You cannot truly work on your marriage unless you GIVE UP the OW. Not cool things down, I mean GIVE UP! You have the potential to change your marriage. But, you cannot work on your marriage if you have a "back-up plan" that involves an OW. YOU CANNOT! You're not being fair to your kids, your wife, or even the OW. You are just plain being selfish. Pull your head out and man up to your family.
