2 years ago, my W asked for a D because she had an A with her boss twice her age. We have 2 daughters, the youngest was barely 1 y.o. when she left. She ended it, but continued to work with him until Feb. this year. Her reasoning is that she just "doesn't feel like being married anymore". The OM shows up at my working place in Feb. and tries to get me fired. I stand up to him and never see him again.
Today...my W and I see each other every week. We have the kids 50/50 and in the past 7 months, my W has been engaging more and acting more like the old W I married.
I was honest with her and the problems I contributed to the marriage. I stood strong and got my self-esteem back. I also dropped the rope so that if she leaves, it's no big deal. I know I'm a person of worth.
To this day I get those low times and I feel resentment, anger, etc. But after a while you learn that all those are things that you can control. You either let them conquer you or you conquer them. I gave my sitch up to God and let Him run the show without expectations.
I can hear the fear, desperation, anger, etc. coming through in your posts. I get it. When are you going to start showing strength, courage, faith, etc.?
