[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short version of my long story is that my husband and I have been married for 12 years, have two small children, and he had a year-long affair that ended last year.  He also had a one-night stand cheating episode right when we started dating, years before marriage, which I chalked up to a stupid mistake.

The things that attracted me to my husband were his supportive nature and love of family.  I thought he was a very good, loving person.  But that perception has been shattered by his affair.  In marriage counseling, the therapist keeps telling us to try to reconnect with what brought us together, but my reasons seen unreal now.  My husband does seem very remorseful (after being a jerk for about six months after I discovered the affair).  I guess he snapped out of it.  But I can't just snap out of feeling that my feelings are broken.  It's not like our core attraction was based on shared interests; my attraction was to someone stable and loving.  I really loved that about him.

Anyone overcome this broken feeling?  I don't hate him and I do love him, but it's really not the same.

Do you think if you had taken that one night stand a little more seriously it would have made a difference now. It seems like it was a red flag that was ignored during the thralls of early dating.[/quote]
