Question
It's been 4 months after D-Day, all I feel is deep disappointment and disillusionment. I fell in love with him because of his integrity. More than anything else, that was the quality I admired most. For me when he chose to have an affair, all his integrity, morals, and values disappeared. I'm struggling with one question: Why should I stay with someone I no longer admire, respect, or feel proud to be with? How do you rebuild a marriage when the very trait that made you choose your partner is the one that was shattered? Is it realistic to believe that admiration and respect can return after such a profound betrayal, or is that something some marriages simply never recover?
