Thanks goodfight, I am already doing most of what you reccomended. I am leaving the house for a while to put some distance between us, give her some time to figure things out.

Right now she says that is the only way for her to heal, I owe her that much. We are both in agreement that I am not abandoning my family but doing what is necessary to try and heal the family.

Your advice is much the same that I recieved from an old friend who has gone through the same situations in his marriage, and he and his wife are now happier together than ever before.

I am in this for the long haul and will do whatever it takes to make our M work again.
