’t even like thinking about that time of my life. [/quote]
