Basically I cheated on my husband and sadly we didn't even make it to a year of marriage. I had the classic feeling of feeling alone in our marriage because of the demands of his job and someone was able to snake their way in and make me feel special again. One time deal basically. Didn't try to hide it, felt terrible admitted it wanted to work it out. But he says he forgives me but can't forget it. Bummer
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. We all make mistakes and it is great that you were able to speak up and admit it to your husband- that is an incredibly difficult thing to do. Have you two considered marriage counseling? It could be worth a try to see if you can salvage the relationship and rebuild the trust between you two. Neither of you may be able to erase what happened, but instead, this incident could help you deal with the underlying issues and open up communication so that you two can become closer again. I wish you the best and please know that one action does not define you and it does not define your relationship either. We're here for you and supporting you through this!
Thank you for your kindness, yes we attempted counseling and I was willing to do almost anything that was required to make it work. Everything was progressing slowly and all of a sudden he just shut down and said no I can't do this. It hurt me to the core, especially him saying I love and care about you BUT. I can admit what I did was wrong and own up to my mistakes but I can't make him forget or move past what happened. Now were stuck in the he needs time phase which is killing me
