I never imagined I'd ever think about a divorce from my husband.
Unfortunately, I discovered my husband's infidelity the day after my 49th birthday on October 9, 2006. This 5-year affair (3 years sexual, 2 years non-sexual) has left me feeling so betrayed. Not only did he break my heart, he discussed our sex life with her. I feel so betrayed and disrespected. I never discussed our sex life with anyone and to talk to this woman is humiliating. Lie upon lie has left me so distrusting. I can't believe I have been with this man for 23 years (married 15.5 years). If I had known this five years ago, I would not be sending this message. He has maintained contact with her since October, the last time was as recent as 3/9/07. I'm graduating in June with my AA degree in Paralegal Studies. I welcome the opportunity to separate myself from this situation, but we have two little girls. My life has changed so much in the last six months, I never imagined I'd ever think about a divorce from my husband. But this has left me so hurt, it seems like my only option.
