m 15 years ihave 4 kids here is my story. 5years ago my w told me she had a affair a month later she told me she had been abused as a child and that it was rape not a affair that she was just looking 4 a friend. she tryed 2 make things work between us but i couldnt let go of what happened. it made me a person that i didnt even like i was full of hate and vary unhappy.everyone would tell me i had to forgive the guy that raped my wife. how do u do that? it made me mad that my w went looking for a friend.it made my life a living hell my w got sick of talking about it with me.this made things even worst i felt like i had no one to talk to or that even cared.then about a year ago someone did start to listen to me a girl at work which lead to a 2 week affair.after that i had new worries which took the focus off the past.but i was already in some bad pattern with my wife.for example when she did something that hurt my feelings or made me mad.i didnt want to talk about or bring up up the pastso i would not say anything some times for days.sometimes this would work but there where alot of times it didnt and the past would be pulled in again.2 months ago she told me she had had enough and that she just didnt love me any more.i started going 2 a counselor thats how i found out about db and things started to get a little better.but i knew i couldnt fix things with my secret so a month ago i told her of my affair.it almost made things beter for a couple weeks.then 2 weeks ago she moved out and filed for d.now im alone and need help im still seeing my counselor and talking to a dbc but it is the time in between i would like some help with

Is your W in any kind of IC? Is there a chance that she would consider MC with you? Just from what you have written there seems to be a lot of issues on both sides that have contributed to the breakdown of the M.

Sorry you have to be here but this is the best place to be if you are looking for help.

Wow, some wild stuff there. Did you all prosecute the "friend"? How old is everybody, where is she living? Is there any contact between you guys? Who is taking care of the children?

idk, you're up against a lot, but one step, one day (sometimes one minute) at a time and you will make progress. I know how you feel about finding db sooner. I sure wish I found it sooner (I stumbled across it 6 mos after W left), but I found it. And so did you. That's what's important.. And so far, I don't think any S's have dropped the Bomb and a copy of DR at the same time. smile

Crash-coursing helped me immensely: read, read, read. Read these posts. Read DR, What Works Thread, Film Study Thread, the books you see mentioned on this forum, Go back and read this forum from months back. Find the many, many common threads, axioms and wisdom and realize they're common and prevalent for a reason: they're true.

I hope I'm not sounding strident, here, just you-can-do-it insistent. I've been here only 2 weeks and it has changed my life (and my sitch). Literally.

Get going. We're all here.

Whatever happens, these techniques are for you, you will be better off, if you embrace them.
