Cathy,

It's amazing how WE still find excuses for their character flaws: "I don't think he's ever had to sit down and explain to someone that something isn't working, to say to OW I want my M back." Why would it or should it be difficult for him to tell some whore that he's finished and is going back to his wife where he belongs? He didn't have any trouble or need anyone's permission to betray you, so how come now he needs mystical powers and strength to walk away from HER?

The only thing your H has to figure out is how to be a MAN. To acknowledge that he's made some horrific choices, sever all contact with OW and work on being a better H to you and father to his son. YOU are letting him know you're open to that...now he has to poop or get off the pot.

If you coddle him while he's still with OW, he'll never make a choice, he doesn't have to.
