Allen, we agree. Consequences. To Hope: My thought about the OW being a concern or not: I mean it in the way that, does it matter if that goes away if the addiction isn't dealt with? The addiction is still in the way of the marriage from what I see. I think the question is asked this way: which to deal with first, if I decide to deal with them? If so, I would say the addiction is the big one. But I could be wrong as to which to deal with first. Just that you can't deal with both at the same time as effectively as if you dealt with one at a time.
