Thank you so much for this article. I’m desperate for answers and I feel like I’m grasping to any sense of hope. My husband of 25 yrs was involved in an emotional affair for 7 yrs. we have 3 children, youngest 7 years old. We decided to try to make our marriage work. It’s going on 2 yrs since dday and 8 months since the last disclosure. I struggle with moving forward and I feel it’s because my husband shows no empathy when answering any of my questions. He says because he feels like I’m attacking him. I personally don’t think that’s true because his manner in answering has been the same, since day 1, he’s always answered so coldly. Is this normal? Will he ever show any hurt knowing his answers are hurtful to me?
Not getting it
