I just realized that this time feels so different because, for Round One, I think we were in couples therapy working with a skilled sex addiction specialist to REPAIR our relationship within a week after discovery.
This time, we are living apart, in limbo, we've had only one couples session and I don't know if I see a way we can repair. That is why the grief is so intense right now. I was abruptly severed from my primary relationship and now we've been living separately for 23 days - the longest we've ever been apart, I think. It really feels like sudden death. The last time did, too, in other ways. But at least we were together and working toward recovery and rebuilding. This time I am alone.
