I found out my husband of 6 years was seeing someone outside of the marriage. He had been lying to me on his whereabouts for more than 6 months. Long story short, he's promised to cut ties off with her except professionally (they work together but on different teams). We are going to go for counselling, in hopes to help us both communicate with each other better. How do I learn to trust again? I can't get over thinking what if he continues to see her behind my back. He's a good dad otherwise. We have 2 below 5. And I told him I'd rather cut things off between us if he can't let go of her, since he's already broken his marriage vows.

I think it is good that the both of you have taken the first step to try to salvage the marriage, by attending counselling. We have had clients who eventually decided to forgive their spouses and withdrew the divorce proceedings. They were able to make their marriage work. You may wish to speak to the counsellor on rebuilding trust with your husband. Hope everything works out well!
