Advice on How To Trust
It has been one year since my husband had over 7 affairs.We are so fortuante to have incredible resources, but even with all the meditation, therapy, and support net-working, I still am not sure how to trust. We are separated and takign things very slow. Any advice?

The betrayal you are living with is a grief that challenges our capacity to trust. The one teaching with which I have struggled the most is the teaching that trust includes betrayal. I have been able to integrate trusting G-d through what might look like betrayal but you are being asked to trust your husband. Can you do that? Can you find a place that can "hold" these affairs as events that "needed" to happen? I do know that trust that does not include betrayal is an incomplete trust. I would like to imagine that you two with your resources will find your path.
