Trusting the process. I believe that I am doing that. Just have questions and those who have gone through it are the best to ones to ask.
My girls rarely talk to him but that is more his choice than theirs. They are 32 and 22. His son (18) talks to him and is good friends with her sons. Even when he and the OW break up his son will still be friends with her kids.
I try to be kind to him and to keep my mouth shut...duct tape. I believe because I stay out of the way I can see things are changing and moving in the right direction...ever so slowly.
Did you have in your mind a set time? That it would be over or that you would give up? I know - I'm asking questions that have nothing to do with my situation...just wondering what other people were thinking.
It's hard to leave them alone when he lives here (and I don't want him to move out). We watch tv together several nights a week. We laugh together. He brings me gifts (dessert that we used to share when we were dating). He e-mails me during the day to check on how I'm feeling. He let's me know when he's going to be home late. So leaving him alone to have his relationship with the OW is hard...but I try.
