People keep telling me to get angry, buck up, etc about my husband of 27 years I caught cheating 3 weeks ago. I'm crying lots still and going over ans over the flashbacks of the day I saw them and thr lies he told me. Swearing on my kids lives he wasn't cheating. Me having to go for sti checks. I can't just get angry. Im still on shock. People are getting fed up of me irl I thjnk. He moved out and I've filed for divorce. His mother thinks I've been a bit rash in filing so quickly but I can't get over the lengths he went to to cover up his affair. Even shouting at me for being paranoid ans blaming my meds. I can't shake off the shock.

Are you letting him come to your house to see them? I wouldn't be having that - even if he can't have them overnight at his mum's, he can take them there to spend time with them.

He collects them from elsewhere not my home. But as I say he's disney dad atm
Ice cream here..Mcdonald there....nothing too difficult. Not doing the hard graft.

The anger will come. It may not even be focused on the affair. The affair will only be one of the things wrong with your marriage.

my own anger stage was sparked by something small that I found out my XH had done years before. It was just so indicative of the core reasons I could never trust him or rely on him that it was what finally got me angry.

Felt brief anger when I kicked him out then it became shock and extreme sadness and fear
