Think we turned a corner in Remorseville, but still some issues (TMI warning)

I think my WH is starting to really process some of the emotions he is dealing with and the reality of what he did is settling in.

 

Last night we were watching a movie about the lives of several married couples, it was a comedy but had some drama thrown into the situations. There was a couple that consisted of a wife who wanted a baby, and hubby didnt. They'd been married 3 years (like us) and the husband suddenly decided he didn't know how long they'd be together and that he wanted a divorce. The wife wanted to reconcile but he assured her it was over. At the end of the movies, she found out he had been cheating, had a new girlfriend who was very pregnant, and she saw them out in public and just broke down.

 

When we saw this scene, I just froze and felt so much pain and disgust. My husband reacted vocally and quietly said "Wow, that is just so messed up, ugh." and I didn't say anything to him but I knew he was thinking about what he had done and seeing the pain on the wifes face in the movie he was feeling more of the impact of what he'd done to me and the impact it made on both our lives.

Well, he made the right sounds.

Maybe this is a step on the road to recovery for you both?

If he was sincere, then that's good.

 

I think he should be exposed to more of this stuff. Talk more about it...not necessarily your own specific situation maybe, if that's too confronting for him at the moment (or if you're already all "talked out" so to speak), but just similar situations in general...it may open his mind to other viewpoints and deeper understanding.
