Thought I was the baby here until Latrice posted.
Age 26
Married 2 yrs.

Wife was involved with an old friend, was physical only one night(at least that is what she tells me) We are together and working on our marriage, and going to couseling, things seem to be better but its still a rollercoaster of emotions. I know that no marriage is perfect but my dreams of having something pretty close was shattered along with my heart. I know that God has something special planned for my W and I, We just have to be patient and work together with God to make our marriage something that we both never imagined.

God Bless all of You.

Awwright, awwright. I give in.

Male.
Age= almost 45
Betrayed ca. 1984-90, betrayer ca. 1998.
Married 21 years to Suse. Have been together for 24, almost 25 years.
Suse had an affair after 6 years of marriage, due mostly to my emotional distance. I had one after 20 years of marriage due mostly to her emotional distance.
Two sons, 11 and 6.
Her affair was off/on for 6 years. Mine was brief, one month. I was seriously into internet chat for 2 years, unbeknownst to Suse.
We're now doing fabulously 1 year after my infidelity. We're very lucky.

discovered H affair and confronted him 3/18/99
went to marriage counseling since he told the counselor he couldn't give OW up we went separately but he started lying to counselor. Counselor finally convinced him to tell me the truth. Past year very tramatic son was diagnoised with kidney failure 7/03/98 Sexual affair started 9/98 but he had been close to her all summer. I had surgery 2/12/99. H donated kidney to son. Surgery was 6/29/99 I nursed both of them throught surgery but he was still in contact with her lying about it. At last couple counseling 7/30 he told me about his lying but said he wanted to stay with me. I made a BIG mistake I let me go to break it off and he never returned. He called and told me he was staying with her. Had few meetings since then say he wants a divorce. Haven't talk to him since 8/23/99 Started doing plan A last week. I send him simple little notes say I care and Ilove you. Will keep this up for awhile. Didn't mean to be so long. He has never done anything like this ever!!!!!!

Here's Mine!!

Married 35 yrs. in Oct.
2 married sons
4 grandchildren
Betrayed

To my knowledge, my H has never had an affair, unless it was a one night stand. In Feb/Mar. '98, H started to display a very nasty streak towards me. No matter what I did, it was wrong, thus "forcing" him to walk out and go to the cottage? for 2 or 3 days. This went on almost weekly. In May, H started threatening to leave me, but never did. I began to suspect him of having an affair, but had no concrete proof, other than my gut instinct. In Aug./Sept. H started behaving the way he had, prior to '98. Not only did I discover he had had an affair, but it had been with one of my younger sisters. He has denied it, as well as Sis. They can deny until the day they die, but I have confronted him with solid evidence, that cannot be explained away. We started counseling in Nov.'98, and have been going weekly since then. Things are much improved between us, but I still have my moments.

missed it the first time...

Male
33 years
Betrayed
Married 4 yrs in Aug (after affair started

June 23, W had a "date" with acquaitance/friend from work (2 other coworkers failed to showup). They talked/clicked for 5 hrs that night. She told me about the overwhelming attraction/feelings 2 days later and 1 wk later started to call him/see him on side though I knew. July 15, said she wanted to separate and she moved out Aug 16. Still in high of affair, has told me she was never "in-love" with me, and I think she has a valid point since our courtship was mostly friendship and not hot and heavy.

Caught H and my friend screwing around about 6 weeks ago. H lied and then came clean and told me what happened and said it would never happen again. Then three weeks ago I found out that he had been calling her and that he took off work one morning to meet her. I confronted him and gave him a choice to give her up and work on us or I would leave. He decided to stay and we have been reading this site and started counseling. I am still having a hard time, but trying to give it my all. I will not give up I love him too much to do that.

together with husband 7 years and 7 months,married for 2 years and 3 months.
Husband had a five month affair with a coworker who was going through a divorce. She was 2 years older than him (he is 26). The affair ended immediately after I learned about it from a mutual friend. Many of our friends knew and decided not to tell me for fear of losing him as a friend as well. We are doing well. Learned of affair in February of 1999. It started right after our first anniversary.
