crossroad Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 This story could take a book to tell, but I will try to keep it short. Been married for 3 yrs, 11 months, together for 6-1/2 years. We are both 31. Recently discovered my wife had at least a two week affair with a drug dealer, left the house and didn't come back for two weeks. I don't want to sound too angelic, because I was being a jerk before all of this happened. My main and persistent complaint was that she needed to get a job and do something with herself. I said some pretty harsh words. I pushed her away by not being more thoughtful and compassionate, but having an affair with a drug dealer is a major blow that I'm sure I didn't deserve. I have worked hard to make a life for us and this is just tearing me apart. We used to have such a special kind of love and I hate to see it go. She admitted that she had become addicted to pain killers, been taking them for years and then it took control of her. Now she wants to make up and try to change her life, and she has shown positive signs, but I still have a feeling that this is not over. She has always had a problem with lying that I tried to overlook in the past, but now it really rips at me. I know that at one time she really loved me and she knows that I really loved her. I really don't know if this will be worth the fight or if I should just move on with my life. Any advice is appreciated.
