I told my W the following:

"W, I want you to know that I choose us, you and I and I will work hard to again capture what we lost. But we will only be successful if you and I do this together and without the interference of a third party. I am fully aware that OM is not the cause of our problems and is just a symptom of the unhealthy relationship we have allowed our marriage to become. But he does sit as a virus not allowing us to try and regain a healthy and happy marriage. As long as a virus is present we will not be able to get healthy again.

Today you have a choice. You can choose to stop seeing/talking/texting/e-mailing OM and give our marriage a try. Or you can choose to continue your EA in which case you and I can no longer be a couple. The CHOICE is yours."


I gave my W 24 hours to decide... And I was ready to walk away from her.

You need to be ready to do the sane if you set this boundary...
