Hi Happee2meetcha:

I know exactly how you feel. I have been there myself. Men or (people) who usually practice that kind of behavior never change. It took me a lot of years to realize that I was wasting my time thinking that one day he was going to change. I was wrong. These individuals get a high when they have multiple relationships at one time. They also love the exitement in knowing that there is always someone "there" for them all the time. He will come back to you and promise he will be faithful to you. Its a trap! Don't fall for it. He is incapable of being faithful. You are 48 years old and that is still considered young. Go on with your life and consider yourself lucky, you got his game right on time. Just take it a day at a time. The less you hear from him, the better and stronger you will get. I also agree with you, before you see a therapist or take medication, give yourself some time and see whether you can handle the situation on your own. Good luck to you!
