    He's worried that YOU won't get over it?!..so that sounds to me like he's long past it, and is hoping you are too...
    I was blindsided by a cheating husband...had no clue he was 'doing' the neighbour lady two doors down..........divorced his butt!...yuck!

    Dear TIAT,

    I agree with Judy54. He only has the power you are giving him. It's time to show him that YOU are setting boundaries and limits. You need to protect yourself legally and emotionally.( I know how hard it is. I was married for 26 years when I found out about my husband's affair -a year ago today, as a matter of fact. We're still married but it's a work in progress.) Keep up with the counseling even if it's just you attending. It's time for some constructive anger. And the key word is constructive.

      Thanks so much! We were supposed to "talk" tonight buts my youngest daughter came home from college so he' s not called. Another day lost. I talked to him on the phone on Tues but only because I called. He says he loves me but can't live with me like things were. He said I'm afraid you'll never get over it....I said I didn't know either. He thinks(without saying) I should be " over it"! Thanks for letting me vent

      It depends on what story you read. But, I will tell you, there are plenty of men that would love to have a person like you, you deserve better.

    My story is similar to yours. Together 30+ years. Married 25 years. 2 adult daughters. Serial cheating husband + more.

    My advise is it is time to get a lawyer. They will get the process moving whether your husband wants it or not. Get all the evidence you can on the adultery. You may need it if you can't agree to a settlement and the case goes to court before a judge.

    I would also encourage therapy, divorce support groups, family, friends. You are going to need all the support you can get.

    When your husband discovers you have filed, that is usually when the war begins. Make sure you have money on hand that you may need. Once you file, your lawyer should be able to secure/ freeze accounts so your husband can't just go empty them.

    I wish I could tell you that your husband will change, but he has proven to you that he won't. You have done all you can do.

    My heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you the best.
