Divorce question
Relationship Stress / by crimsonMelon1996

...See more Me and my wife have been going through ups and downs the last few months. She threatened to divorce me in April. We worked through it at the time as neither wanted a divorce. It always felt like she was not giving me a voice in the relationship. I never felt like we ever got back to where we were before threats of divorce , I always felt the other shoe was about to drop. I couldn't escape the feeling. I ended up seeing a girl on the side In July(I guess I was tired of trying to fight for a relationship) and cheated on my wife of 4 years. Unfortunately my wife is a narcissist and I am a pleaser so we created our own shitty dynamic. My wife has said she is going to change a ton of things about her self so she can be with me. I want to be with her yet I am heavily burdened with guilt for cheating on her for the last 2 months. My wife has started going to counseling and she stopped drinking every night. Do I just end the relationship because of my actions or do I stop cheating and focus on my wife and put the past behind me? I don't want to break her heart even more by telling her I cheated on her. I know this all sounds bad and you haven't lived in my shoes so constructive criticism is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
