Long time lurker who has taken some amazing advice from this site. Never thought this would be me and it seems I'm not alone...husband of 25 years has been having an affair. Tale as old as time, he felt we had grown apart, he's got some problems to address, felt I had not been supportive etc etc,.

The affair was discovered in July, I won't go into detail but it was obviously a massive shock. I always thought we were unbreakable - been through a lot of 'life' (illness, miscarriages, other family stress that I can't go into) suffice to say I have been carrying the load alone for some time. Many background details I don't feel comfortable sharing on here so apologies for the half story but my belief is that I was/am a good person, and I am devastated.

Long story short, I felt we were worth fighting for and we (well, I) have tried. I can't do it anymore, I feel broken and so alone. Please tell me it gets better with time?

It won’t always feel like this. It will get better. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this.

Sorry you're feeling so sad.

If you've decided you're done, maybe start taking those first steps towards divorce. It might help you to feel like you're taking control of your life again.

Things will get better.
