Best of luck, Doc. I think you are right in forging your own path through this. Stick to your personal principles and you will be alright. I hope that the two of you will slow down this path to divorce. There is not a hurry to get there. You are both in an emotional maelstrom now. You are right in modeling the Prodigal Son. There is life after an affair. Many couples have chosen that path and are better for it. But it takes a desire from both spouses. I hope that your wife will soften in her stance toward you and open her mind to it. if you ever get the chance, I still recommend Retrouvaille. The couples are wonderful role-models of how the unhappily married can become the very happily married. Again, best of luck with the journey ahead.
