Hi Chuck66,

i really feel that at this point he has done so much damage that there is no turning back. I have retained a lawyer and he was sent a separation agreement approx. 1mo ago. After discovering the affair and the nature of it i.e. the involvement of my D and then his threats that he had already retained councel I panicked and ran out to get a lawyer and start proceedings. I have given him every opportunity to turn things around but he continues to go down the destructive path

i find it interesting your comment about 3rd world country. It is very true and you would think that he would think about this considering he himself is an immigrant to this country. His family is from Laos and they came during the vietnam war.

Laos was a bit of a dumping ground during the war and suffered a fair bit. His family fled the country and went to Thailand as refugees and then from there made it to Canada. So he has this history and yet he has turned around now and thrown his entire life away

He just continues to maintain that he wasn't "happy". I am sure he isn't but I know that the happiness that he is lacking is within himself and not b/c of me.
