[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure he isn't cheating on you or cheated on you and never told you? Sometimes the guilt of secret keeping males a person withdraw. Might not be true but my husband cheated and lied for years to me about it. Here I was thinking it was my fault or thinking he was acting strange but the truth came out. Just saying -- maybe perhaps you're looking at it wrong. Of course I could be wrong too. Please don't go asking your spouse about infidelity with guns blazing.[/quote]

OP here, and you nailed it. I started this thread over a year ago, and yes, since that time....a lot has happened, and ultimately after a lot of "trickle truth" he confessed to a long term affair (more than a fling) with a married mom we've known for years (works in same industry). We are doing much better, still in therapy, and he's grown up a lot. He is a lot more open, expressive, emotional, vulnerable, and I can't even believe the year we've had. A lot of ups and downs, and we aren't through yet, but things are out in the open, being dealt with, and better.

Did you guys reconcile or did you chose to move on? I didn't think I'd ever forgive infidelity, but we have kids and those roots of our several years together, which were happy and loving, are still there. He's been beyond great through the recovery, but it's been a long battle.[/quote]
