Trying to get my head on straight - by myself
I’m currently sitting at just over 5 years since my (still) wife cheated on me with her HS boyfriend (her Achilles - the One.)
We were 50 years old w3 kids and a 24 year, 281 day marriage at the time. I caught her red handed thru 4129 emails+ texts but decided to try to work things out because I love(d) her & because of the kids. Two are out of the house now and the third will be leaving for college after next school year. They do not know.
Since D-day, our journey towoard recovery has been riddled w her hesitation & utter reluctance to help me. We eventually did counselling for a while but I stopped it since things were going well and I was in a good place. She won’t go back now and doesn’t even want to discuss our relationship unless I force the issue. I’ve been told basically to figure out what works for best me when I’m in crisis and use whatever it is to get through it.
Does anyone know of self-help books or other resources specifically for someone staying in a broken marriage even though the wayward is unwilling to continue to work toward reconciliation?
Thank you,
-BrokenBewildered
