Man Satan its working over time trying to destroy marriage. My best friend of 11 years took all the information of my husbands problems and weaknesses and started an affair that lasted 1 year tell they were caught. All asking pretending to be the best friend i feel she's a sly. Once it came out her anger towards me was outrages. Her poor husband who has had to put up with all the lying. She's truly an actress. Scary that the deception was do deep. I'm not sure i can stay with my husband. I don't want Satan to win but man its just to painful. I trusted this lady and not only was she not sorry for what she did she had such anger toward me for bringing out everything. I broke up her whole plan. When her husband found out that was out She had even more anger towards me. I do believe she has some type of mental disorder. Her behavior had been out of Control. She has big issues. Bigger than i ever knew about. She's been acting for many many years. she was a pro at lying. Just no Never talk bad about your husband to anyone. These type of woman are out there you just can't spot them because they are master manipulators and and brilliant liars. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sammynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-63324056378184137832013-02-25T17:36:53.034-05:002013-02-25T17:36:53.034-05:00I suspected my husbands affsir with co worker. Alt...I suspected my husbands affsir with co worker. Although he denies it to this day too many signs and other people confirmed it for me as well as the fact that they suddely became best friends when we split. Now they are together. I have been divorced for 1 year but when he recently told me he had slept with several women during our marriage it was as painful as if it just happened. To make matters worse both he and his mistress are family therapists. I am now in love with a wonderful man but i cant move past the pain every time i have to deal with ex.

I rationalized that I was trying to understand what she had that I didn't. My biggest pain avoidance mechanism was plotting revenge. I was so good at that. I felt much stronger when I was angry than when I was a broken hearted, depressed shell.<br />If I had been able to handle the pain, if I would have faced the pain, I know I could have healed faster, not easier...just quicker. <br />Hope & Hugs, Shawn<br />http://ayearaftertheaffair.blogspot.com/shawnthewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655900090203024578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-2868250607095761792012-07-16T02:38:11.178-04:002012-07-16T02:38:11.178-04:00It's so great that you spelled this out so gre...It's so great that you spelled this out so great! Thank you for this article ... it is great for women to read this! I too am the wife of a recovering sex addict and although I wouldn't want to go through any of the shit we have been through I am a completely different person now because of it. I am empowered, I am confident and I just have started taking care of myself in a way I haven't done in a long time. And those things are WONDERFUL! And my hubby, Ed, and I have started connecting in ways that we haven't in a LONG time too!!!! Thanks again for your awesome article .... keep up the amazing work!!!!Mishka_Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112251033786344354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-32016064021195641262012-07-13T16:16:47.116-04:002012-07-13T16:16:47.116-04:00Shanna,

All affairs are horrible, no doubt, but 'affair while wife pregnant' one takes the cake! I deeply empathize with you and had all of the feelings you mention. I truly didn't think I'd make it but after 18 months and a lot of therapy (both individual & couples), a lot of talking, a lot of reading, a lot of fighting, fearing, crying, loving, hating, hoping and even some meds to help me through the darkest days... I now feel, er, know, that I'll make it and we have these terrific babies (now toddlers) to boot. Wishing you the very, very best.Ericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-20693687405238682122012-07-13T10:29:00.417-04:002012-07-13T10:29:00.417-04:00Shanna,
I'm so sorry for what you're goin...Shanna,<br /><br />I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I'm always amazed at how often it's pregnant women/new moms who have to deal with this. As if taking care of a baby isn't enough stress!<br />The "mind movies" can be killers -- obsessing over every detail. And they ultimately serve no purpose except to keep you locked in pain.<br />At this point, it sounds as if you know everything you need to know. Now's the time to look forward.<br />Focus on your baby, making sure to take care of yourself first and foremost. Your husband's affair was about making an incredibly bad (and painful) choice...but ultimately was about HIM, not you. <br />If you can use this to figure out why he would seek elsewhere what he could have in his marriage -- and perhaps get to the root of some of your own stuff -- this can be a building block for a stronger marriage.<br />I honestly used to think people who talked like that were full of it. Or in denial.<br />Now...here I am. I wouldn't choose to go through that to get to where I am...but there were lots of painful experiences in my life that I wouldn't choose...but that ultimately brought me to a better place.<br />Hang in there. Keep focusing on the now and let tomorrow unfold.<br /><br />ElleEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470499558973726796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-57148678268802475082012-07-13T02:56:38.710-04:002012-07-13T02:56:38.710-04:00Thank you for this.

I was pregnant with our first child when the affair began. Its so shocking to me still. We are trying to work things out because he is doing everything to make this marriage work. However I find myself obsessing over every detail. It's like a broken record playing over and over in my head of how did this happen and how could he have done this to me. I can only hope and pray that I will be where you are one day. I use to say I was a very happy person. Now I feel empty and resentful. I like to read your posts because it gives me hope for a better tmrw. Maybe one day I will feel happy with my life again. And look at my husband the way I use to.
