Where I started
I felt like the person I was married to was a complete stranger. I was lost and needed some help making sense out of my marriage and my life. I have been married to my wife for nine years. We both work full time and have always enjoyed our weekends together because it seemed like the only time we could really have to ourselves. Several months ago, she started having to work on Saturday mornings, which cut into our "together time." I didn't complain because she loves her job and I have always supported her. One day while routinely going through the mail, I noticed a phone number that I did not recognize on the phone bill. It had been called thirty-six times in one month. I called the number and the male caller hung up when I asked whose number it was. That evening, I asked my wife whose number she had been calling, and she broke down crying. She said she couldn't lie any more; she had been having an affair with a coworker for two months. I couldn't even react.

Connections
When he first visited MyExpertSolution, Quinn felt a sense of shame and embarrassment; he felt as if the problems in his marriage somehow reflected a failure on his part. He was relieved to find that he could anonymously browse through the information available to him.
He began by reading some information about affairs. He immediately identified with what he was reading and realized that, although he felt outcast, he was not alone. He found an article about the reasons why women often turn to affairs and he began to understand that there are patterns in marriages that can sometimes result in infidelity.
Question
Quinn was now feeling comfortable with the fact that shame and embarrassment are natural reactions to a spouse's infidelity, but he also knew that he had to move beyond those reactions to heal himself and his relationship. He decided that it was the right time to ask for help from someone who understood his situation.
"I found out a couple of months ago that my wife of nine years was having an affair with a coworker. I was blindsided. I never thought she would do something like that to me. I am still completely lost. I don't know who to blame or if anyone should be blamed. I don't know if she is even the person I married. I don't know how to talk to her about the affair and I have no idea if our marriage is worth salvaging. How do I begin to sort out my life?"
