Emotional affair
My husband had an emotional affair that we are both struggling to move on from 2 years later. We both want to stay together but it's still very up and down. I have weeks where I feel okay and then others I can't stop crying. He has weeks when I think he understands the damage he did but then other times he's back to minimising and expecting me to be over it, making excuses etc.It still feels so fragile. We make steps of progress and then take steps back. Is 2 years still early days? I should add it took most of the first year to get the full truth and for him to stop lying. I know there is no set time line we should follow but I am so exhausted by this dominating my thoughts for 2 years. I want to start letting go but my brain just can't. Anyone further down the road able to reassure that peace will come?
