Is it possible to forgive adultery?

My story may be as old as the world and banal, but since we have no psychologist in our town, I want to share it with you.

It happened on New Year’s Eve. My husband came home late at night from a corporate party, and he had been drinking heavily. He went to bed with his clothes on. While I was trying to take off his clothes, I heard a text message, I usually do not have the habit of going through his things, but this time I was drawn to look into the phone. I opened the sms and saw a message from a certain Emma – “good night, kisses, love you.

I reread it 10 times, I could not believe that it was true. To say that I was stabbed in the back after 10 years of marriage and three children, no my body felt like all the years, and my heart was trampled. I was thrown up and down in shivers and fever. My husband was sleeping peacefully, and I didn’t want to wake him up or hit him. On the contrary, I wanted to hug him so badly, and I had the feeling that I didn’t want to give him up to anyone.

In the morning I told him about the text message and he laughed and said that it was just flirting and that he hadn’t slept with her, although I didn’t believe him. Honestly, at that moment, I was terribly thirsty for a drink, even though I am not a fan of alcohol and practically do not drink. Thank God I didn’t get sucked in, it seemed like a bad idea to me.

Yes, someone will say, it’s women’s own fault for cheating on them! But I also missed his care, attention and affection and yet, I didn’t go looking for another man.

It’s been two years since then. My husband has changed, taking more care of me, telling me every day that he loves me. But every time he doesn’t pick up the phone or is late, guess what my first thought is? That’s right: “he’s with another woman.” And I’m afraid that even on his deathbed, I will remember not lived with him, not my children, and his treason! Although I love him very much!
