Hi Kelly 

For you to be able to do that proactively is an amazing first step. I often planned what I would say that day but kept putting it off until I eventually was found out.

The anger and hate should hopefully be temporary, and please remember that your husband probably can't relate. The more he can understand, the better it will be.

I'd urge you to hang on in there like I'm doing. I'm on day 14 and things certainly look better than they did on day 1. Time does heal, but you've got to both allow yourself to work through your emotions without suppressing them.

Really good work- I wish I'd had the strength to own up. It will get better.
