Oct. 25th will be 1 year that I discovered my husband was having an 8 yr emotional affair with a much younger woman that turned physical near the end. We've been married 24 yrs & we have 3 beautiful children, our youngest being 6 yrs old. We've decided to make our marriage work but it's been difficult forgetting the betrayal and hurt I feel. I want to forgive and just move forward. I want to trust again and not fear he'll do this again. There we're 3 other women that were in their 20's but those weren't physical, it was flirting. My self esteem is so low. My husband is 46 and I'm 45.
