Allen, I do not know what business you are in but I think you could have a lucrative sideline as an anonymous cheating Husband caller. I know no one who could deliver the above speech as well as you write it. Wow! I am printing that out and carrying it with me so that the next time someone asks me what they can do to help, I will hand it over and say "Say this to WH."
I think he would need to hear it a few times, from different people, to get past all the romantic crap he is fed.
"He's so worried about everyone thinking he's a cheater. And instead tells everyone that he can't go back to me, he couldn't handle being hurt again, and I made him feel so unloved for 4 years. That is what he is crying to everyone else."
mb, tell people he is cooking this up, focusing on the negative to justify his A. He was ok until he started cheating. I am so tired of people's reaction to an A is: What was wrong with the spouse? Well I'll save that rant for my thread! Hang on, the ups and downs will get farther apart as the coaster slows down.
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" 1st thread
