My husband and I have been married for many wonderful and happy years. And my husband has always had a intense sexual appetite which we have never had any problems satisfying. But now his job has taken him out of town for long periods of time. Joe is one of those light hearted, fun harmless flirts. and this time he flirted w/ the wrong woman who came back strong and he fell into temptation. He says they were only together one time for about 20 min. Within days he confessed everything to me. Total regret and remorse, tears, on his knees, you name it. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to do, and i have decided that years of happiness, lives of our children, love are too great to sacrifice over one mistake. Now to the point of the question. In the last few months, Joe's guilt has been creating a big black hole. He says that when he's away from us he feels empty, so empty in fact that even talking to me on the phone brings him no comfort. He says that he knows that he loves me more than anything in this world that being w/out me would kill him. He's convinced that he doesn't deserve me or the kids. He's miserable, depressed. Is this normal for him to feel this way. And me, the way I feel? I was blindsided and betrayed and have stood up for what I want and believe, for better or worse, in good times and bad. Now I want him to stand up, be a man and get our lives back on track. HELP
