[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I commend you on trying. Someone needs to tell you that you are already... HAVE already... been doing a lot. It takes a lot of work to stay and try to make it right again. So good job.

Second, it's only been 4 months. You're in a hellish place, my friend, and 4 months is very little time actually. It's perfectly normal for you to be boiling with rage or completely depressed over this. Seriously. Give yourself a break.

From my own experience, and the stories of many others, and my therapist's own words, it seems like it takes about a year to get off the ledge. And then at least another 4-6 months after that to actually notice the next step. And another 6 months to functioning intimacy and regained trust. Basically 2 years.  Hang in there.[/quote]

Do you think this is true for both physical and emotional affairs[/b]?  I am a DW and I am having a lot of trouble moving past my husband's emotional affair.  Mainly because he won't take any responsibility for doing something inappropriate.  It's been 7 months since I found out.[/quote]

A physical affair can be a drunken one-night stand but an emotional affair takes a lot of time, energy and emotion. So yes, I can see why you're having trouble moving past this. How long was your husband's EA?  Did he say "we're just friends" or did he admit some feelings for her?   Did he break it off?[/quote]
