I am sorry you are here. As you know, you will get a lot of good advice.
I am newbie as well, my sitc has been going on for about 6 weeks. I think the best advice I have been getting is patience, patience, patience. I keep thinking if I could only just KISS my wife, everything will be okay. Although there are some success stories, the most important thing to remember is to treat yourself to GAL and doing things for you and your children. Keep a positive mental attitude and don't drag yourself into R talks. Much of the advice you will recieve will be counter to your thinking - at least I am finding this big time. But follow what the posters are saying, read the DR book.
Remember, this is about you and your children, and whatever is meant to be, will be.
Peace,
CBK
