My wife wants a "separation" to think about our marriage.
I told her: when you get a job and we can afford two households, if it's not over with him, we are divorcing.
He's clearly not leaving his wife. He's stringing mine along.
Enough is enough.
Now I've got to move my wife towards a marketable skill and press her to get a well-paying job. If she doesn't want in, I think it's time to push her out.
I feel freer now. I care less. I feel less afraid.
The truth is, Olive, as long as he communicates with her, you'll never be able to let your guard down and trust him. You'll have lows for the rest of you time with him as long as she's in the picture.
If he doesn't have the decency, courage or compassion to stop communicating with his lover, he may need to be shocked into it.
