I recently posted for the first time on here, so here's post #2. Long story short, I'm facing divorce after 6 years of being married to my husband. I had an affair, and it was all downhill from there. The affair turned into a full blown secret relationship, and I got really attached. Right now I am considering leaving my husband for this person. I read somewhere that during the infatuation state of an affair, the brain releases a chemical equal to that of being hooked on cocaine. And boy do I believe that! My world is upside down. I'm a mess and I can't think clearly. I know my husband is a one in a million guy. We were GREAT together for 8 years. He is willing to do whatever it possibly takes to forgive me and move past this, I don't want to face the devastation of divorce, and losing my best friend and partner for life. My husband is heart broken, an absolute wreck over this. I feel like I'm making a huge mistake by ending my marriage and starting a new relationship. Has anyone ever been in this situation? I've received advice from both points of view, but I guess what I'm looking for is someone who can speak from experience to either tell me that I'm making a huge mistake I will regret, or otherwise. Any advice or words of experience would be really appreciated.
