So through this whole thing we have had no LS agreement. I have been trusting him to provide as he said he would. We did get behind in our house payment and are in process of modification as we speak. , but it was due to his demotion caused by lack of sales. He just told me he got his position back and things are starting to get better.

So I'm thinking how I can meet an Admiration need, so I send him this email yesterday morning. It said basically thanks for the great job on my brakes and also I just wanted to thank you for providing financially for the kids and I and for keeping your word. I have tremendous respect for you that you have done this because when an OW gets in the picture i know it can be hard, but I just want you to know how I appreciate you for taking care of us.

SO GUESS WHAT GUYS?? Last night he says to me hey I had to borrow $12 bucks from our joint account because I put the whole check in. HOLY COW, I met that emotional need and he put the WHOLE check in!
So I say well thanks but are you able to care for your self and eat, and he says yeah I think so I may need to borrow a few buck during the week.

Anyways I can surely see the power of meeting an emotional need, It'll make someone do almost anything-commit an affair or possibly come home. This is why I love the book Surviving An Affair by Willard Harley. Its amazing the power of an emotional need.
