I Thought I Knew How to Recover from an Affair

When my husband cheated on me, I thought that I knew how to recover from an affair. I was very mistaken. I ended up going into a deep state of depression and was not able to do anything but eat and sleep. I gained a ton of weight, which made me feel even worse about myself. My husband would constantly ask me what was wrong and I would just roll my eyes at him and go back to sleep. We were not able to repair our relationship on our own because I simply did not want to talk to him.

One day I decided to try to find a way to handle the situation that was more productive than just ignoring him. I found that there were steps I could take to learn to deal with the pain I was feeling and to be able to open up to him. Occasionally I will have a flashback that will make me feel insecure or self-conscious but I eventually am able to work through it and my relationship does not have to suffer.
