Ladies who have been cheated on and stayed..

My boyfriend cheated on me in February of this year with a coworker. It was more of an affair than a one-time thing, that lasted about 3 weeks. He insists they only got physical one time, oral sex that lasted a minute before they both stopped, unable to go though with it. She also has a boyfriend. I found out when I went to use our shared computer, he left his email open and I saw her name in his inbox. They had been emailing each other in lieu of texting, mostly sexually explicit things they wanted to do to each other. I was completely taken by surprise. Reading the emails I discovered that she had come to our house a couple of evenings while I was at work, and my boyfriend's sudden commitment to walking our dogs regularly, in all weather, was because they were meeting up together.
Even now, 7 months later, it still makes me sick to my stomach to write this and think about it. It hasn't been easy, to say the least. Unfortunately the content of those emails are burned into my brain and I can hear him saying those things in my mind. What makes it worse is that we have a son, who had just turned one at the time he started cheating. That first year had been ROUGH, and I was finally feeling normal (post partem), getting more sleep, having more time to myself. Our relationship had suffered, but I felt that we had managed to get through it together and things could 9w
