I've been struggling with the fact that my H and the OW are moving their stuff into the house in my neighborhood. A marriage ministry I trust told me today that the only way to restore our marriage is for him to break things off completely w/OW, and for the two of us (and our son) to move as far away as possible. I honestly don't see that happening.
I'm extremely discouraged. Although my H has said *I love you* to me recently (a lot better than *ILYBINILWY* of just a few months ago), and wants us to go on a field trip with our son next year, I have to keep reminding myself that he chose to live with this woman. We ML last week, and his sentiments downgraded from *ILY* to *well, I still have... um, feelings... for you...*
I will hang in there as long as I can while I maintain a PMA, continue the 180, and not let my emotions show, but I'm losing a lot of hope that our marriage will survive this crisis.
I'm approaching this like he's a drug addict, alcoholic, etc. -- someone who is *addicted* to another person. The only way he'll ever get better is if HE is willing to make these changes.
I'm gradually making an emotional detachment from my H, my so-called friends, and my community. I just want to put this embarrassment behind me, and move on -- with or without him.
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” - Matthew 19:6
