I am with Choc on this one. An EA is still an AFFAIR. I know that with my W, the EA has been the hardest part to break. The A started with an EA, and the EA is/was the glue that held the A together, at least for her.

It is an all or nothing deal....your W can't have you and the EA.

"I'm prepared to follow through, all the way to the end."

...yes, Lodo, you are right - you do have to be prepared to go all the way if you have to. Once I made up my mind on that one, things got a lot easier for me. No longer was my wife the only decision maker in the matter!

Sounds like you are making progress--- keep up it up!
