Lately, my husband has been very quiet and seemed troubled. Yesterday, he finally told me he's been feeling guilty because he cheated on me 10 years ago.
I made light of it because I felt sorry for him, I could see what the guilt was doing to him. I told him not to worry as it was a long time ago. I forgave him and told him that the very fact that he still felt guilty so long afterwards showed me he's basically a good and decent person. And I do believe that.
However, the news did actually shake me a little but I told myself it was so long ago and that we now have a happy and strong relationship.
So why do I now feel so anxious and physically unwell? This morning I've woken to aches and pains throughout my body and that anxious feeling in my chest.
Why should I react now to something that really has no impact on my life today?
