Hello,

I'm looking for support with a very hard and heart breaking situation I find myself in. My partner was diagnosed with a rare and currently incurable cancer two years ago and is on targeted therapy. My world turned upside again after finding out an emotional affair had been taking place too. It's caused huge ruptures and a complete conflict of emotions. I feel at a loss as to how to navigate all these feelings. We are trying couples therapy but it's very hard and I'm not sure we are getting anywhere with both of us holding legitimate pain. We have two young children in the mix too. 

If anyone has experience of this I'd love to hear from you (although I wouldn't wish this on anyone!)
