Other myths &#150; these are dangerous to believe:

* The children will be fine, they get over these things.
* I&#146;ll give you everything if you agree to a quick divorce
* I&#146;ll take everything and you&#146;ll be destitute if you don&#146;t give me a quick divorce
* The affair is over and we&#146;re just friends.
* The affair is over and we can still work together


Wow, my H has said almost every single one of these things to me.

Allen and Puppy thank you so much for all the support you guys have been giving me. And I agree, I'm being very co-dependent and am becoming addicted with checking his phone records. And Allen your right, I don't have a lot of will power to do the NC with my phone. I have done better then in the past, but as you can see, it never lasts more then a day or two.

H just texted me "I hope you had a good birthday" I didn't respond. However, I'm dying to find out how his IC went.
