Hi gwenevere. I just wanted to add my that you find the strength to get through this very difficult time in your life. I understand completely what you are going through right now as my husband's infidelity was just 2 short years ago. We also dealt with a one night stand 12 years ago so it was a big slap in the face that this would happen again, only it was an emotional affair this time that lasted 7 months.
I agree with everything Devasha has told you thus far. A very wise poster from the words that I just read. My mantra for getting me through the betrayal, the hurt, all of it to this day has been, "Nothing is impossible with God". I know that God is bigger than any problem I might face in this world, including adultery. The pain from adultery has been linked to the pain of a death. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but it comes pretty darn close in my opinion. I've experienced both & I remember there were times when I thought I was literally going to die from the pain I was experiencing, but holding God's hand was the one thing that got me through to the other side & trusting in God to make all things good, was the one thing that gave me hope that my marriage would be restored & trust would be rebuilt once again.
I also can understand about the drugs as well. My husband was a big user of marijuana all of his life & the only thing that worked in our case was prayer. When a wife prays for her husband, it can result in such positive things happening. It took a long time, but he is finally clean & sober & his heart has turned back to God once again.
Recovery seems like such a long road sometimes, but when looking back, I see how far we've come in these 2 years since D-day & I'm so thankful I trusted in God to get us through. He can never let us down.
Hugs to you,
