I love how well you put feeling into words. Your last couple days post were like reading my own feelings.

so I must be a strong wife...

and I must remind myself that I was not a fool...and am not a fool...h may have made a mistake...but he's home

I am also reminding myself of this. But what do you do when you feel like the fool. I just discover H is in contact with OW. It is like he kicked me when I was down. I don't feel like facing him. Why does H not see that no matter how much he reassures me that he loves me, how great he is at calling from work and how cheerful and helpful he is at home that it seems to mean nothing when he continues to lie. So yes tonight I am the Fool.

Enough of me... I can relate to the work issue. My H also works long hours night and even some weekends. What helps me, is to realize that this isn't his choice. Maybe your H isn't choosing work over time at home. Maybe running his own business and his responsiblity to this business requires him to spend the hours he does.

But you seem to be doing great without my 2cents.
