Feeling really desperate

I have posted on other threads and had my own about revenge affairs but I am struggling so much I need to talk to someone in the same boat. My husband cheated with a colleague five months ago, he drove to her house twice and had sex with her. I have looked her up on facebook, she is not particularly attractive, looks intelligent though and normal enough, I just keep obsessing over why she would do this. After lots of counselling and talking, I have his ideas on what happened for him but for her I just don't get it. She is older, has a good job, very educated , why would she knowingly wreck my life?

I do know this is all about him choosing to do it I just find this anger towards her harder to deal with , I suppose because his life is as wrecked as mine, I think he has and is being punished but she has just walked away and nothing has changed.

Anyone know how to stop obsessing ? What if I bump into her one day or see her name somewhere like she is a friend of a friend or something like that on facebook? I don't think I could cope. Please be nice, I am feeling really down I think I feel worse than I did initially. I can't bear the thought of feeling like this for years and it never being gone.

Yes I can see the sn element is a factor, my dh felt I wasn't interested in him and regretted marrying him. I did at times as found him very frustrating, I was unhappy with my life which was very hard and taking it out on him. Thing is I had it as hard as him but didn't have the bloody time or energy to have an affair so it makes me angrier.

Blimey merlincat, your bitch experience trumps them all. She mopped up your tears and you trusted her and supported her through HER breakup and then shags the very person that is most precious to you! Quite astounding behaviour, verging on the pathological.

My 'friend' and I also exchanged confidences about our respective DH's and I took her flowers and chocs round when she was having problems, unaware she was texting my DH frantically by this time...
