This post caught my eye and I wanted to chime in. I discovered my husband of 11 years was having an affair this summer. Our marriage was far from perfect, but the pain and humiliation was mind-boggling. We have an 8 year old daughter and I couldn't imagine how he could do this to her. Getting a divorce is bad enough, but adding the insult of infidelity to the mix is so hard. It puts us, the women, in the position of having to not say anything bad about our childrens' daddies, when the truth is that they chose sex with another person over vows and loyalty to their families. I am in the process of divorce that should be finalized in a month or so. It sucks, but you will survive. And your children will survive. They are remarkably resilient and can see the truth. Also, guilty men tend to be generous in their settlement agreements. Hope that holds true for you.
Best of luck.
