Looking for happy ever after stories đź’”

Has anyone ever actually made it work with their husband who has cheated on them? We have a long history and been through so much together but the problems in our marriage mainly come from him cheating (never in person I actually believe he never would do anything in person) and the reason why he does it (blames me for how I make him feel). Too much history to air on here, we have been through counselling etc up until a few days before baby came along and decided we want to continue to make it work. Up until a very big bust up at the start of the week and now I'm not so sure I can keep doing it. I'm not perfect and nor is he, but we have a lot of love for each other and have never been happier since our little one but I feel I will never be able to trust him with anything as even just general day to day things he can't always tell me the truth about. Just looking for any positive stories before I decide whether to divorce or not whilst my little one is so young.

I am currently still with my husband after him having a 2 year affair with a co-worker. I had to end up leaving him for a while for him to get serious about getting the help he needed. Are we completely whole? No, not yet. I can't say it's a success story but we are working on it. It is very hard at times, but as time passes, the triggers are lower, and we've returned to a state of peace. I can only tell you this: I wouldn't reconcile unless he takes good initiative to make changes on his own. No ultimatums, no begging. He has to want it.That means individual therapy. He agrees to a system of accountability where you have access to his phone and computer. A solution now would be to remain separated until those things are proven. I tried staying and it was year of absolute torture. He ping ponged back and forth between me and the mistress weekly. I was left at home with an infant to cry most of the day. I'll never do that again. Ask yourself, who was he before all of this?

Do you feel that he is redeemable or will this just be a part of who he is? My husband was a great guy before all this and was unbeknownst to me, battling depression and a mid-life crisis. I've decided to stick it out for now but if you choose to leave, no one should judge you. Healing is a hard road but very possible.
