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...
I took responsibility for my share of the breakdown in our intimacy. I was hyper-aware of doing whatever was needed to reestablish that intimacy and being "husband of the year"! At least if things didn't work out, I would know that I gave it my all.
I also spent the past 3 years working on me (as much as our marriage) so that I could be a better person.
Oh, and lastly, she had to get a STD test, with me there, to make sure the gyno knew what I wanted done and why.
Regardless of what some people say, the answer is and always will be NO!
You will find there will always be triggers. Smells, sounds, TV ads.
One thing that kills me is when she told me... ready for this?
It's not like we had sex, he wore a condom. WTF??? So that means if I have revenge sex with a condom, it really was not sex.... right?
So, every time I see a Trojan ad or commercial, I relive that moment.
My therapist flat out told me the things she did will never go away. I need to choose to accept it or move on. Right now I am stuck in the middle and I am deciding which way I need to go. There are days where I want to go left, but there are more days where I want to go right.
I feel the hurt you are going thru. We all do. I wish you well in this journey, and do remember, we are here for each other. It really does help to talk and get some of this off of your mind, even for a few minutes.
Her and I were intimate the same day I found out. Though, it wasn't a "lovely, kissing, holding" type of thing....more like a venting for me. I was pissed off, hurt, and I needed to just F something. It's been like that ever since. Before we used to snug afterwards, say "I love you"...but now I just want to shower and find another room to be in as soon as it's over. She doesn't say anything about how it's changed. I figured that it's just temp and I'll warm up eventually, but I' still cold. My other option is to cheat...and I just can't do it.
