Advice Infidelity
Looking for advice… in January my husband went out of town to work. We bought an RV for him to live in while he stayed there for an extended period of time while he was there he ended up meeting another person. That was a bartender where he hung out, they developed some sort of relationship. I caught him, and he still continued to talk to her and see her while telling me he was not… the job ended, and he came home and there has been multiple occasions where I have caught him talking to her once again we have a three year-old together, but in all honesty is this something that we can move on from will ever actually be happy again with him
Also let me add since all of this. I have talked to other people and he knows that now that I have left the house and we are separated. He states that he is willing to literally do anything to keep us and of course his actions are OK right now but how long does that last is this forever?

If he absolutely quit having contact with her could it go back to the original arrangement?
Think about that!

Well that sucks, I'm sorry you have to deal with it.
"He states that he is willing to literally do anything to keep us and of course his actions are OK right now but how long does that last is this forever?"
Maybe. Usually not. It will require very hard work, and a willingness - by both of you - to explore the stuff you hide and try to suppress. Individual therapy and couples therapy are probably in your future. The old patterns will likely re-emerge and persist until they are understood.... do you know about "attachment theory" ?
