Wife keeps calling me for financial assistance. I know she has been seeing someone else (she admitted). She claims nothing has happened but I know she is lying. I do not know what to do. I want to save this marriage but the interferance for the OM is making this very hard. I read somewhere that affairs generally last about 3-6 months. This is the second time this has happened. Finances are the catalyst. See "She's not in love anymore."
It sure is ! That is when it really helps to find things to take the mind off of it all.. and put yourself into perspective as a person and your own best friend !
Hi there...sorry to hear that you two aren't together, but let me state that I had an A, so did my H, we are D now, he lives with hos OW. I didn't know he was cheating, until we were getting D...
You know that the OM is not the issue...never will be, but it's how you react to it - that matters.
You need to focus on you...changes you need to make that will improve the overall state of your M.
If you need to diet, change clothes, cut hair - do it. Keep a PMA every time...be polite to her, don't argue, don't accuse...so what, she's having an A or has in the past...people are dying in Iraq daily, never to come home again...you see how unimportant an A is. It's a red flag telling you both...the M is in trouble. Correct the problems or move on.
Work on all the issues that are against the R - change you in all this that led up to her having an A - do not worry another second about the A - she wasn't "pure" when you M her, so what is the complaint now?
I don't mean that in a negative way - but to impress upon you that the focus has to be on you and what you can do to make yourself the "love of her Life" as you once were.
Exactly ! Focus on YOU Troy. Why did your W marry you ? Why did you marry your W ? What has changed in your life ? and what has caused the changes ? You know the answers.. We dont.. Tell me.. ?
Troy~ Listen to AT and 12102006 they offer outstanding advice. Focus on yourself first and foremost. And when you are done focusing on you, turn around and then focus on yourself some more.
Keep your head up.
