We've been married 7 years next week. We have 2 kids--a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 3. We were drifting apart well before now. Effectively, neither of us felt loved by the other. She had the affair with a man she worked with. The affair lasted about a month. They went out to eat and such, and during that period, she had sex with him once.
I found out about it 4 weeks ago, and she broke it off with him. We have been going to counseling, and she and I have recommitted to each other. She has repeatedly and profusely apologized for the entire affair, and I sincerely believe she is regretful, and that she won't do it again. I love her dearly, and I know now that she loves me, but she made a mistake.
The problem is with me. I still feel very hurt and I can't bring myself to forgive her for it. I want to badly, because I see her cry about it from guilt. I can't ask her to apologize for it forever. How do I get past it? I love her and have no intentions of leaving her.
