I too have been having a tough week or so. Independant of reading this I just posted in my thread a similar view. I have not given up hope but enough is enough.
I had the advantage of knowing what puppy would say, I've found his advice to be both difficult to hear and tough to follow but it has always been helpful.
Hang in there Dan. I had a realization last night that I just can't compete with that life our W's are living. You are only one person and are doing the best you can for your kids. Just like me. It's easy to say "don't be bothered by W's actions" but doing it is another thing entirely.
I don't think I was strong enough when we first spoke of a strong agressive stance re the infidelity in my sitch. I'm not sure I am now but I know that something has to change and as I can only controll myself...Who knows.
Sandi. Thank you for ypur insight. I'll look toward applying it to my sitch as well.
Puppy...been a while but you call it as you see it and are rarely wrong. Your comments about being effective ring through my head every day. (not that I feel like I'm any closer to finding that elusive effective path.)
I wouldn't mind another visit from you all and some suggestions for my sitch. Thank you all for this insight.
