Hi Tyler, Being Me asked me to drop in on you. If you aren't aware, I too have a S involved in an A with another woman. I've also heard the kind of crap you're hearing. Remember, no matter what, they are not responsible for anything they do...in their minds. It gets all twisted up into "if you had of met my needs I wouldn't have had to ..." Trying to reason is useless. I'd give you some really meaningful advice here but I have none! My W and I have agreed to separate. I gave her the choice of leaving the R with OW or ending our M, guess which one she took. All I can say is, that if you are going to separate take your time and do it properly for your family and in order to maintain a healthy (as it can be) R with STBX. Any DBing you do after the separation will hinge on what you do now. The anger will overcome you at times, be prepared. You are right on when you recognize the rollercoaster ride, it's hellish! I'll check in on you again soon.
