Brokenhearted,

Thanks for your words of wisdom, I appreciate it so much. You are right I need to back off and not push this. This is his issue to solve, and I totally get the mourning an old relationship, in a lot of ways it is recent, because he only just came clean about it and interacted with her, and is obviously still dealing with the issues himself.

I will try hard to back off, let him take the lead, go to counseling on his schedule, not push it, and try above all to be patient and understanding. One of his biggest complaints was not being able to talk to me about the big stuff, so I will be open and listen and validate, and not try and sell the used car.

This is hard, and I know I can live through it, and be okay.

Thanks for the reminder.
