DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my husband had an affair, he was remorseful and I agreed to take him back for our children’s sake.

But I struggled to get my head around his betrayal, especially as he had lied to me repeatedly – even attending marriage counselling with me while carrying on with his lover.

I’m 43 and he’s 45. We had been married for 15 years.

You assured me that couples could recover from infidelity if both partners wanted to make it work.

Their relationship could even become stronger.

And I read your support pack, Cheating, Can You Get Over It?, which was very helpful.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out because my husband changed his mind again, saying his lover gave him the sex and affection I couldn’t provide.

Confused, I wrote to you several more times, and each time you quickly replied, helping me to work through my feelings and make my own decisions.

Even though we did finally split, I got so much benefit from your insights and support through the last painful months of our marriage. Thank you.
