My husband had an affair whilst serving abroad in the forces. We had two young children so I forgave him and we stayed together. Later the same thing happened when we settled down in civvy street. Again I forgave him, even making excuses for him both times. In 2001 he had a one night stand when I was busy taking care of an ageing and infirm parent, another excuse I made for him. With hindsight I'm sure there must have been other indiscretions but I was so in love with him I wanted to believe that he meant it when he said he loved me. We even re-took our wedding vows on our 25th anniversary. Finally 2 years ago, after nearly 35 years of marriage, he left me for a woman nearly young enough to be his daughter. That's the thanks I got for loving him enough to forgive him and put the past behind us. Make sure you stay together becaue it's what you both want and also make sure you have a bit of a life of your own, just in case. Hope things work out in the best possible way for you.
