And lastly mb28, the fact that your H is suggesting that someone gets hurt if he reconciles, pretty much is an admission of an affair... he doesn't realize it, but he's pretty much admitted he's involved with another woman...
There's no point in pressing that, he's clearly not going to admit this in public. He WILL HAVE TO admit this to the FT in private. The FT will have to walk him down the path of owning up to it to you mb28, but don't expect him to do that for a while.. he's clearly experiencing a LOT of shame over it.
The sad thing is, even if he wasn't, what he's donig NOW is pretty shameful and he's so focussed on NOT being condemmed as a CHEAT, he's IGNORING the fact that he's a RUNOUT HUSBAND.
What he's doing now publically, affair aside, isn't at all respectable.. but for some reason he's just worried about people believing he's NOT CHEATING ...
