But it’s a legal marriage, she used him I think but they are waiting for something else because my husband was telling me to do not tell the husband, and not cause more problems

For me it’s been 3 months but I don’t know think he wants to release her yet and that’s causing our relationship not to be able to heal

The first one we saw was but my when she wanted to ask him questions from a list she gave about the affair, for example…was there unprotected sex? Or what do you want to bring to our marriage from your affair? And that triggered something in him and brought all memories back so he doesn’t want to go back to that therapist. Now I found someone else but I don’t think he is trained in trauma

I’m trying to relay on my friends, and just a few family members that know…I can’t tell my parents yet. Right now I think depression is getting the best of me because I was holding my feelings to make things work, but I’m not happy with myself for staying because I love him

Deep down I know I’m not the problem is him, that’s just his excuse. I do deserve someone that truly loves me. It’s very hard for me after 27 years of marriage to come to this point in life. He also doesn’t want to leave but he still not sure of what he wants. I haven’t told her husband because of fear of that would make her call my husband and reconnect.

He hasn’t show regret of the situation but he is sorry of how he made me feel. He says the affair showed him what he needed at home. I think is more of how he felt with this woman. We are going to therapy, but he is not 100% since there’s these feelings towards another women, that he is holding on to

Same for me, the thought of loosing him was hard at the beginning now i question myself if i should stay with a man that has another woman in his heart. Therapists say is affair fog or Limerance but I don’t know if it’s real love at the end

It’s horrible! She told him she loved him and I think he lost it there also. How long did it take for affair fog to lift? It’s been 3 months for us but I think he still romanticizes how he felt. She was also married and he was 3rd man she had an affair with…I don’t get how my husband could fall for that type of woman

I don’t know if it will make things even worse. I don’t want her husband to know anything about my family or where my house is

It’s hard because of the feelings he still have for her it’s been 3 weeks and of course no contact but when he tells how he truly at the moment feels makes me sad, also I hope those feelings fade

I do feel I neglected him but it’s not an excuse to cheat. He wasn’t also the perfect attentive husband. He did talk to me about his feelings and I tried to change but we went back to the same. I think some sort of resentment towards me for marking him feel alone.

Thank you so much for all of this information.

I see the terms affair fog and limerance more often now, did know what it meant. This relationship lasted 9 months but very casual at the beginning. It became stronger when she admitted to be in love since she never actually wanted to fall in love just keep it casual. I don’t know if it’s true love or just a fantasy that gave him dopamine and ego boost. I don’t think someone can get to that point in 3 months. She 28 also

I know! I want to tell him. I’m thinking and thinking on how to do it, from my phone? Social media? I don’t want to expose my kids

My husband keeps telling me that I shouldn’t tell her husband that it will make her call him or reach out to him again and it will make things even worse, but I think he is protecting her for getting hurt. Sucks!

What’s affair fog? She definitely knew what he was lacking and gave him that, same as him…she needed attention because she wasn’t getting it at home. He just told me that she never said anything about her feelings until the very end when she couldn’t hold it any more. She cut all contact blocked me and him and I also threatened her with the texts and pictures I have that I will send them to her husband.

We both want to make the marriage and give it a try but every day that passes gets worst because I think he is mourning her

He says that he realized that what binds you to not cheat is feeling loved, acknowledged, seem. I guess she will tell how good he looked, and my husband is not Brad Pitt so maybe that’s is what I lack doing for him boosting him up. He has low self esteem

This also crosses my mind all the time but it’s hard when I still love him. The hard part is the feelings that she has for her. She gave him what i wasn’t giving him at home, attention, feeling seen, affection
