WS here - 6 months into this terrible agony I inflicted upon us.

I was directed to this post when BS first discovered SI and I have re-read it many times. It helps me see more clearly the complete devastation I have wrought upon us and makes me so ashamed I did this.

I totally embrace all of what is in the original thread and it inspires me to be the better person my BS so deserves - I feel unworthy of the effort she has put in to wanting us to stay together but I am determined to repay that effort many times over - this thread has, and will continue to, inspire me.

Thank you SI for helping us cope with this horrific journey.

I am a WS and one week post D-Day. I was visiting prostitutes and even another male (a BIG mistake) and got caught. Wife found texts and emails and you all know what happened.

We are talking right now and will start counseling on Monday. In the past week, I have cut of all contacts with previous life, have seen a therapist twice, saw our Priest twice, made a long and complete confession, been to a separation support group, and will be attending Kings Men tonight. I am completely devastated by what happened and have completely lost my friends, family members, and even my business as we worked together and we agreed that I would exit the business.

I am looking at Mount Everest now and don't know if I can do it. I love her dearly and the kids all want us to make it work as do I. But the challenges just seem too much for me and the thought of years of devastation, rejection, and pain are making me want to run away. I have God in my life and have turned it all over to Him, but still am a mess.

Of course it is all my fault, I accept and embrace that completely and have also accepted the fact that I am the lowest form of dirt for having done this.

Any words of encouragement is sorely needed at this point - not that I deserve any.

I am a rebuilding man - a work in progress

People are able to make changes. Making those changes stick long term is a bit more of a challenge.

Rather than look for support on this thread, you would be better off posting new threads, responding to others from your perspective, and responding to questions in posts you make. That way you won't threadjack this long-running thread.

I printed this for my WH to read.

Things still aren't where I'd like them to be yet, but at least they are better. He seams to finally understand part of what I'm going through.

I'm still very confused and unsure. not sure if we'll make it long term. But until that decision is made, I'm claiming baby steps towards our future together.
