Quote: "Well thanks for the positive encouragement you two"
Thanks for your opinion.
Funny thing, I thought that the bible is full of truth. I thought that the truth was a positive thing to give someone.
Maybe I am just weird, but I would rather someone tell me truth, or an honest opinion, than blow sunshine up nether regions any day.
I thought I was offering positive encouragement.
Sometimes, all the patience and good intentions in the world won't accomplish a thing. Your situation is an example. Your ACTIONS brought about changes in your relationship, not just feeling good.
Change also doesn't have to take a long time either.
Heywyre has chosen to stay in her relationship. I respect her decision. I respect her. I do not think that her husband's actions are respectable, however, so I voiced my honest opinion as to his motivations.
In my OPINION, accepting repeated bad behavior from someone, anyone (including a spouse), is simply a bad idea.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
