Neecy,

A separation (or a divorce, if it comes to that) will NOT be "your decision." You merely laid out your boundaries of personal integrity, the conditions by which you were willing to stay in the marriage. No reasonable person can be expected to maintain a marriage while their spouse is actively engaging in an affair, blatantly, right under their nose, and to say "I can't stop" is weak and morally indefensible.

No, the consequences, previously stated, merely KICKED IN, and they kicked in by HIS actions, not yours.

Let me ask you: if you tell a child "if you don't clean your room, you are grounded for one day," and they say "I'm sorry, I just can't clean my room," and you ground them, is that YOUR decision, or a CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR ACTION???

Stay strong.
