Question: 

It has been almost 8 months since DDay. I discovered my husband of 26 years had been cheating almost our entire marriage when my doctor called to tell me I have HPV. He had sexual relations with three women. These were not love affairs; they were selfish lustful acts. Since then, the healing journey has been rough, but we have made progress. I have forgiven him and have been working hard to grow and move forward. That being said, I cannot stop thinking about the last woman with whom he had an intermittent relationship for 10 years. She is a married woman with three daughters. I want to ask her to meet me so I can look her in the eyes and ask her why she pursued my husband and did not respect his wishes when he asked to end things back in 2022. You think it is a good idea to do this? I am not sure why I feel this way. I want to see her in person, but I am not sure if this will bring me any closure. I am hopeful it can but at the same time understand it can create more pain.
