What a proudly simple but potent story ! “It felt I couldn't live without her and I feared the outcome of a separation.
I had never experienced such extreme and desperate feelings.
I was sure this was my one chance for happiness.
I believed she was my soulmate.
I even worried that letting go would result in someone else getting to experience the life I'd given up. If I stayed married would I remain forever miserable?
Would it be the right decision or would I forever regret this decision?”
EXACTLY the thoughts of a person struggling to break free . Add the endless *longing* and depression after the affair is cut off, you’ll set yourself up for a year long cycle of longing/sorrow/regret and depression afterwards .
I personally would shake and sob everyday for MONTHS . Going back to the reality of a crappy, and unhappy marriage and letting go of my affair partner was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
For us, it took *years* to fix and heal the marriage .
