I went into shock when I discovered his affair. I was married to a man I thought I knew for 13 years. He is the father of our four children. My heart shattered that morning, as I stared at the screen on his phone. In an instant I felt everything I once treasured, slip away. You don’t understand this anguish, until you have felt it for yourself. Infidelity happened to other couples, not to us. Ben and I were happy, we were strong, and we were in love. I was wrong. Three years later, Ben and I are still married, raising our children together. We are happy, we are strong, and we are in love. The difference now is we know where we went wrong, where we lost sight of our relationship, and what we had to loose. The harsh lessons we learned through this experience are invaluable. We learned not only how to survive an affair, but how to thrive together after one. This is our story.
