[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly the story you are looking for but... I caught my H cheating pregnant with my 2nd. He moved out but we reconciled after 8 months. I would have NEVER reconciled but i had an infant and toddler and thought, it's worth a try.

The next 2 years sucked but the 8 that followed were amazing. Then it started again, the weirdness and depression.

I told him to get therapy, he wouldn't so ... i waited and bam, the affair was revealed again.

He moved to the guest room, and I pretended to agree to reconcile after a year of therapy. he did intense therapy (he has PTSD) and it really helped him a lot, he became somewhat normal and a great father. but it was too much 2 affairs forget about it.

I asked for a divorce, he continued therapy for 3 more intense years.

Now he is a great dad, I'm very happy and we are extremely amicable... so much so it drives my friend crazy. I like him more than most people like their husbands.

Not exactly what you were looking for but one with a happy ending. [/quote]

So you are still married? Sounds like the affairs were a byproduct of his own mental health issues and not a referendum on you or the marriage. He was 'self-medicating'.  I am sure all of that therapy has made him a much better person overall.  You now see the warning signs--what he acts like just before or when he steps out. [/quote]

No divorced. But no animosity, we aren’t angry. We travel together to see the kids at college, do holidays together, etc.[/quote]
