[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again. Really can't thank you all enough. I plan to read this thread lots of times because I think different points will stick out to me at different times as some of the shock wears off and life settles in.

He is very committed to being a dad and I plan to encourage that even more. One of the reasons I don't want to leave and move home with my parents or something is that I think the kids need him daily, and he needs them too.

I will think about hobbies/interests/getting my career thoughts and plans in order. Good advice.

It's good to know others have gone through this and stayed together. I feel like it's much more common to hear about cheating+divorce so just knowing that cheating+working it out is also common helps normalize my choice. Thank you.[/quote]

Two year affair poster here - I agree with your therapist - it is more common than we think. Not saying everyone goes through this, but we aren't the first.

Staying is the right choice for now. Take care of yourself, and don't be afraid to rely on others for help, but this is the time where you learn what you are made of, and moving home with your parents would be easy. You can do this! No matter what happens, you can. Keep posting back, I've found a lot of support online. I prefer this to something like "surviving infidelity" since that just seems overwhelming to me. The risk here is that some people can be nasty, but oh well, I've also found a lot of support. [/quote]
