Whenever I start to get impatient or frustrated, I remind myself that it has only been since May that she dropped the bomb, mid-June since she moved out, and the end of June since I got the OM bomb. Wife and OM are still in their "honeymoon" phase, and even then, cracks have appeared.
When wife was dropping off the kids off tonight, I loved seeing and hearing the interaction between her and my oldest son. It reminded me of how wonderful she was/is/can be. She couldn't stay as long as she usually does, but I still got the smile, the hug, and the kiss. And the kids for the next three days.
As you said, craig..."patience, patience, patience, and love."
