I told him a little about what is going on and he does not understand how I can live like that.I Did not tell him about the affair BUT... he did ask if she was cheating on me...I did not answer the questions and just said some things happened and I really don't want to talk about it. ... It felt good talking to someone but I was still holding stuff back. I know you all lived though this stuff but I know if I told him about the affair he would say dump her and get out.
Doc, Don't sweat it - you did good. You're not asking your friend for advice - you have that in spades already, right? You're asking for friendship and support in whatever path YOU choose.
Most people don't get DB'ing. (If more people DID get it, there might be a lot fewer divorces, eh?) We all hear the advice to cut our losses and move on, sometimes many times! In a lot of ways, that's the easy road - but remember, you are taking the more challenging road of DB'ing for yourself first and foremost. You'll come out of this a stronger and better person. Stay the course.
