I always appreciate hearing from you :) I absolutely felt like the betrayal negated all the previous years and the entirety of the marriage. I felt that very strongly and never expected to feel any differently. But I wanted to.
So it has really been a surprise to me to feel the shifts I have experienced. I would still not label myself "healed" or say I feel 100% about this by any means. But the change in perspective has been significant enough, that I can see it can continue to grow in a positive direction and it gives me hope, which I am happy to share here in these blogs.
Thank you Bighorn Mountains

I feel similarly about Dday anniversaries to how you have described it, and in fact mine is tomorrow. For anyone interested, I wrote about it last year, and a lot has even improved since then. https://www.affairrecovery.com/survivors/jen/d-day-anniversary-a-survivo...
