After many years of marriage, I realize that it is me and not him that failed to do my part. Unfortunately his heart has wondered toward another. We are still married, what can I do besides apologize and ask for another chance? I’ve done that, but he won’t give me any clear sign whch way he is headed….
The road back from adultery is a very hard one. If you don’t have any kids, I would say leave him and start over with someone else. You could spend months of work on the relationship only to find he has been double dipping.
If you do have kids, then for their sakes, try to save the marriage. First make it clear you made the mistakes, realize it now, and are willing to make things right. Here are the rules:
Never ever contact the other man, ever, and not in any way, phone, mail, email etc. If the other man ever does contact you, inform your husband immediately and let him handle things, never talk or answer him yourself.
After your initial "deal" never talk about the affair again, neither of you, even in a fight.
If either of you cheats on the other, all bets are off, it’s divorce court.
Be a loving wife. He will need, and I’m serious here, lots of sex at first. That will go very far in healing things. Eventually you can level off, but never again make him go for more than a week or so without a climax. The lack of sex is the number one reason men start sniffing around for some one else. You have a lot of making up and you need to be sure he sees your love for him as real.
