@parkerbear, I am not a doctor, but I have been in your situation. I caught my wife cheating with a good friend. She tried to wave it off as if it was no big deal. I made the mistake of just letting it go. A while later we tried counseling. She could not bring herself to open up. WE talked a little and she said that she would do better. A couple of years later, she decided that she no longer desired to be married to me. We had two fairly young boys, so I tried to dissuade her. She was adamant. We ultimately divorced. I felt as if my world was coming to an end. The good news is that I met a wonderful woman three years later who loved me and my boys. We have been married for thirty-four years, enjoying a wonderful life together. I guess what I'm saying is that God always has a plan for your life. Sometimes you have to face the dark clouds to find the silver lining.

You and your kids are very fortunate. God bless the woman you married and I congratulate you on making lemonade out of lemons.

Thank you so much for sharing your story I definitely appreciate it

That was wonderful advice. Caring and thoughtful. Yes, God does bless us and if other's don't have your best interest in mind. God will change the circumstances. You are fortunate to have found love again. Your wife is lucky to have you. Hugs to you both!
