Cobra - I have done exactly what you have suggested continuously for the past year or more
I have set my boundaries, I have made him be responsible for his actions, I have suggested that he think about the pain his actions have caused other people (all with the guidance of two different counselors - the first one passing us onto the second one because he felt he could go no further with us - and now we are running into the second one saying the same thing. And this guy is VERY experience - some 30 years)
My only other alternative is to pull the plug - is that what you do with a 10 year old boy - no. I have been there for him, through thick and thin, 2 affairs with escorts, depression on and off for pretty much all our marriage. Do I need to go on? I HAVE stuck by him and given him the love and support no other woman has ever given him (his words, not mine) and still I live with a man that is not there emotionally for me because he cannot connect emotionally with himself.
