Coping Infidelity

How did you overcome infidelity and saved your marriage?

I would like to know how you coped with the emotional affair of your partner when he/she has been honest about it – doesn;t deny it

Contrary to other’s postings, I thought my marriage was saving. He did too. The affair- shortlived- came out of nowhere it seemed (to me) although for him there was some emotional connection beforehand that I didn’t see. Anyways, I never, ever, ever thought I’d be able to forgive. But something in me told me to.

How I coped in a nutshell: Leaned on God really, really hard. Prayed a ton, and cried my eyes out. Prayed, prayed and prayed some more.

He wanted to fix our broken marriage also, so he is doing whatever I ask him to do and so far he’s been good with everything I ask. He sometimes doesn’t like certain things (admitting to a counselor what he did etc) but he does them anyways. He’s much more attentive now and doesn’t take me for granted anymore, because there was a point where I almost left him and he knew it was serious. I think theres a difference between not denying it & caring about the marriage, and not denying it and not caring. If he doesn’t care about you guys still, theres no hope.

We’ve had a lot of long conversations, a lot of hurt feelings, a lot of arguments, but we’re working through everything. We both believe we have something worth salvaging and it will be stronger then before, once we get through this mess. I don’t trust him anymore, but I do love him, and the trust will eventually come back over time. It hasn’t been that long.

I wish you guys all the best. I know what it feels like.

EDIT: To the poster below with the crack/tarnished mirror analogy, thats where my faith comes in. I think with God, you can take a piece of glass, shatter it, and he can restore it to a state of absolute brillance- better then what it was before. His word flat out says “he makes things new”. I beleive that and so far I have seen that. :)
