Forget the affair. Seriously. Forget it. The ONLY reason he is there is because she has no attachments to his real life. She is a nut case, but she's a nut case that when he's with her, he's not a crappy husband. He's not a crappy father. He's not a crappy provider. He's not a crappy businessman. He's the HERO in white shining armour. You think he doesn't want to see you? Of course he does. You think he doesn't want to be with you? Of course he does. You think he wants to sleep in a different house than you and your child? No a freaking chance in hell.....but when he's with you, he's reminded of his screw ups, his mistakes. When he's with her, once again, he's perfect. I'm not sure how you make him feel loved, wanted and needed. I'm not sure how you make him feel like your hero, but when you figure it out, you need to let me know so I can do that with my H. And however you do all of that, it needs to start happening today.
