Patrick, I don't know your situation very well. However, I have been doing this for 17 months now and I still miss my W everyday. What keeps me sane is how rediculous this whole thing is. When I look at the big picture I can say, I had money troubles, it hurt W, she became friends with some morally questionable people who convinced her she was a lebsian and had to get a D to be happy. She now she lives with some woman that is completely the opposite of W. W drinks every day where she never did before and she is having panic attacks.

Do I think this is a long term situation? NO! And that is what keep me going.

I don't mean to go on about myself. I only mean to illustrate that the life our Ws are leading is not normal and our Ws are troubled people. An affair is just an affair. It hurts but it will end. She may claim to love him, be soul mates, be meant for each other but it is all crap. It is one damaged person taking advantave of another damaged person. It will fail.

In the mean time, better yourself in whatever way you feel you need to better yourself. Don't stand in front of her as a broken man, be a strong confident man. She will notice and when her affair fails, you will be standing there ready to pick up the pieces.
