Rollercoaster of emotions
Sorry if I do this wrong. The people of Reddit suggested I try this site for support. I (BS 44) found evidence back in August that my WH had cheated multiple times with men and women throughout our 16 years of marriage. I didn't confront immediately because I wanted time to sort things in my mind and financially. Found out this week that he was actively in a full on affair with my cousin's wife. I went nuclear. We are divorcing but trying to do it peacefully. I chose to tell our families that we had been in counseling awhile and made the decision to end it. He is staying in the house with me a few months while he looks for a place and tries to regroup. Obviously he has apologized several times but there is no coming back from this. I guess what brings me here is the need to understand the emotions that are coming. It's been a rollercoaster so far ranging from gut wrenching pain to anger to melancholy. I even had a moment today where I considered reconciliation. Tell me it gets easier after the initial shock wears off.How on earth do people survive this?
