Chocolate, you have done everything right in this sitch. You absolutely had to be strong and not give in...had you not, it may have taken longer, but she would have done the same thing. I am just glad you didn't stay in it longer than you did and get hurt even worse, if that is even possible. My ex was terribly weak going back to his ex-wife and stayed with her for 2 more years. She did the same things also, over and over again, and more affairs to boot. I agree...get your house situation straight, that is very important. You are amazingly strong and will get through this. I have been just as hurt, and I can promise you, in time you will meet someone who appreciates you and you WILL be happy again. You deserve that. But one day at a time...
