Hi Punchy, I'm an old-timer who managed to save his marriage. I drifted away from the forum a while ago. I'd like you to think about the following:

Q2: What makes you think you're entitled to one?

Q3: You've confronted twice before, what would make a 3rd, 4th or 100th time any different?

No. Divorce is always a LONG painful process. Will this lead to divorce? There are no guarantees to anything in life. What works in one situation does not necessarily work in another.

I don't think you understand the power and influence of the mind. This (according to you) has been going strong for 18 months.
Q4: Why should this change?

The best advice I can give you is this:

STOP LIVING IN FEAR.

Fear cripples your ability to make decisions.
Fear forces you to swallow bitter pills.
Fear prevents you from living your life.
Your spouse can sense your fear.

Perhaps I missed this in one of your threads (and yes I read all of them)...
Q5: Has your W ever backtracked from her statement of living together for the sake of the kids?

I hear this forum is heavily moderated and I hope this message gets through to you.

IMHO I think it's time you went into a modified form of the LRT.
