Betrayal and Beyond

stuterri by stuterri Speaking(July 2007) (rank 500+)

After my husband betrayed me i wanted so much just to pack up and go.  I chose to stay and try to work things through these are only some of the things i went through in my head. my advice to others in this situation is to firstly decide what

you want to do and if the situation can be fixed. Also if you want to stay. In my case it has been fixed to a limit.

When i found out the man i loved had been unfaithful within 6 months of our marriage, I was ready to take my children, leave and never let him near me ever. I wanted to hit him and hit and yell and scream at her but i thought to myself that there was no point as it wouldn't change what had happened. I decided to stay and work through everything with him. I'm not saying that i have forgiven him and forgotton all together as it still hurts but i have moved on from it and i am trying to get my life back in order.

We take it one day at a time and i have days where i don't want to be touched and he understands this. We have also tried councelling but it isn't for us. Most days are pretty good and we have had absolutely no contact with her whatsoever. Some people thimk i'm crazy for staying but i don't want to just throw what we have away with the wind.

I think i am stronger as a person for staying rather than walking away it has been hard to deal with but we are doing just fine and slowly working through things. It just depends on who you are and how you react to certain situations. If you think leaving would be better for you then leave, but it wasn't for me.

Re: Betrayal and Beyond
Well good on you - it is a big thing to be able to stay with someone and forgive them and build on your life.  I have spoken to a few men that have betrayed, then realised what a huge mistake they have made.  I am not saying it is a good thing, however it doesn't necessarily have to be the end...  Once you have made the decision to stay, it is hard work, you both need to nurture each other and slowly build back the trust - good on you!

PS - Don't worry about the idiots that voted you down - it all evens out in the wash.  This is good advice, the choice to move forward and recover from this lies with you and you alone.
