I spent some time over in MLC doing some reading. Over there, a lot of them are dealing with infidelity issues and they talk about MLC taking 2-5 years to play out. I guess that I'm just a big weakling compared to them, because I'm not willing to spend the next couple of years alone as a single parent hoping that she finally wakes up from the craziness she is going through and decides to try and work things out with me.Dan
3-5 years??? I cannot even imagine . . .
I think it's one thing if your spouse is faithful, and is working on issues with you (and you with them). Then I think it falls into the "it took us many years to get to this place; it's going to take us several years to get it back" category. But if they're committing adultery, and lying to you about it, I do not know of anyone who can handle that for more than 6-12 months, without it starting to take some SERIOUS tolls on their self-esteem and even overall emotional and physical health.
