I have not been on in a while but decided to check in.

I am relieved to say that it does get "better". At least it has for me.

It has been almost 4 yrs since DDAY...we have not had a cheating related argument for about 9 months now.

I just don't feel the need to bring it up anymore, rehash, think about it etc I'm enjoying life and my relationship.

I know that if it ever happened again, I would be gone in a second.

Triggers have diminished to almost nothing and I am relieved.

I feel safe.

(((Audrina))) I am almost 4 years out also. It's getting better. I am enjoying life & my marriage again. Agree with all you said especially if it ever happened again I would be out of here in a second. Both FWH and know that. Our relationship is loving. Thanks for sharing.,

I'm also glad I read this. Haven't posted in a long time. It's almost 4 years for me and just when I think the worst is over, BAM, a trigger sets me off back in time and the anger just overwhelms me and puts me in a funk for days. Then I come out of it and things are better.

Anyone else going through this? Will this ever end? Or is this the life I now must lead? Please help.
