Update on my FFFC

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who showed support to me on the FFFC thread. Just an update for everyone;

My marriage has not been great for a while. This pregnancy was not planned but I thought we were doing better. I found out my husband was having an affair. I told him we were over.

After having a little time to cool down and think I've decided to forgive and move forward. He's agreed to start counseling for his PTSD issues from his last deployment that have never been addressed and caused a couple years worth of turmoil in our marriage.

Again I just wanted to thank everyone here. I'll be around. I don't post very frequently but I read just about everything.

Re: Update on my FFFC

  • Wishing you the best and a great rest of your pregnancy. So sorry you've gone through this. I went through a bad experience when I was dating someone a few years ago. Not the same situation, but it was devastating. I suggest some counseling for yourself, too, as it may greatly help you sort through your feelings. :) take care and thanks for sharing with the community.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Wishing the best for you and your family.
  • So sorry you are going through this. Many thoughts for you and your little one as you figure out what your next steps will be.
  • I admire your strength and courage with all of this. PTSD is no joke. It takes someone completely out of their right mind, so I'm glad he is seeking help with that. Like the pp suggested, it might be good for you to do the same, even if is just to vent and be heard. I hope everything works out well for you and the family.
  • I've also seen the effects of PTSD on a relationship (not mine, but a close friend's) and know how hard it can be. I'm also with @hoodoll82 - your decision is the best one for you, whatever is decided, and don't let anyone else make you feel badly about it. A good counseling regimen would include both couples and individual counseling for both of you, so I hope that you get that. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you the best. (Internet hugs)

  • Thank you for sharing with us. I agree with PP about it being a good idea for you to also start a counseling regimen. Continued thoughts and prayers for you.

    I am sorry you are going through this. I am also sorry your husband is suffering with PTSD. It is very hard to deal with and to be part of a support system for someone who is suffering. I have been watching and doing my best to help my dad since his last deployment. I wish you all the best.

  • Thank you so much for being brave enough to share. PTSD is often "invisible" for many of us civilians and I appreciate your open ness about the way it goes beyond just the individual. I hope very much for a good outcome for you and to share your strength. Best of luck and thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.
