Infidelity Support Group

Any relationship in which one partner engages willfully in sexual relations with another outside of the partnership is considered to have experienced infidelity. This breach of trust is often traumatizing for the faithful partner as well as the relationship, and support is often needed to heal emotionally and to decide whether or not the relationship should continue after...

It is the time of year when we look at what all we are thankful for. I know sometimes it is hard to see the positives but there are always positives as negatives in life. Lets take a look at some positives!!!

Please let me know what you are thankful for.

I am thankful for my son and the love that he shows for me everyday.
I am thankful for my wife and the love she shows me for.
I am very thankful for God and all that he has given me.
I am thankful for the life I have and all of the changes that are happening and moving back to my home town to be around my family and my wife's family for a couple years.
I am thankful for the progress that I have made over the last year, I think I am a long way from the happiness that I had before the affair but that I am also made so many improvements that I see the future as getting better and better.
I am very very thankful for finding strength to stay with my wife after her affair.
I am thankful that we are still a family.
Thankful that we are working to improve our marriage and that things most days seem to be looking up.
I am thankful for all of the positives that I have in my life. That I have food to eat, shelter for my family, that I have good friends and a huge support system of people that care so much for me, for my wife, and for my family.
I am thankful for this life!!!! All that it may be.

I apologize to those that are reconciling through infidelity, i believe it is possible and that in many cases it is the "right thing" for the marriage and family.

I am sorry if I struck a nerve or close to a wound that is healing.

Refurb, I hope some day you can heal yourself and dump the rage, as it only hurts you and your kids. No one can change another person or their actions we can only be responsible for ourselves and the way we handle what others dish out for our own best interest.

Jason, we all need things to be thankful for in our lives. We need positive things to look forward to and back on.

I am thankful that I have had this opportunity to become a stronger person and learn about myself and how I handle adversity.
I am thankful that hard work pays off when changing habits.
I am thankful that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, good health and warm family.
I am thankful that I raised a good son who is respectful and loving.
I am thankful that I now know I can live through pain and not let it eat me alive.

I am thankful to daily strength. DS had given me the unique opportunity to see every side of this situation. I've been able to see varying views and perspectives which has given me compassion and empathy for my husband and the struggle I know he has gone through.

I am thankful for my son's sobriety, my other sons choices like joining the military. I am thankful for the health of my family, God's grace and guidance, and my husband's work ethics for keeping us clothed and fed.

I am thankful for posts like this.

I, too, am thankful for DS- i know i have made strides in my healing because of all of the support, encouragement found here.
I am so thankful for another day, for the health of my children, the love of my family and friends. The love of my husband and the life we have built. I am thankful for the strength that God has given me to stay and fight for my marriage, the strength to pull me through another day.
I am so thankful for all of those little things we often take for granted.
Those things we may not even think about - the gift of sight- hearing, touch... Oh my gosh... The list is endless, isn't it!?!
I am blessed in so many ways!

I am thankful for the life I once had and now for the one I am going to embark on. I am equally scared and energized by the prospect of one day falling in love again... no time soon ;).
I am thankful for my beautiful children and hope they will one day forgive me for divorce.
I am thankful for my CS, she is not the devil and she deservws happiness too.
