Having some mixed success/failure, now what?

[Nomopo]

but the unspoken assumption was that she could continue carrying on her affair. She receive a rather cool response, but I told her I would think about it.

What do you think about this? Is this something you could handle?

Then I asked her to forgive me.

Trying to get your needs met prematurely.

Had a whole speech worked out, and I really meant it. Did really well, too.

What speech? Planned a R talk?

Then the feces struck the rotary oscillator, as it were.

A common result in R talks.

I fell into and out of limbic mode, told her some stuff I really shouldn't have. Basically blew it.

Want to give us details? Moving on is fine too. Just get back on the horse. Honestly, it probably isn't as bad as you think.

I think I'm pretty much ascendant upon an unsanitary tributary without the proper means of transportation, so to speak.

I doubt it.

Edit: Aw, heck. What do I care, anyway? This is her mess, and I'm just trying to do the best I can for myself and my son. Right?

Right?

Right. You just need to decide if saving/re-building your M is best for you and your son.

Hang in there,
