Dear H, I love you and am committed to you and our family we created together. I am willing to do whatever we can to work through the hardships our marriage has endured and come out the other side better than we have been before, however not at the expense of my own personal integrity nor my family's emotional well-being. I want a marriage and family that will bring us both joy, in a mutually healthy and committed way.
Your affair with OW is so painful for me that it is destroying the love and respect I have felt for you for many years. It is destructive to me, our daughter and our friends and family. In order to protect myself and our daughter from the pain of your affair and your attempts to destroy our family, I have decided to step away from the chaos.
Please respect my wish for no contact (other than email or text when necessary) for as long as you are involved in your affair. When your affair is ended, and you are ready to begin constructively working toward rebuilding our family, you may contact me and I will see how I feel about things at that time.
