[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s OK to leave your husband at any time in this process.  The truth is that what you want is completely reasonable - a sense of remorse for the hurt he’s caused you as opposed to the hurt he’s experienced as a result of his own actions, some sense that he knows why he did it so he knows how not to do it again, transparency about the past and in the future, a sincere apology, and a long periods of acts on his part that show he is rebuilding and re-earning your trust in him.

But, the truth is that the same character qualities that lead a partner to cheat also lead a partner to be unable to do any of the above.

Add to that that individual counseling or psychotherapy in this issue (infidelity) is generally of very poor quality, well, the odds are extremely slim that your relationship will come back to a healthy place.

I’m sorry. Please get yourself an individual counselor who understands PTSD.

He is actually doing all of these things except the knowing why he did it. He is trying daily and weekly to do better. He just keeps asking when can we get over this and go back to normal and I'm wondering why he doesn't see that the process has just begun. We are far from being on a healthy path yet.[/quote]
