Choc,

Hmmm....you need to dial down the expectations! This is a long, long campaign. You didn't get into this situation over night and one confrontational visit isn't going to change it back right away.

Be consequent! You have to show that OVER TIME you are going to do what you said you were, protect your family. Mix it up on the visits to the gym. Be not so predictable ("I'm just trying to get some work outs in but my schedules been a little messed up lately."). Different times and different days.

Remember, it's not the OM that you need to focus on. It's the relationship with your wife. You need to BE the better choice through your actions and entice your wife back to you. While you're doing this you'll start to notice that special gleam in other women's eyes. That means you're doing it right! Just don't get onto that false path of self indulgence because some pretty woman sees you for what you are before you wife does. People will see you for what you are as you go along and you need to guard your heart because it will be easy to succumb to a pretty face who is attracted to you as you do the right things. After all, there are so many women out there looking for a GOOD man that your wife will really, really regret losing you if it comes to that. You will have absolutely no problem attracting a new woman through your new knowledge!

You did well and just need to keep it up and keep your taker under control. Plan a date with the wife, no R talk, just fun. Do something neither of you have done before to create new memories, new connections that don't have anything to do with your past. You da Man!
