[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s OP again. Thank you for thinking of me. It’s been a shit show around here—very stressful and tense for everyone, even the dogs are on edge.  I have met with a lawyer and tried to map out what separation/divorce would look like and also started therapy. I have good days and bad days, but am just trying to keep moving forward!  It’s a very stressful time at work as well, due to some organizational changes, so that is weirdly helping me compartmentalize my stress.  Divorce sounds terrible—for the kids and finances—so I’m leaning towards staying, but I still feel paralyzed with betrayal and indecision.  This is a situation I would never wish on anyone.[/quote]

You may not like what I'm saying but believe me that I am saying this out of the place of wanting to comfort you.  Right now it seems like it's uniquely and hugely painful and like no one ever lived through this.  Yet a large, large, very large proportion of marriages deals with infidelity at some point, and many survive and get over it.  Look around you and assume that a large percentage of people you see on metro, on the street, at your office, at the next restaurant have dealt with this.  It's very, very common. So a situation you never wish on anyone has been experienced by vast numbers of people who usually survive just fine.  It's tough but very survivable.[/quote]
