I can see the analogy. I will just take each situation as it comes and try to block out negative thoughts and try and stay in the present. I guess it would hurt me further as a reconcilliation would be that much harder, though according to Michelle if 90% of affairs fizzle out after 6 months then it would not be a dealbreaker and maybe a chance to reconcile . On the other hand if she is not involved and wishes to have a period of calmness with herself and the children, and then move on when ready for another relationship, this would be even harder to reconcile I would think. Michelle puts this down as a diehard type who decides enough is enough, my wife also falls into this category.
