Is this the end of my marriage?

P17-
From your timeline, it looks like you've been in this for a little over 2 months. I believe I read somewhere that statistically most affairs end around 6 months. If you really want to divorce bust, be prepared to have a lot of patience!

Your W may be in the middle of feeling the effects of a chemical "high" that might make her actions & reactions pretty irrational at times. Progress in these situations seems to come in slow, tiny steps- and there seem to be almost as many steps backward as forward.

I have been at this 8 months now. I have decided that I am prepared to "stand" a whole lot longer, in spite of the well-meaning friends and family telling me that my W moving out this week will help me "get over it" and "move on". You will need to go with your heart as well.

Good luck to you.
