Surviving Infidelity Series: Can You Survive Infidelity When Your Cheating Spouse Denies It

I received an anonymous phone call one day informing me that my husband was having an affair with someone that I knew. At that same time, he was away on vacation, after he refused to take me along and I lost it. I felt that my whole world fell on top of my head and my heart stopped beating. I started crying and screaming at the same time and I called him on the phone to confront him. He denied the affair but I later confirmed that he was indeed having the affair and that at the moment that I called him, he was with her!! I felt so sick with my heartache that I took off a couple of days from work because I simply could not function. As the days went on and the weeks that followed, I found that talking to friends, especially my mother and sisters helped tremendously and that I didn’t have to carry that burden by myself. I went back to work because it kept me busy so I didn’t have time to think about him and the affair. I lost weight because I was so depressed that I was not eating or taking care of my self. I found out that the best thing for me was to keep to my daily routine as best as I could. I took care of my kids, dressed up and went to work, wore makeup and got a haircut. This boosted my ego tremendously. I kept as busy as possible, even visiting friends and relatives that I have not seen in a long time. It’s been many months since I found out about the affair and I have recently filed for divorce since he refused to acknowledge or accept that he had the affair. It took a long time to get over my anger, hurt, resentment, grief but I found that I can laugh and enjoy myself again.
