Thanks Allen. Everything you are saying makes good sense.

I was saying those things about the OM to be sarcastic - about him not being critical when he is, not being a cheater when he is, etc. so I hope she got that when I said it, but I'll try to avoid sending her to the OM.

If I am successful at getting the OM out of the picture, I can tell I still have a lot of damage control to do, based on her words to me. I guess when you are pulling a stick out of your gut, you initially make the wound worse before you can start to repair it. I loved the story you sent me about the log in the house. I told the OM that I needed to get the log out of my house before I could fix my house and he said, "Who, your wife" I said, "No, you!"


My wife is asking for a divorce and I don't completely understand why.
