It doesn't make me "feel better", but the reality is it can be over come. It did take counseling and a lot of time. We lived separate lives in the same house while working through it. And this to me is normal and average. Life is not always the puppies, rainbows, and bubbles that everyone wishes it was. Sometimes it's muddy gloves and dirt. And it's okay. It hurts like hell, but it's not worth throwing everything away for. This is my point: we are not special, and we over came it. And we curl up happy now because we overcame it. It has a lot to do with vows, with a commitment above all else.

Is it better to throw everything away because one person made a mistake? So many folks on here are either secretly cheating, or emotionally cheating by being hateful, passive aggressive, or resentful. To me, neither party in these examples can take the high road. Everyone can pick their poison, it doesn't make it more right if you step out emotionally or physically. People who would never cheat do their own damage by withdrawing, being angry, etc. etc. and hen qualify themselves that "at least they didn't". Really? What's the difference? A marriage is about two people. And if you hurt the other, no mater, you have to do the work to get it together. [/quote]

You have many solid points and make a lot of sense and I exhort you to ignore the sanctimonious rantings of that person. The fact is that we all have our failures, personally and in relationships, each provides us an opportunity for growth. [/quote]
