Adultery - tmw

Hi there...does anyone have much information about the stages a person goes through after a spouse leaves with a girlfriend? Especially when children are involved in the situation? Advice is welcome too.

From: Bernd

There are several good books on grieving stages. When a partner leaves, it's an emotional loss, and we need to grieve, be confused, angry, etc., etc. for as long as it takes each stage to work its way through our system. Having someone to talk to, to hug us, to just listen helps tremendously. I'd recommend checking out the adultery links on the Relationship Links page - there's a lot of solace and comfort and reinforcement for what you're going through on those sites. It really helps to know we're not alone in what we're feeling or thinking, that it's normal, ok, and survivable.

Good luck. And remember that the boomerang your ex threw is going to make its way back to him sooner of later.
