I have weathered the worst part of the storm called "Infidelity" and I understand that it will be a lifelong journey in reconciliation. I have learned a lot through this journey so far. But I find myself compelled to help others get through the pain and begin reconciling. I will not sugarcoat the process, it will take time and lots of hard work from both parties. My personal experience was with an unusually LTA which most people would write off as a death sentence to any relationship. Infidelity is very unique to the people involved but for those of us that are getting through it shares many things in common. Reconciling is learning to love all over again but it is much harder this time because of what we know now. We see the one we love so much differently now, yet the love is still there, damaged and bruised but still there. Lots of things were shattered with infidelity but it doesn't have to be a death sentence. Weathering the storm of infidelity and the waves of sorrow and pain and regret in those early days, months and years ahead will be the challenge of your life. But the new love and marriage that comes out of this storm will be stronger and worth the work you put into it. I so appreciate everyone on these forums that helped me through my storm and I want to pay it forward to help others get through it too. You are never alone in this journey and reconciliation can happen if you both put in the work.

I LOVE THIS...thank you for sharing !! Reconciliation IS hard...but when BOTH parties are ALL IN...it is so WORTH IT !! I often write that just how someone doesn't know the PAIN of infidelity until they experience it...people also can't imagine the JOY of being on the other side of infidelity until they experience it as well .

From my experience with my 1st H who was also a cheater...and I went for D with him...I would say that the adage once a cheater always a cheater was true. I can very HAPPILY say that my 2nd H has proven me and that adage WRONG !

I know of one way you could pay it forward . There is a thread that is pinned at the Top of this Forum that is called "Positive Reconciliation Stories". Your post would fit PERFECTLY in there !! This thread will be on page 2 before you know it...but in THAT thread as a post...it will be there much longer so that people coming here for hope will be able to read your post and have a little bit of comfort .

All you have to do is copy your post and then paste it into that thread .
