I haven’t been on the forum before although I have read some of the threads and as everyone always seems so supportive I was hoping someone can help with the way I feel. I am 61 and my husband (64) has for nearly two years been texting and sending gifts to a woman he had a brief affair with almost 30 years ago – she got back in contact just before Christmas 2007 via voicemail on our landline but I knew it was her. I have challenged him a couple of times but he says she is ill and in a bad way (I think this is a lie) and he feels he must support her. He says it is me he loves. I know he hasn’t seen her so there is no grand affair but I feel so lonely and betrayed and I know it is probably silly but I can’t seem to get over it. My son is getting married in September so I must keep everything OK for that but I don’t know how to. Some coping strategies would be very welcome. I have an interesting part time job as a mental health advocate and run a small successful, publishing company but this all seems nothing when I am effectively sharing our home with someone else. He has his mobile phone in his pocket constantly and it is so obvious when she has sent a text as he has to rush upstairs or go out and check the cars – I could scream! And then I feel so low.
