You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.

I totally agree that a trigger is a trigger. It’s like an emotional episode of diarrhea, there is no putting it off even if you want to.
This is a perfect description of a trigger from InkHulk in the thread "The Turning Test"

I can more-or-less guarantee one thing:
While you have doubts, you and your marriage will never recover.

I think the key to recovering from the Hell of infidelity is Universal, and that’s belief in oneself first — be it R or D.

I treat infidelity like a glitter bomb. I stay far and away from people who support it, practice it, or act in ways that promote it or suggest that they do. I don’t want to get glitter on me again. It permeates everything. It’s hard to get off.

Roses are red,

Hikingout on the shame we carry from past abuse:
We carry the shame of what someone else should have been ashamed of and it becomes like a dark secret that we have to push down to the depth of our soul.

She doesn't want a relationship with you. She just doesn't want to be alone while she's looking for the next one.

The true metamorphosis comes with when they look in the mirror and realize they WERE the person and they did DO this. And start owning that lock, stock and barrel.

Deciding that an affair is the appropriate reply to some dysfunctionality... that’s like treating his bad breath with a shotgun round to his face.
