The other thing is the book says swallow my pride and suck it up
The book says suck it up and swallow your "pride" (whatever that means) when your spouse is having an active affair? What page number?
Maybe you should buy her some hot new lingerie to wear out on her dates with other men?
Page 214-216
I don't appreciate the dig bro.
I think the point MWD makes is that you can wait things out in the sense that you GAL, LRT, Detach, but still be open t reconciliation if/when she some around. That doesn't mean you have to put up with or enable it while its going on.
