[quote=Anonymous]I can describe my husband's EA to the extent that I know about it.

We had been married for a little over 3 years and decided to try to have a baby (we had always wanted them, waited for career reasons, etc.) Got pregnant, had a miscarriage. He handled it... poorly. Behavior was that of a very depressed person - didn't enjoy his typical hobbies, generally low/unhappy, started trying all kinds of new "activities", which included happy hours with coworkers that lasted all through the night. During these happy hours, he started talking to a female coworker and they became close. He would confess to her the problems we were having in our marriage, because he felt that I was not being supportive of him during the miscarriage aftermath. She is supportive of him, listens to him, is a distraction for him... while I am just a reminder of what he has lost. This grows into spending more and more time together at work and outside of work, and texting. I do not know the full extent of this but the amount that I do know... it was a lot.

In a weird way, I sort of get it. During the year + this dragged on and then turned into a whole different problem in our marriage that we were never able to overcome, it was the absolute loneliest time of my life. I have never ever felt so alone, despite having friends, family and a husband. I wanted so badly to feel loved and appreciated. If some man had come along that I connected with in ANY way, I can see how people get wrapped in it. When you are at your lowest point, a place that you never thought you would be, and someone offers you an escape, it is extremely hard not to take it. [/quote]
