An update: He is moving back to his family and he has promised me that he is stepping down from coaching. I just hope that he doesn't try and make me out to be the bad guy here. He wants to tell people that we simply are not getting along and that is why we are splitting. I am just relieved that he is leaving. I hope that he continues to do the right thing and gets the help that he needs.

The specific circumstances vary, but many of us (all of us?) can relate to that feeling of betrayal. It takes time to trust again. With my friends and family, my experience is that restoring trust after trust has been broken will take at least 6 months. Sometimes it takes many years before trust is restored.

I agree with others. Forgive now, but reconciliation is not so immediate. I think that your husband will need to do more to earn your trust.

Sometimes an act of unfaithfulness tears apart a marriage. Maybe more often, it's a spouse's inability to forgive and trust again that eventually tears apart a marriage.

Best wishes. I've found the book Boundaries in Marriage to be really helpful for this type of thing. Perhaps first trusting God to work it out will be key, and then trusting your husband will follow if he proves himself trustworthy.

You know, the funny thing about all of this is that I prayed for a Christian husband. I long for the protection, guidance, respect and love that a good Christian husband can give. When I prayed for him I guess I should have been more specific. :(
