I understand completely Punchy. When I told my W to stop her EA or leave, she stopped the EA. But she was very depressed. I would peek in the shower and watch her cry. Truth be told, I didn't feel bad for her at all. She did wrong and was paying the consequences. That was 5 months ago...
It is so much better now. We are a couple again. We have fun every day and don't take one another for granted.
And I tell you this, if it ever happens again we are done! And I will never be friends with her but I will be friendly.
We each decide how much we can take. My threshold is short. I refuse to be cheated on. I don't need a friend, roommate or buddy. I need a wife. That's the position that is available to the person I married. And with that position comes certain expectations. That's what I'm looking for. That's who I want to love and cherish and support...
She choices if she wants to fill the position. If she does not want to then all I can do is move on.
She chose to stay. And that's good for BOTH of us. Not just me! Her too...
You are worthy of more then you're getting Punchy. We all are!
