Angsty Cheating Husband Infidelity Forgive Romance - The broken fix #945914

THE BROKEN FIX

Gabriella Finley thought she knew her marriage.

Seven years of inside jokes, shared coffee routines, and the quiet certainty that comes from building a life with someone who sees you completely. Julian wasn't perfect—whose husband is?—but he was hers.

Safe. Permanent. The kind of love that doesn't require constant questioning.
Until their seventh anniversary, when a forgotten hotel receipt destroys everything she believed.
Not a drunken mistake. Not a moment of weakness. A six-month affair—deliberate, sustained, intimate. Julian gave another woman the vulnerability Gabriella had been begging for.
Told her secrets he'd never shared with his wife.
Came home and kissed Gabriella hello with the same mouth that had whispered promises to someone else.

The betrayal isn't just sexual. It's existential. He made her trust him while systematically destroying everything that trust was built on.
Most women would leave. Gabriella wishes she could.
Instead, she demands something harder: the truth. All of it.
Every hotel room, every lie, every moment he chose escape over honesty.
And Julian—terrified, shattered, finally facing what he's done—has to decide if he's capable of the kind of brutal transparency that might save them.
Separate apartments. Separate therapies. Brutal conversations that leave them both bleeding. This isn't reconciliation—it's excavation. And neither of them knows if there's anything left worth saving under all the wreckage.
Forgiveness isn't a gift. It's a decision Gabriella makes every single day, knowing it might destroy her.

Staying isn't weakness—it's the hardest thing she's ever done. But can you rebuild trust with someone who proved they can lie to your face for months?
Can love survive when safety is gone forever?
Some marriages end with an affair. This one has to decide if it begins there.
For readers who believe love isn't about never breaking—it's about what you do after.
