What is the name of your state? GA

My husband and I are on the brink of divorce. We are separated in house, which is taking it's toll on us both. 7 years ago my husband committed adultery and eventually we worked through it-well, kind of. Can I bring that up now as grounds for divorce even though there is not an affair going on at this time?

No, you can't. However, I don't believe that you need "grounds' in GA, you can go for a no-fault divorce.

Go get yourself a consult with a local attorney to understand just where each of you stands on everything.
