I cannot think of a single instance where I ever felt like I should have taken a SOFTER stand. Most of my regrets in my marriage, in dealing with my kids, and in my life in general have been that I wished I had been FIRMER and drawn a stronger boundary.
I hear you. I know it's my decision. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do. At this point I don't think I have any shot at saving my marriage but if I did the affair would have to end. She did this and so far has not suffered but has made my daughter, myself and her family suffer. It is time for accountability and I will not be disrespected through my daughter by her. Had she not done this, I probably would have waited longer but I cannot at this point.
