Triggers
Im struggling with trigger words. Like hearing the word condoms, makes me angry because it reminds me of the affair. Other times someone will casually mention a place or event and it sets me off. I feel like I’ve been robbed of these words/events because they transport me to a memory of the affair. I don’t know, does that even make sense? I know it will take time. But it’s frustrating knowing that other people talking about something that should be so innocent, can have so much power over me. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with these triggers and move past them, it’d be greatly appreciated.

Lying
This is all still very fresh for me, but we WANT to reconcile. I’m struggling with the lying/trusting. Like how he could lie to my face for so long? On the one hand I feel like I don’t even know my own husband. On the other, I want to make things better and start fresh. But how do you get past the lying and begin to trust again?
