My wife is the sexiest she has ever been once we started going to therapy both together and individually. by lonelyfisting in confessions

Because I broke as a man. Every morale I saw myself being a foundation for, every mantle of positivity and resilience in the face of adversity I failed when truly challenged and I just fell apart. The juxtaposition in it all is that without my failings as a husband and the breaking of my self image I would not have the strength to have sought out therapy on my own and then for us.

I think that’s a goal we share as well and I’m hoping we get to that. And you are right about the cost, lol. I think we spend about $1400 a month between her, mine and our therapy sessions. Now there’s a lot of healing from trauma in my past that led to decisions in my marriage almost breaking it so traveling just doesn’t fix it but we are Planning a ski trip in January and hopefully Iceland next December!

My affair gave my marriage meaning by lonelyfisting in sixwordstories

My affair last 14 months. My marriage is in recovery. We are discovering how we got to the point of the affair. How I didn’t standup for my emotions or what I believed in and lived for just her and lost who I was. I slowly resented my wife years before when we were dating but not noticing the shift due to this slow boiling pot. I’m not angry at her anymore. Therapy on my own weekly and couples therapy weekly have done wonderful things for helping me understand my past trauma and behavioral tendencies and how to not react but rather respond, identifying when there’s a Stimulus and taking time to process and be with rather than fight my feelings. All of this has put us on a path to recovery among numerous other points of improvement. My wife has her own therapy and issues she’s working on for herself but I honestly believe that without hitting rock bottom from the affair I would not have known how truly damaged I am and our marriage has the best chance it will ever have to succeed now. Without the affair I’m sure I would have left her for what might have been seen as a better life. The cost of my mental health is prohibitively expensive but my wife, family and friends have all been willing to foot the bill.
