I dont think you understand... I think AFW has done MORE than enough! (Sorry, AFW) But, I think he needs to dump her. He's been dealing w/her begging to come home, but on HER (new and different) terms for MONTHS. Never on his terms, or ANY terms that are consistently NORMAL.
This woman got bored, slept around, shunned her D, slept around some more, completely PLAYED AFW for MONTHS, and, now that she doesn't have SOME NEW OM's chain to yank around, is begging to come home - but, won't do it unless she owns the terms.
Absolutely, completely, NOT someone this strong man of character needs to be considering anymore, AND AT THE VERY LEAST, validating to their daughter correct behavior, becoming a wife and MOM!
AFW just needs courage to move on. It will come. He knows. He just keeps hoping one day she'll wake up normal and rational again.
Sorry, AFW if I'm putting words in your mouth or thoughts in your brain. You are just WAY too good for this woman. Remember all the pain and heartache your Daughter has gone through, being abandoned by her MOM so she can party and sleep around.
God!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
