When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.
-Job 2:12, NIV
The early days of infidelity discovery are awful!
I want to encourage you if you find yourself in this part of the horror show. It does get better!
When I went through what I experienced, I remember having to remind myself to eat. Basic life functions were hard to do in the face of such a traumatic discovery.
If you are at all like me, you just want the pain to stop. This makes you vulnerable to a lot including further manipulations by your cheater.
Clear-headed friends are incredibly helpful during this time. They can exhort you not to ignore the facts and acknowledge that no good options are left on the table for your marriage.
This is when your reality needs affirmation.
Yes, it happened. Yes, your spouse engaged in a lifestyle of deception to abuse you. Yes, this is incredibly unjust.
