SoccerDad,

Been following your thread.

Repeat after me: "It's NOT all about me. It's not ALL about me. It's not all about ME."

So you "bled" to your family and friends in your emotional agony? What else does she expect? Ever been through anything like this before? And what about her...having an affair? Isn't that kinda like finding emotional support from someone other than your family & friends?

Hang in there...this is tough. The toughest thing you've ever done in your life, right? But your marriage was the biggest commitment you've made so far in your life...and the biggest you'll ever make.

Follow the DB advice...work on you, your goals, dreams, and what makes you happy. Go out with friends...and...casual DATES with women. Yes, that's right...it's a tonic. It makes me realize how much I miss my WAW, how much I want my family back, but it also makes me realize that I'm a human being, who has value, and whom other people like. Work on being happy...it's really not a bad plan, you know?

I'll keep you in my prayers, SoccerDad, and keep fighting the good fight.
