Gucci: I've said before... I believe that AF, like me, is not a strategic person when it comes to his life relationships, and that he can only play these roles that you suggest when he truly is done and ready to walk away. You are right - He is stuck in his feelings. I don't think he'll be able to get beyond them until he is truly beyond them.
AF: Your wife isn't playing games with you just for kicks. She is really trying to make a decision here. She needs to see a strong man in you. You have been like a "rock" with regard to your dignity and "being there" for her. Those are beautiful things. I think she needs to see a MAN who won't put up with these silly antics from a silly little girl. MAN UP. Walk away. Move on. You are allowing yourself to be a fool over and over again. No woman wants a fool. She needs to be put in her place by seeing you take control of your life and by not allowing her to have the upper hand. I know that you won't be ready to see this perspective until you are... ready. I hope that is very soon.
