[quote=Anonymous]I went through something similar, OP, and it is "hysterical" sex, as they say. As betrayed and mistrustful and angry as I was, we had frequent very intense sex in the early phase after I found out about his deceptions and unfaithfulness. He confessed to me without me asking, and his issues were complex and had been going on for a long time.

The intense hysterical sex phase calms down after a while, but if you are comfortable separating sex from the emotional process, it serves as a positive, comforting bond between you as you work through the painful parts of the broken trust, issues involved, and trying to figure out how and whether to rebuild the emotional relationship.

I found that as much as I wished I didn't, I did still love him. He was and is remorseful and is working very hard in his therapy to make major changes. I couldn't be here without him doing this work.

I take it day by day. You will find you have stages of emotions to go through, not all that different from the stages of grief, in a way. And it takes a long time to work on rebuilding trust, as well as to let the anger and hurt out of your system so you can move forward. Why give up the amazing consolation of sex, in the meantime? I agree, OP. [/quote]
