I’m bound to bump into her at the kids’ school or the shops
Dear Coleen,
Recently, I heard through the grapevine that a woman my husband had an affair with five years ago is moving back to the area, which means her kids will inevitably be at the same school as ours. And I’m sure we’ll see her out and about at the shops and so on.
Although my husband and I are in a good place now, this news has triggered lots of fears and emotions, and it’s like I’m living the whole thing again, and I resent him for it.
It hasn’t been easy to stay together. I hated him for a long time and he moved out for several months. He only returned after we’d had six months of therapy.
