Well, Aurorke, it doesn't matter who was to blame - we're older people and we make our own decisions. Of course, he is a fool to deceive a hot woman, but maybe your relationship after so many years has suffered from routine, and you probably are already going into a critical and here women often suffer from moods and neglect their partners in the bed and beyond. The reasons are complex, no one is to blame for such things. Stop blaming anyone else because you don't change the circumstances. Ask yourself if you had a partner and a life partner in his face, but also if you had a lover and a husband in his face. He was definitely the father of the children he looked after, and no one can take that away from you, but the future is a little more complicated because you're no longer bound by debt, and again, as in the beginning, we are talking about you two as a couple, and yes - as a love couple. Your generation was brought up not to talk about "such things" and to deprive themselves of a lot of things after a certain age, because that's how it should be, but we live in the 21st century and today one lives longer, secondly lives a longer active life. You have another 15 years of active life, you still have at least 20-30 years of retirement age, for which you need a life partner, a friend and yes - a lover, because age does not exclude intimacy in the relationship. For men, sex is very important at any age and they often feel unloved, rejected and unwanted if there is no sex, even if there are logical other explanations such as health and other problems. For women, on the other hand, friendship is important, the attitude that many men forget. The most difficult are long relationships for life. They involve a lot of compromises, going through thin and thick with the person next to you. At the age of 50, people were already looking after grandchildren and the first pains began, and the retirement age was 2-3 years away - today it is not so! You are at a very active age and you are the first generation that has a chance to be economically active after 60 years. After your children have left the family nest, you remain again - the couple and it is quite natural to have problems, but look at things positively - a new beginning can be a refreshment and awakening of romantic love, which will put you back in the center. as a man and a woman, not as a mother and a father. For your children - do not spare them, just no reason, they are great people with their own lives. If they ask about your problems, you don't lie to them, because lying is the ugliest thing in human relationships, and only information can allow them to understand your behavior towards their father, who will always be dear and dear to them, and they will protect him if they see that you treat him badly. Well, you don't have to share the details, because it's none of their business. As for your husband, I'm more sorry for him and funny. It's like a puppy that has decided to try a new food and has come across something spoiled. In his "old" years, he became pessimistic and exposed himself terribly. Maybe he just lacks experience with women at all, because he's been with you all his life and he's naive despite his age. That's why we get married much later today - everyone tries to gain their experience first, but the positive thing about you is that you are quite young when your debts to the children run out and you can start again. So be brave - do not underestimate yourself at all. You have a chance for a new start with a new person, but you also have a chance for a new start with the old one, but no longer as "mom and dad", but like you and him, as a man and a woman. If you decide to take home the dirty puppy, don't forget to play with him a little and let him court you with a clear conscience, but in no case reject him as a dirty and useless person, because after all this is the father of your children and you have a lot in common. past - does not deserve such treatment despite your mistake and it is better to separate if you just want to take revenge and humiliate him. If you can't forgive, you'd better part in peace, but don't treat him like a picky witch, because you'll be bad in the end, even though he made the mistake. For example, if you are not physically ready for it yet, it is good to have two separate rooms, but it is very ugly if you put it in your bed and push it away. You can also tell him directly that you are not ready yet and sleep in the old children's room or living room, for example. You can even tell him directly - well, he has to convince you that it's worth it for you ... :), which for an intellectual woman, for example, would mean a lot of going to theaters, cinemas, cafes, thinking trips for Saturday and Sunday - we recover I'm telling you realistically - you're a free woman now and he has to win you back. If you let him live with you again, you're in a bit of a hurry ... Otherwise, don't dramatize unnecessarily. I don't think he will make such a mistake again, but don't forget also sex in your relationship, which for men at this age is very important not only for the soul, but also for the body. This is probably what attracted the lady in question. Don't blame her - it's not the bone's fault, but the dog's ... your husband made a mistake, but he is no different as a man, neither physically nor as a character, a person, and so on. Yes, definitely make him fight for you if you decide to take him back, but you have made this decision. You MUST have forgiven it and NEVER again in your life to put the issue on the agenda, to push and try to try it. you are annoyed, for example, by another problem, because that will ruin your new relationship because of old nonsense. It's only natural that he blames his mistress otherwise, but you know he was a fool and either forgive or move on. His mistress no longer has anything to do with your life and it is unnecessary to shake your head with her and give him a chance to justify himself with her for his stupidity, because for a foolish man women will always be whores, but he will not admit that he is stupid and naive. Decide otherwise quickly, do not compromise ... for example, the first step is to sit down and talk without emotions, to tell him how you felt (betrayed) and what you expect in the future. If you are not physically ready to be with him at this stage, it is much better to have separate bedrooms, but do not hit him, for example, if he reaches out to hug ... and set boundaries and deadlines in advance. Look for hobbies and activities outside of marriage in general ... that makes you more interesting to men in general. However, if it doesn't work out, if you can't forgive, don't waste a long time with this person. It is quite legitimate not to take it back and look for your luck elsewhere. You don't owe him anything, you raised your children and so on - just go ahead.

You don't write how old you are both and whether you still love him, whether they connect you with friendship, intimate life ... It is also important if you are ready to forgive, but sincerely, because many people take back their prodigal husbands, but few forgive they end up in nervous quarrels, insinuations and small avengers in everyday life. If you're going to live like this, I don't think it's worth taking it back. However, if you truly love him and even romantically, if you are ready to forgive him sincerely and if you believe in him - accept him back. You have to make this decision for yourself. Otherwise, I guess you're about 50 and even younger. You are still young and you have a chance for another relationship, for another man with whom to spend the golden half of your life. It happens to many people your age. It's a problem for many men, that their women become less sexual or even refuse sex altogether, and for women this is often the time when they feel free to pursue their own interests. In fact, you don't owe anyone anything - you raised your children, I guess, and now, for the first time since your marriage, it's really about you as individuals, not a debt to children and society. So think of yourself as you thought as a girl without obligations - do you love this man, does he make you happy or not. There is no wrong or right decision if you are true to yourself and do not make stupid compromises that will make you a nervous and grumpy woman. If you and your husband have real feelings and friendship, I see no obstacle to reuniting. Otherwise, he does not think that there are men and people of second and third use. Your husband was not physically or mentally injured, because he was with another woman. At most, he has gained a little life experience, but as individuals we do not change from such things. We just go through different periods of our lives and make mistakes - this thing is human and that's why we are human. You are also not second-hand, but you are - it is quite possible to find love, friendship elsewhere, so do not compromise, but really choose the best for yourself and only for yourself. Your man betrayed you once, freeing you from your marriage vows - now you are on the move and you have the freedom to decide, which is wonderful :) Both possible solutions are legitimate and no one will be angry with you if not you take it back We just go through different periods of our lives and make mistakes - this thing is human and that's why we are human.
