    True, She could have divorced on this ground first instead of cheating on him.

    Important skill for discussion is ones capability to take a different perspective.

    Perspective-taking is about being able to understand a situation from the point of view of another person which helps to explore further.

    The biggest trap of perspective-seeking is reaching out to people who have the same point of view as you as a way to validate a hard decision you want to make.

    A perspective is not right or wrong by default. It just is what it is: the point of view of a single person based on their life experiences and values, among other things. We each have one; sometimes we share it with others, and sometimes we do not.

    Thank You justanothergirl
    If impotency, a medical condition on which the person has no control is a crime, then adultery, by choice is a bigger crime at least in the eyes of god.

    True. When a op posts and have already accepted their mistakes, isnt it rude to use words like shame on you and further victimize them.

    Impotency is not a crime, hiding it was.
    But only god and the husband knows if he knew prior to marriage

    "shame on you", would never be from me.
    Adultery is a big deal. "Sorry, it was a mistake", does not cut it. Every action has consequence. Face it and go forward.
    Bringing impotency as an issue after the adultery is beating the dead horse.
    Double Whammy! self esteem is already down due to impotency, on top adultery has created an open wound - a reminder of his impotency.

    Sorry, without being medically tested, how would one know? Out of the blue you don't go and test for cancer. Everyone's sexuality is different and that is not indicative of some one's impotency.
    Perhaps, it should be mandatory, that every man and and woman should test for their reproductive functionality prior to marriage. It won't be a bad idea to test for sexually transmitted diseases at the same time.

    OP - I think you should talk to your DH and acknowledge that you did hurt him by your deed. He probably wants that acknowledgment and all his accusations are probably because of that.

    It's best you don't disclose about his issues to anyone other than the people you have already confided in. If someone in a long standing marriage decided to confide in me the fact that she was leaving her spouse due to impotency because after having an affair she now knows what she is lacking, I wouldn't be able to trust her. Simply because I would think the impotency is an excuse to get away with having had the affair.

    You not only had the affair, you kept it under wraps. You didn't try to get a divorce even after your affair began. You chose to stay married until your partner found out about this other man 18 months or so down the line. All of that doesn't look too favorable for you. Try talking to your spouse and acknowledging his hurt. Maybe it will help get the mutual consent divorce.
