i don't know how if this is going to make any sense so I apologise firstly if it doesn't!
My husband betrayed me last year (beginnings of an ea..got caught etc!) after lots and lots of anger, talk, tears and confusion he is desperately working at keeping us together-I have good days and bad days and nothing yet is set in stone.
This thread isn't about whether I should ltb at all.
A friend reminded me that it would be my 5th wedding anniversary this year and were we doing anything special for it and it made me think that actually he broke those vows and promises he made to me just a mere 4 years ago so celebrating a 'marriage' seems a little sad to me.
I guess I hadn't been thinking about the long term things like that and been taking each day at a time but now it's made me wonder if I could ever bring myself to have an anniversary where I'm not thinking ' we made it to just 4 years and then he forgot he was married and had promised to love, respect and be loyal to me'
It feels a little like we're now in a relationship where we just happen to be legally married?
Maybe I'm over reacting but I didn't enter into the commitment of a marriage lightly and meant every vow I made.
I just wondered how anyone else got over this? If they felt that way-or maybe I'm the only one who thinks way too deeply into stuff!!
