[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been married over 20 years since he cheated.  We had small children, and I was young and scared so I stuck to our marriage.  I am thankful I did, because he's a wonderful dad and husband who made a very bad mistake.  It's still painful if I really sit and think about it, but honestly, unless a question like this comes up, I pretty much never think of it.  I would say it took a good 3-4 years to get to that point, though, with the pain subsiding for the most part after a year or so.  We went to therapy for a few months, but I didn't find that too helpful.  Time, apologies and building back trust was the best medicine.  Good luck!![/quote]

Was it a one time thing or a long affair?[/quote]

It went on for several months, while I was pregnant until just before I gave birth, if I remember right.[/quote]

What was your husband's rationale for cheating?[/quote]

We were young.  He was stupid.  ;)  Honestly, at this point, I can't remember the reasons he gave, I'm sorry.  But that just shows how insignificant such a huge-at-the-time thing is in a 26 year marriage.[/quote]
