I went through the same thing 5 years ago. I was able to forgive him, but what I neglected to acknowledge was the wound of rejection in my own heart. I struggled for several years afterwards with low self esteem and selfworth all stemming from the rejection of his affair.
My prayer for you is that as you work through the healing of your marriage that you never lose sight of the awesome and beautiful woman you are in the eyes of your Father.
Your husband's actions speak of the state of his heart and have absolutely nothing to do with the beauty of you.
May God Bless You and Keep Your Heart Rich with His Peace.

Jennifer,
I can tell from your words that you are struggling and rightly so. Infidelity is extremely hard to deal with but with true forgiveness and Christ by your side, healing can begin.
I will pray that with forgiveness and understanding, your marriage will resume and happiness and a close family, will be yours!
Don't give up but keep praying and reading the Bible.
What helps me most when confronting such an issue is what Christ said about forgiveness. When he approached a woman in the act of adultry and when everyone wanted to stone her to death he cried, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." (Of course, everyone through down their stones--for we are all sinners.)
And then he said something to the woman that shows to us all what to do about sin. "Woman, go and sin no more!"
I've always thought that was the best advice to any sinner--man or woman....
