When I originally wrote this, he had a look of confusion on his face. I believe I read a lot into it. When I told him that maybe it was me that needed to change, I think now that it gave him an out and a reason for his affair. To be honest, I don't want to try to mind read any more.

Unsure what you are asking in regard to two people with very different perspectives shaking each other's core?? Explain?

No it is not a deal breaker or I wouldn't still be here.

I want him to be happy regardless of whether or not that happiness includes me. I, of course, would love his happiness to include me, but I love him enough to let him go if his happiness is something he can only have without me.
