Still feeling sadness with shock 

This afternoon I go back down to the attorney's office to draw up the more detailed divorce agreement papers.  STBX said he will sign just about anything, including admitting to adultery.  Once he got caught, he is just so anxious to get this over with.  I guess he had a while to think of what would happen if he ever was caught in his lies, but this is all still so fresh and raw to me.  I am still in disbelief, angry, and feel lost and abandoned.  I still love the man, despite knowing what he did.  Is that at all normal????  But I know that the horrible deception that was going on is more than enough to let any sane woman know that it is beyond repair.  He made his choice when he first made the decision to cheat on me, so now I have to somehow play catch up and find acceptance.  But how do you do that.  I feel that my life has been taken away from me, all in one instant for me even though he admits to have started cheating back in January.  Together a total of almost 12 years....now on the fast track to divorce.  How can this be.  How can he just pick up and move on so quickly without even second guessing his actions.  And why I am stuck in the 'missing him' mode.  I feel such sadness and anxiety.  Can anyone relate and tell me when I will feel any better about losing the man I so loved to such betrayal.  How can men do this to their family?  And it hurts that he portrayed himself as happy up until he got caught...vacations, family portraits, etc.  I feel like such a fool and that my life was a lie.

I understand where you are coming from my spouse cheated on me found out back in March 08 and from that day on my life turned 360 degrees I understand how you are feeling I feel like that everyday humiliated, used, useless, that our years together as husband and wife didn't mean a thing and afterall these feelings I still love him I always will.  But, to tell you the truth as your days go by little by little you will become stronger and even though I know it's still fresh in your head it will diminish whenever you are starting to think of you and him and how could he do this and how quickly he could move on...try to stop your thoughts and focus on something else stay busy.... or email me whenever you want... I have been there and still going thru it myself. I know exactly how you feel but, I thank god for this website it has really helped me as well everyone here has good advice and those that are going or have gone through what we have understand completely.

I'm sorry Madymom.  I wish there were this really cool magic formula I could draw out on a board and go, "Here!  This date you'll be good as new, so ready the champagne!"  I can't.  Relationships are snowflakes and everyone is different.  I healed within a few months, my friend who's wife did the same thing to him as your husband did to you, it took him a few years to get back to normal.  If you read the stories of everybody here, it becomes obvious that the healing process is personal, and it lasts as long as it lasts.

I recommend you take time to do the things you love. Take up projects you always wanted to do but couldn't because it interfered with other commitments.  Take this time to find you again.  It will help.  If you have a small network of friends, go out and meet people.  Give it time, you'll heal, you'll grow, you'll be a stronger, better person, even though right now you can't see how that's possible.

In the meantime, we're here for you.  So vent, ask, whatever.
