The influx of other emotions is a possibility but as of this time you need clear up your mind of the reasons why it hurt so much actually and that your husband had cheated on you. It may come as a shock but there is actually one reason for the pain that you felt. And that sole reason is another shocker; you still love your husband.
This is one time in your life where it's a good thing for the sake of your marriage that you are hurting. The fact that you still love him means there is hope that the two of you can work things out. That is, of course, assuming that you are willing to give him one more chance.
Moving On After the Pain from a Cheating Husband
There is a tendency for the pain to stay for sometime but working on your situation together you both can move pass the pain and start on building again your relationship. There are some things you have to remind yourself so that you can escape the missteps and mistakes other couples have unfortunately encountered.
1)Don't rush. It is understandable that with your urgency to go back to the normal situation you would rush and put all the bad things behind. What you had before were not that really grand. It's just that you don't know them yet. Instead of sugar-coating it, why not handle it a bit longer for you to get to the main cause of the issue and be able to work on some serious relationship repair.
2)Open your feelings to him. There is a tendency for you to believe that hiding the hurt that you must be feeling is the favor you extend to him, the reverse is actually the truth. He has to face the consequences of his actions and he must understand the extent of risk he took by cheating. It is a good aid for him so that he may avoid committing the same mistake in the future and causing you more pain if for no other reason.
