He did tell me once that he was "sorry", but doesn't seem to sincere or fully express regrets. My husband says he understands how I feel and that my feelings of hurt and betrayal are justified, but basically chalks it up to it being my problem. Desipte the dishonest and secrecry, and the likelyhood the woman has feelings for him, he believes it was "just a friendship" and that I am "over reacting". His response to my discovery has ranged from intially feeling angrily justified to paralysis. He is willing to disconnect from the woman, in an far removed, logical and disconnected manner, and that I should feel satisfisied with this.
However, I believe if I can't convince him this was inappropriate, I fell it will happen again with her or another woman. Plus, I do not want my children to get the idea that it is okay for their father to have a "special friend", and for them to see me turn a blind eye to this behavior. We need to restore the trust in our marraiage and without acknowledgement and willingness on his part to make it right, I'm not convinced I will trust him again. What words can I use to convince him how this behavior, along with this connection and level of emotional intimacy he had with this divorced woman was inappropriate?
