[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you want him to be accountable to people other than you. I can sympathize with those feelings, and totally understand backing off from his family because you don't know how to behave around them. However, I think that your DH is right - you can't repack that box, and if what you are going for is reconciliation and repairing your marriage, I think that it's probably best to keep that work between the two of you. I think it's great that you have found people to confide in and that you are getting that support. It doesn't sound like you will get support from DH's family - and honestly, I don't think it's right to expect that. He is their son, and while he clearly screwed up big time, it doesn't sound like what he did would be an unforgivable offense in his family. I would focus on other ways that you can rebuild things with your husband. It sounds like you want him to hurt the way you are hurting but do not believe him when he tells you that he is hurting. Accountability in this situation is different from vengeance. [/quote]
