OK, you have part of it...

You can't negotiate or reason with an addict no...

But you CAN keep hitting him with something that will over time in some cases.. the guilt is an emotion and it IS there in most of these people, they just bury it in excitement and sleaze so its hard to find...

What you are doing wrong is expecting an intelligent response..

Just state the truth, factually, and WALK AWAY or HANG UP

Don't expect an immediate repsonse... He's an addict.. THAT is the part you need to correct...

Just state the facts and exit... dont' reason, don't negotiate, just state the facts :


Infidelity HARMS the ENTIRE FAMILY - you are a terrible father and an abusive husband


and HANG UP

KEEP DOING That.. OVER and oVER and OVER again..
