Nothing. Which is why he needs to move out. I don't want to witness it....ah, I see....IOW, he is getting to have his cake and eat it too, and I am letting him do it.

One of these days he will not "strike out" at the bar, and instead of tm'ing you to get "fired up" he will go home with some ho. Hopefully you will recognize the change in him, and know that he has had sex with someone else (I was going to say "been unfaithful" but that ship has sailed). Then I hope that at least you have a box of condoms in the night stand to protect yourself with.


Gulp. you aren't one to mince words, are you.
Talk about tough love.

I feel like I am in a no-win situation.
If I cut him off, then it seems even MORE likely that he will go out and find some 'ho' to do it with. How does that save my marriage?

If I don't cut him off, but turn into strictly booty call, I may have kept him 'pure' sexually, but demeaned myself in the meantime as he goes out and does his thing without me.

On the other hand- we have agreed to see each other while he is moved out, so if we go OUT and have a nice DATE, is it that inappropriate to have a nice "time" ;\) after?

He has told his parents there is a chance that we would be able to work our marriage out. My goal is to keep that thought alive in his mind (somewhere, if not in the forefront.)
