Agree with Bond -- WAY TOO WORDY.

And agree with Allen - the last line ruins the rest of the strong stand.

Cut the length of it by 2/3rds, and close with "My patience is not without limits -- please don't underestimate me" or something similar.

How about:
"I have been very patient, but my patience does have it's limits, the decision should be made soon"

Better.

I told my wife something similar, adding "Every day, I'm losing what's left of my love for you."

I don't like the idea of presenting this as a decision... It seems to dignify this affair... Is that what you want her to think?

and rather than "soon" how about... End this or I will end it for you...

Trying to shorten, probably tommorrow night, couldnt tonight, she has appt by his house, so I dont wat her in his arms within hours of me hitting her with this

"This is our home, and our family, we built this together, and it is ours together. I want to be in a committed, honest, loving and fun relationship with you. This can not happen as long as you are in an emotional or a physical affair, with OM, or any other man. It disrespects myself, our vows, our family, and our faith. This marriage doesn’t have room for three people.

D1 and D2 deserve an honest, stable, and loving environment which we provide them. A loving committed mother, wife, and friend will always be welcome in our children’s home.

If you want a fun life full of love with me and our girls, our marriage, and our friends, you will need to end all contact with him, forever.

If you put the affair , and it‘s unholy destruction, above the needs of our family, and continue causing damage and confusion to our children, and marriage, I can not support you.

You need to be aware that the affair. it's participants, and the pain and drama that it causes are never welcome in our home."

I’m a very patient man, but this needs to be resolved soon.

PS - Is this a bad use of 'unholy'

It IS a decision, and he can't make it for her. All he can do is communicate his own Boundaries of Personal Integrity ("I will not live in an open marriage"), and let her know what the consequences are if she violates them.

I think it all depends on whether you're going for COMMITMENT, or COMPLIANCE. Me, I'd rather have commitment.

Still way too wordy. You're trying to "teach" her. You can't teach an adulteress.

OK - any better

OR - you probably like this:

I cant hack it, grab your jacket, pack it, take the affair and sack it, and don’t come back til you done with that racket.

LOL -- hahahahah!!!

Yeah, this is much better. I do think you should include the phrase "I will do what it takes to protect myself an our children." But that's just me.
