This is difficult but you're also doing what's right for you and for that you are a hero. Be strong. Be brave. Hold your head up high tomorrow and dont let him see you cry. You've shed enough tears for him already. Think of it as the start of a new chapter in your life with exciting things to come.

May God keep you in his loving grace.

Support Groups
Close Infidelity
My husband starting having telephone conversation with another woman over a five month period of time.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- Crying Too Soon to Tell
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Prayer Working / Worked
- In the beginning of my crisis, I cried out to God from the bottom of my soul. I tried to depend on Him and to seek refuge through prayer. At first, it seemed as if He didn't hear my prayers. Later, I realized that thou it seemed as if the Lord was standing afar off - he was always a very present help.
Close Anxiety
On December 5th, I found out that my husband had been conversing with a young lady fifteen years younger than him. This began after a car accident and he had to go to a chiropractor for therapy. This young lady works at the chiropractor's office. The "relationship" was only phone conversation, but it went from just a few talks a week to a few talks each day (morning, noon, and night). Though there was no dating or physical relationship, it consumed me like a cancer.
Treatments
- Ativan Somewhat Helpful
- I was unable to eat, sleep, and basically function for more than a month.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Prayer, reading the Word (bible), daily devotion, and journaling are my sources of strength during this difficult time. They help me to keep things in the proper perspective ~ though at times I miss the mark.
Open Depression
I just found out that my husband was sleeping with another woman. This was after thinking that we were working things out. I had forgiven and fallem back in love with him. Now he says that he doesn't want to be married any more and I'm completely devastated. I can't eat, sleep, and am completely consumed with him/the relationship-not good. I'm seeking help to accept what I haven't been able to accept and to pull myself up from the place I'm in - severely depressed!
Treatments
- Zoloft Considering
- Just met with a psychotherapist yesterday and she recommended talking to my doctor about taking an antidepressant.
