Today is the 1-year mark for me finding out that my husband and my best friend were having an affair. I thought the pain would be less by now. We were separated, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be forever, or that he would stray. He had not been working and the financial stress was so much that is why I left. Thinking maybe something would change. It certainly did. My friend who always told me she didn't know how I could deal with him; decided she wanted to give it a try.
