You've discovered that your husband has cheated on you. Maybe you've discovered incriminating emails or text messages from his lover, or, worse yet, have actually seen them together. Your world is crashing down. You feel like a nuclear bomb just decimated your entire world, and you are trying to shield yourself from the fallout. This is very likely the most painful experience you've ever had. You've been sucker punched in the soul.
You are so confused. Your emotions are volatile - one minute you're so angry you could claw his eyes out, the next moment you're devastated with grief because you fear he will to leave you.
