I [30F] admitted to my husband [32M] of 10 years that I cheated and... I don't know that he cares. Idk where to go from here.

I have not ended his life. He is 32 years old. He can go find someone else if he wants or he can rebuild with me. I have talked to my therapist extensively about this, and while I of course take all the blame here and I know that what I did was reprehensible, I am not a terrible person who should burn in hell. He cheated on me early in our relationship but I thought it was worth it to stay and rebuild, and I'm glad I did. What I did was worse because we are married and have a child, yes, but we have been through difficult things before and if he wants to stay with me we will rebuild after my fuck up too. I'm sorry but all the abuse I've gotten has reminded me of all the work I've put in with my therapist and how much I've worked on seeing myself as a decent person who did a horrible thing. So keep calling me whore, cunt, scum, a life-ruiner if it makes you feel good. But I don't believe that's what I am.
