My sitch--partner of 23 years announces he has been in affair; wants me to move out (I refuse) Currently living with new girlfriend. Read DB and DR right away. Have been GAL, acting cheerful, looking good whenever we need to see each other which is seldom. The trouble is, one of the main problems in our relationship is that I always was waay too independent. Didn't make him feel needed. Now I'm afraid that acting all OK, GAL, just lets him think "see, she never needed or really loved me. She's fine." How to demonstrate remorse, love, wanting to work on relationship without being too far in the begging, pleading world? especially as we are apart and have little reason to contact each other.
Me: 44 Him: 42 Together: 23 years; never married Bomb: August 1, 2009 Affair since May 2009 Walk away; no conversation; no process
