oh yeah, I know that I've followed the same path as thousands, millions of guys before me. Do you know how many times I've read how a guy reacted or handled finding out about an affair, and thought to myself. . .good god, I did the exact same thing. The begging and pleading, promises, pouting, blowing up, apologizing, on and on and on. . .I know that I did the same thing over and over again, I'm just glad that I'm finally starting to break out of all of this and I'm surprising myself in the process.

and yeah, like I was saying to MIL. . .I'm in no way blaming my W 100%. . .this was a 50/50 thing. The difference is how we individually decided to deal with the situation that probably pushes the fault a little more towards her.
