Fri, 22 Jan 2016 04:54:48 +0000http://www.break-free-from-the-affair.com/blog/?p=209#comment-104388I had a combination of “my marriage made me do it” and “I can’t say no”. I did not confront at first, but about 1 month after I discovered the affair, my husband told me it wasn’t that he didn’t want to stop seeing her, he felt like maybe he just couldn’t or didn’t know how. So I gambled and confronted, first by phone and asked her to cease all communication, then by letter explaining the psychology dynamics that I felt were taking place (she is a psychologist) and lastly in person when I caught them taking a walk in the park together. It is true that it made my husband angry and he has not taken responsibility, but I am glad I confronted because it caused her to finally break off the relationship. My husband may never accept responsibility or get the help he needs, but the way I see it, he has a much better chance now that the affair is over. I confronted for me because that is what I needed to do and I was willing to risk it because I didn’t want him to continue to self destruct, even it it meant our marriage was over. I don’t want to have to win my husband back, if the anger he has because I confronted her causes him to divorce me than he is not the man I want to spend the rest of my life with anyway.
