[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is pretty depressing.  My husband had an affair that ended back in the summer and I am trying to work on things and stay together because we have little kids and I feel like he and the kids are my family.  We have been together 20 years.  I don't know if we are going to make it because he just seems completely unable to realize that he is at fault for at least 50% of our problems before the affair, and he just seems to want to dwell on my perceived shortcomings.  It's insane, and I think he really feels justified in having the affair though he cries and says he is remorseful and ashamed.  I don't want a divorce or to split custody, etc., but I don't think I can live forever in this world of his where all that needs to happen is for me to be more nurturing (long story, but I can be emotionally distant at times - coping mechanism I learned growing up in a completely batshit family).  Luckily, I make enough money to be okay, though not flush, if we part ways.

I want to believe there can be a happy ending.  I hope there are some posters who can provide hope.[/quote]

Don't really have any advice here but it sounds like you are going through hell.  Hope you are taking care of yourself and whatever you decide to do, resolve it in the near term or you will be wasting energy on indecision.[/quote]
