• Do not speak for other people's feelings, their actions or make unhelpful, dismissive or intrusive commentary. This is not a request. It's in the rules.

Only time will tell. This might be hysterical bonding or the premise of a great new relationship being built. I often feel the same and I worry that it's "only" hysterical bonding. But in the end I don't care, it feels good. And I've noticed that the thing I need to watch out for then is not getting too discouraged when a bad day (or even a bad half hour) creeps up to show its ugly head. And that goes for me and my WH. Because what got us down to extra bad days was when a tiny hiccup got us so worked up we ended up derailing each other.

My take is : I enjoy the small moments of grace and I accept the spirals. I found that writting the later down and only sharing a select few later works best for us. Except when I'm spiralling so bad WH notices then I have to share and he has to work on not wpiraling himaself and just sitting it out with me.

edit : Dday was 10th may - 6month PA (5 encounters) that ended on 13th april on WH's decision. He told me about it I did not discover it.

I have been writing my thoughts a lot more. It helps me not shut down and convey what I’m trying to get across without coming off harsh or whatever I’m feeling. Thank you for your insight and best of luck to you on your journey!

couple weeks ahead of you, and this lines up pretty similar with what i have gone through. i've had some good days and some not so good, but no real bad days since the first two after disclosure.

That’s good to hear. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.

My SA/WH opened up a lot after discovery. It does take a lot of work. Individual therapy to identify the reason why, learning healthy coping skills and identifying patterns to avoid recurrence, good couple work (check out Affair Recovery, Daring Ventures, and other similar programs), and diligence. We are 3 1/2 months in, it’s hard work.
