[quote=Anonymous]My DH cheated and we’re two years post DD and in reconciliation. The anniversary of DD and other dates of significant cheating are still triggers for me. In the first year post DD, I didn’t want to do anything on those days (or listen to songs, travel to cities, eat a certain restaurants).

At some point I realized I was giving too much power to the affair and the past. DH and I agreed that we need to create a new print. Now we think of something we really like to do and specifically set it on a date or place that has a bad memory. We’re living the new story of our life now and creating new good memories. They do balance the old ones.

It has gotten better for me over time. And I was really traumatized learning DH was a sex addict.  I had PTSD like symptoms, severe anxiety, and eventually depression. I did  Individual therapy, couples therapy, trauma group, EMDR, SSRI medication, S Anon, journaling, CBT app, and meditation. After two years, I’m finally starting to feel like myself again and safe in my relationship. Hugs to you. It does get better over time and with some work. [/quote]
