Still recovering...

My husband of 20+ years cheated in 2010. I found out at Christmas time that year. We had dated since we were 17 (on and off), so our time together was almost 27 years. I never loved anyone else, even though we both dated other people before we married. After a brutal and horrible separation, he came to his senses and we started talking again. We are back together, but I still feel angry and hurt sometimes. And our children don't trust him. I know now from reading these threads (why I didn't look for these before astounds me - I suppose I had no idea what to do, honestly), I can see we did so much of it the wrong way. My story is long, and the worst pain I've ever endured from someone deliberately trying to hurt me. Thank you all, for letting me feel like I'm not alone. All of the stories here make me feel like I'm not the only one who's gone through these things. It's been two years, and it doesn't sting as it did, but does it ever completely go away? Will I ever feel completely safe with him ever again? Does anyone else have children that can't forgive, either? Thank you all for listening...
