H's affair with co worker started last June and was disvovered the first week. Didn't end on discovery, rather went on and off until September. Heavy withdrawl anytime it was off during that time. Ended completly in October, no special withdrawl symptons then. Recovery since then, that really felt much better in December. Things are great now, and we intend to work as hard as it takes on our marriage to keep them that way.

OK I'll bite,

Male, 39

Small business owner. I put the company first and above my second marriage and loving wife. Worked long hours and the like.

First marriage, Betrayer. First worst mistake I ever made. Was a real a$$hole. I will never take this path again. EVER!

Second marriage, Betrayed. Second worst mistake I ever made. Was a real a$$hole.
See above. I put the ambulance service before my wife and personal life. Was a real a$$hole. Alcoholism enters picture for me. A little too much stress. More that I bargained for. Business is doing great, big whoop, I have no one special to share it with. The kids are too young to appreciate the success, not to exclude them, they will get it some day.

Married for over four years at her start of emotional affair, or so I'm told. We've been together since she graduated high school, ten years ago. She was a virgin.

Two great boys I couldn't be more proud of, ages 18 and 14 from first marriage. Current W can't have kids because of Tetrology of Fallot. Bad heart problems would probably not survive delivery.

Had the American dream of being secure in old age. I did not realize that I would be alone sitting on Virgina Beach because of my behavior.

Finding out too late in life that I was the problem and not the solution.

Medic

A line from Animal House comes to mind. "Hey ya f*****d up...You trusted us ...Try to make the best of it".

Sorry, just feeling very down right now. I miss my Valerie.

-Affair revealed to me April 99, H moved out May 99, I moved to another state July 99. H wants divorce and is probably working on that now. I don't know if he's still involved or not, my guess is yes. H calls our daughter to ask how I'm doing. I've only had 1 conversation with him since July 8th. I'm hanging in there but hurting alot.

love WAS blind

competent, lovely woman
betrayed (and cyber betrayer)
married 2 1/2 years
his affair lasted 9+ months before discovery, and MAYBE ended last month..so, 2 years, total.
she was a coworker in a bad relationship, and he got her a job with him. he later quit, and though i begged him not to, he hired her again, and ended up living with her for several months without my knowledge. I suspect he still is, but he is claiming he wants me back. still rarely comes home.

- Female
- Age 39 (will be 40 on 8/26)
- Betrayed
- Together 4 yrs before being married in 1989
- Married 3 years when H admitted first affair (it was already over by then) ... I was in a depressed state during that time period and he accepted the attention of the 1st OW due to believing I didn't love him anymore.
- Didn't get counselling and didn't deal with the problems surrounding the first affair (yeah, I know - DUMB!)
- Married 9 years when this affair came to light - OW got drunk, tried to physically attack me and then left a message on my answering machine about how she was sleeping with my H. Confronted with this, he admitted it and announced his intention to move out.
- I was diagnosed with mild clinical depression, began anti-depressant treatment and began Plan A in October 1998
- H moved out in mid November 1998.
- I feel we have been making baby steps forward since then, even though slug apparently moved in with him sometime around or after Christmas.
- Most recently, I have been told by a couple of people that my H is miserable in his relationship, and I believe him to be depressed.
- Still in Plan A and going strong (likely because he is not living with me), having fun with friends and with H when I have the opportunity
- Have become a more confident, secure and healthy "me"...
