Walking away many times can be the BEST thing to saving your marriage.
I did all the wrong things initially, but ended up doing all the right things, over a span of 2.5 YEARS. People comment on my relationship with my kids, my family and extended family loves me, my friends want to be with me, my church respects me. My kids' teachers cry for me, and sympathize with me. My kid's coaches look up to me.
My children are 6 and 8 and inherently know that I'M doing the right thing.
I completely lost my strong personality in trying to save the marriage. I really truly found myself last month, and I did it by "walking away". I'm not leaving my marriage, and I love my wife very very much - more than I ever have.
But I completely cut off communication with her because she is having an affair, and I feel like I'm finally doing the right thing.
If your personality is lost, or you've lost yourself, than something isn't right, and you haven't saved anything.
You can't save your marriage without saving yourself first - hear this from someone who's been doing this for going on 3 years now!
