Your suspicions were justified. You moved on to the next step to stay or go and how do we fix it and if I stay this is what I expect. If I remember right, he gave you full on permission to check his email and cell log after he admitted to an affair and promised to end it and never do it again?
I agree. Once trust is broken its very hard to get back. It comes down to how you deal with the feelings. I personally would not want to live always wondering, feeling sick at the thought of, and with the emotional turmoil of it all. Of course, I am speaking of affairs. There are different levels of trust for different actions. If my partner took all the money out of the checking account for whatever reason without telling me. I wouldnt trust him with my money again and would just make it inaccesable to him understanding that what he does with his money is his business as long as the bills are not suffering and making sure I could take care of it on my own if I had to. I am a firm believer there is no reason for an affair but that is a whole other topic along the lines of if you want to sleep with someone else, lets talk about it...you never know. Attraction for others is human nature.
I also agree here. Human emotions and actions vary and are vary unpredictable from one to the next.
Good. This was the right decision for you. I personally am still of the opinion that I would feel to guilty myself to snoop around. Kind of like a hypocrit in that I am sneaking around and hiding stuff to find out why he is.
