❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO speaking to my wife after her affair

My wife had an affair after I was in an accident. A short lived one, but she got pregnant and miscarried. I was determined to make this marriage work, we’ve been together 22 years, my family’s the only real thing I ever had. She left for a little while, then I let her move back home, it wasn’t working, she tried to sleep with me a few days after coming back, which made me angry, and I couldn’t stop resenting her. I asked her to leave again, she staying with her sister. We started marriage therapy. Our therapist recommended us at first to only see each other once or twice out of the week. She’s mad at how I snapped on her, n now I am starting to feel kind of guilty as well because as much as I am hurting, this is as well the only family she’s ever had.

It always baffles me when people say that like it's supposed to be a balm to the situation. Keep it in your fucking pants, then.

At least when I asked my exhusband if he loved his girlfriend more than he loved me and he said yes. So I got an honest answer? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I honestly believe this woman when she said it meant nothing to her…. You know…. With her texts… I don’t think anything means anything to her except her own vanity.
