Dear Hurting in Utah

Sounds like bitterness and hurt have filled your heart. It's very hard to go back to a normal relationship when someone has betrayed you. Sometimes it's so easy to turn and move on, away from the hurt and pain. My question to you right now is, 'Have you forgiven him?"
Do you know the feelings inside your heart when you have forgiven someone of a wrongful deed? You feel set free! Your heart feels light. You have no grudge or contention in there towards that person. You don't OWN their mistake! It's actually a glorious feeling when it comes down to it. It would be easy to move on and have a 'functional' life if you feel this way and truly do not want to be with him any longer and feel no love. If you have not forgiven him, this will become baggage wherever you go. I would strongly advise that if you haven't forgiven him, then to work on this first before making such a life changing decision of divorce. Sometimes, when we don't forgive others for their mistakes, it distorts and twists how we feel about them. Our vision is clouded and blurred to the point that our heart becomes filled with dislike, hate or indifference toward that person. How can we make a serious decision when we feel like that!??
Search within yourself, make sure you have forgiven him for any betrayal of trust, and then move forward with your decision. Trust me, you will know when your heart is right if it's the right choice or not. Trish --Advice Between Friends
